"the "70% rule", practicing with 70% of your available effort and not pushing 100%, the idea of practicing while staying relaxed, with good posture, within your comfort zone. As the 70% gets stronger the 100% will get stronger naturally. reasons for falling in love with Tai Chi: If you can walk you can do tai chi: One of the unique features of Tai Chi is that physical entry level to practice Tai Chi is so accessible. Tai Chi is for all ages. Many people, especially older adults, don’t really believe that that they can actually become stronger at that point in their lives, especially if there are some health issues, but if someone practices tai chi for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times a week, for even a few months, it has amazing effects. If you can walk—even barely walk—you can do Tai Chi! (a brief personal note: at the age of 62, I was recovering from a serious spinal illness and was able to begin to practice Tai Chi while still hooked up to the IV, and could only stand up for a few minutes at a time!) Tai Chi just plain feels good. Unlike many physical activities, tai chi emphasizes moderation and relaxation. As you become familiar with the moves, doing Tai Chi feels almost like you’re moving slowly in a swimming pool, floating through the movements. Also, the slow shifting of the weight increases your awareness of your own body, and the space around you. Tai Chi is an Art: Tai Chi is a lot more interesting than plain exercise or calisthenics. Tai Chi is a complex art, with a beauty of movement and subtlety of purpose that makes it interesting to study and practice over a long period of time. Learning Tai Chi provides a real sense of accomplishment: Learning a Tai Chi form (choreography) is substantial accomplishment! It’s a great memory exercise, and the increased integration and coordination of movement that develops from learning to move smoothly from one posture to another makes you feel that you’ve really learned something significant. Practicing Tai Chi is a great form of stress reduction. Tai Chi, like all meditation, can be a mental ‘safe space’ or mindfulness practice, where you live in the moment and leave everyday cares aside. When keeping attention on the movements it’s impossible to think about other things. Tai Chi is a great way to meet people and make friends. It’s Fun to practice in a group in class! Most people that practice Tai Chi are interesting, open, friendly, and supportive. So, If you're looking for a new way to reduce stress, improve your health, and enjoy life, please give Tai Chi a try, you’ll be glad you did! and if you're in the NYC area and interested in Tai Chi please get in touch!
