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 them up and go 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.
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 holds that can be used while in meetings, at home and even commuting.

This VHS/DVD is for anyone who often sits, including office workers, frequent flyers, seniors, and to keep moving while recovering from knee, hip or other surgeries. Arthritis Today called Tai Chi "tailor made for those suffering with arthritis", and NIH studies report increase in immune function, balance, and reduction in stresss. This DVD/VHS extends the benefits of Tai Chi integrating Self Care Acupressure, as used by patients at Stanford Hospital, from a seated position.
In addition to a 20 minute set of Tai Chi and Chi Kung moves from your chair, it also includes a guide to basic acupressure points for immune function, pain, and other acupressure points used in the set which can be used as BODY TUNE UP anytime, anywhere. DVD includes additional instruction on Self Care.
Instructor Cindy Mason provides a guide to acupressure points for pain and immune function and visually instructs Tai Chi Chi Kung movement with relaxing sounds from the bubbling creek near Indian Canyons in Southern California where filming took place.
