Description
Two ancient practices. One daily ritual. Built for adults sixty and older For more than two decades, Margaret Chen has taught both Tai Chi and seated Chair Yoga to people who were told they were "too old," "too tired," or "too injured" to move. They were none of those things. They were waiting for a practice that met them where they were - and that gave them both traditions at once. This is that practice. Tai Chi + Chair Yoga is not a compromise between two traditions. It is a complete hybrid path that respects what each tradition does best. Tai Chi teaches the body to move with softness. Yoga teaches the body to be still with aliveness. Together, alternating day by day across a structured twenty-eight day program, they cover the full territory of what an older body needs. Inside, you'll find: - Ten classical Yang-style Tai Chi forms adapted for the chair (Cloud Hands, Brush Knee Push, Single Whip, Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg, Repulse Monkey, Grasp Sparrow's Tail, and more)
- Twelve seated Chair Yoga poses drawn from the broader hatha yoga tradition (Seated Mountain, Cat-Cow, Eagle Arms, Spinal Twist, Heart Opener, Half Lord of the Fishes, Triangle, Tree Pose, Warrior Arms, and more)
- Four breath patterns including Natural Breath, Box Breathing, Long Exhale Breath, and seated Alternate Nostril Breathing
- A complete 28-day program alternating Tai Chi and Yoga days, with day-by-day instructions and weekly arc (Foundation, Deepening, Integration, Mastery)
- Three difficulty levels for every form and pose - Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced - so the practice scales naturally with you
- A dedicated chapter on modifications for arthritis, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, chronic lower back pain, post-surgery recovery, and limited shoulder mobility
- A quick-reference appendix with form-by-form modifications for each condition
- Fifty-seven full-page illustrations in large print, showing exactly what to do
- Twelve free companion video tutorials on YouTube, accessible via QR code
- A 30-30-30 routine for lifelong daily practice beyond Day 28 What makes this approach different is its commitment to honoring both traditions in their own day. You won't be asked to mix them in a single session. You won't be told one is preparation for the other. They alternate, day by day, and the body learns by switching.
Written for adults sixty and older - and for anyone recovering, rebuilding, or simply ready to give their body both movement and stillness.
Large Print Edition with 16-point typography for comfortable reading at any age. Book 2 in The Chair Tai Chi Series. Each book stands on its own.
