Just finished reading this and I will keep going back to it. Lou Reed died in 2013 and had written lots of notes about his love of Tai Chi training. Along with his wife, Laurie Anderson, the people he collaborated with, both musically and with Tai Chi, have contributed to this book and it's a fascinating read.
Tony Visconti, record producer writes about how important his relationship was with Lou Reed through their Tai Chi connection and how Tai Chi has been a major force in his life. This is one quote taken from his contribution to the book.
"Tai Chi is beautiful in that it has three benefits. It's got health benefits. You practice the forms slowly to strengthen your body and also to give your internal organs a kind of massage.The second thing, which is equally important, it's a form of meditation. Lou and I were attracted to this. Your mind becomes tranquil, very relaxed".
Visconti also writes about how closely aligned the basic principals of Tai Chi are with the Alexander Technique, which he has also studied and how Tai Chi and Alexander Technique improves his wellbeing when he put both practices together.
It's why I've also taken the same route and teach both

If you're looking for something different for your wellbeing agenda this could be for you!
Tai Chi takes care of body and mind. The emphasis is on health and healing, improving strength, mobility, flexibility and balance with gentle, flowing meditative movements.
A highly effective stress buster!

Always thought I could balance pretty well, but it has never been, nor will ever be, as good as this. Amazing movement and balance skills. Alexander Technique is excellent for improving both but no guarantees for reaching this standard 😃

Found this along Bottle Alley. Beautifully balanced stones. Humans can be beautifully balanced too.
Qijong/Tai Chi is a wonderful way of bringing balance back into our lives with meditative, rhythmic movement. I'm holding Friday classes during March at The Clifton Centre St Leonards on Sea . Do get in touch if you would like to know more

We can mitigate postural and back pain by good body use but chair design still has a lot to answer for

The long read: Most chairs aren’t designed to serve human bodies – but a better seat is possible

This is a great quote. I think of the Alexander Technique in the same way...we usually start off with moving well and thinking clearly and then our habits intervene. Alexander's discovery was around clarity of thought and ease of movement.
