Just thought I'd steal the first post in this forum Big Grin to display some interesting info on a religion that I find quite fascinating from a philosophical point of view.

Yin-Yang Enjoy! Tau

Thank you for sharing.

Tai chi is something I have been interested in trying due to its gentle nature (I really am not the aerobic jumping about sort of gal)

Before reading this article I was unaware of the link.

So thanks again its always good to learn new things

Oh, Firebird, Tai Chi is excellent.

I do the Taoist form, and love it.
http://www.taoist.org/english
May even be a group near you.

It's great for low back problems, as well as just getting everything synchronized -- every move, there's something for every part to be doing. You can concentrate on the moves, or just take your cues from the rest of the group. Takes a few months to learn the basics, but there's always variations to try.

They've got studies showing it's good for osteoperosis and anecdotal stories about several other diseases.

They also have a health recovery centre, a Taoist temple, a meditation centre, and, well, check out the site if you're interested.

I expect most of the other forms are just as good.

I find it's really relaxing, and there's always something else to concentrate on. Simply remembering all 108 moves can be a challenge, or you can take your cues from the others in the group. I've seen one stroke victim go from incredibly awkward to almost normal.

You can intensify workout, not by speeding it up, but by slowing it down and really stretching. Or you can do it quickly to limber up.

Do take the time to look into it.

Cricket

Thank you Cricket. I emailed them today and await a reply I am hoping their group is not too far from where I live as I am hoping also to get my son interested.
