Great Tai Chi exercises aimed at spinal health
I attended a weekend retreat at Nan Tien Temple in Sydney, Australia http://www.nantien.org.au/. We were taught by the resident nuns. It was a wonderful experience of staying there and following the nuns in learning Tai Chi and meditation outside and in the main hall infront of 5 giant Buddha statues.

The exerices were developed by Dr Simin Chen, who is a lineage holder of Chang style of Tai Chi and a TCM doctor specialising in spinal health.

The book and the accompaning DVD are a wonderful compliment to the exercise. Watch Dr Chen and follow the instructions, or follow a group of wonderful nuns of Nan Tien Temple doing it gracefully outside in the courtyard.

I love it and recommend it. ... Read more
