Tai Chi Chair is the Perfect Exercise for The Office or Home

Its easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine. Its not so easy to get up and  spend an hour and a half getting there, exercising and showering and back again when schedules are already packed with meetings, parenting, working, commuting, etc.  There are other situations, such as when recovering from an illness, you might want to get moving but you're not quite ready to get back to normal yet.

For sitters of all kinds, the slow motion movements of Tai Chi Chair increase body awareness, agility, circulation, and best of all peace of mind. Tai Chi Chair is tai chi movement for the seated position. What makes Tai Chi Chair special is that instructor Cindy Mason integrates self care acupressure into the set, including simple "quickies" that can be used while in meetings, at home and even commuting.

Designed for view in short segments or as continuous play.

OTHER TESTIMONIES

Stroke Survivor
AD Walker, Tai Chi Chair Class

What Cindy teaches emphasizes emotional and physical well being.  Even within your
own family, medicine can’t help such emotional pains, which affect our health Self Care
I do the self care on my own.  I know mentally, I can live now, a long life.  Even though I have gotten on the pinnacle
of medicinal doctors, they had become my “god”.  It leaves you high and dry if you do not look inside at your own
resources. I humbly realize my folly, the excess to which I had thrown myself at their mercy.

You can lose so much.  You really have to do it.  I started getting a little bit depressed.  The more I have lost, the
more I have been depressed.  I have been bankrupt with the cost of the medicines.and to the stage I did not know
where to turn.  And then I found the self care. .  Daily I am regaining Things I thought were lost. I had no medical availability.
Thank you. Thank you.  Thank you.

Testimony of A. B.
Polio Survivor

I have practiced the Self Care Cindy showed me for a little over a year now.  It has made a big difference.  I stand up straighter, I sit straighter.  It has given me courage to make other changes in my life.   That’s all I have to say.
