Product Description

The Empty Vessel, Fall 2002
A great way to introduce your own children to this ancient healing and balancing movement art.

Synopsis
Millions of adults practice the ancient Chinese exercise of tai chi everyday. Now children can experience the numerous health, learning and social benefits of tai chi - focused attention, enhanced creativity, imagination, self-confidence and improved balance, circulation and overall health - through the eight simple exercises introduced in TAI CHI FOR KIDS. * Uses children's delight in imitating animals to teach the eight basic tai chi forms essential for health * Each exercise is accompanied by colourful artwork and photographs of the author's 7-year-old son demonstrating postures * Written as a story to invite imaginative play and learning * Designed for children and parents to play with together and for independent learning by older children. Inspired by his own son's excitement with tai chi at the age of only three, master teacher Stuart Olson appeals to the innate imagination and playfulness of children to teach them the eight basic forms of a tai chi practice. Children have fun imitating animals while guided by colourful and playful illustrations and photographs of Olson's son, Lee, performing each posture. Olson uses the language of a storyteller, wonderful animal metaphors that invite children to pretend and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions so that every child can enjoy such exercises as "Chasing the Monkeys Away," and "Riding the Tiger to the Mountain." TAI CHI FOR KIDS introduces children to a lifetime of physical fitness and instills in them a love of movement.
