A simple and inclusive Tai Chi program, completely modifiable with helpful illustrations, that empowers people of all physical abilities to experience the transformative qualities of this art.

Includes sequences for standing/moving, stationary standing, seated, and wheelchair.

​In Tai Chi Chuan, the traditional Chinese martial and healing art, we learn to overcome challenges by empowering the mind and transforming the body. Adaptive Tai Chi offers an innovative approach that speaks to this powerful idea and makes Tai Chi accessible and beneficial to people with a range of physical conditions or ambulatory impairment.

The slow, circular, flowing, and graceful movements of Tai Chi require little space and no equipment, making it an ideal practice for people with different physical abilities (it's been included in the Paralympics since 2008). Adaptive Tai Chi introduces readers to the culture, philosophy, and physiology of Tai Chi-and gives readers four completely illustrated practices, each modified for different physical abilities, including conventional standing/moving, stationary standing, seated, and wheelchair sequences.

Along with the complete illustrated adaptive Tai Chi sequences, Guo includes notes and philosophical insights into each practice. The complete program offered in Adaptive Tai Chi allows everyone to access the profound benefits of Tai Chi practice.
