A valuable in-home resource for students of tai chi who want to move beyond the basics, Tai Chi: Exercise for Lifelong Health and Well-Being with DK author and instructor Tricia Yu offers a brief recount of the history of tai chi and an overview of the health benefits enjoyed by practitioners, before moving into the studio to demonstrate Yang style short form in five sections (from both front and back views). Yu begins each section by discussing the particular principles of tai chi related to that particular set of exercises, and finishes each segment by discussing how these principles (both physical and mental) can be carried over into everyday activities. A beautifully filmed program, featuring detailed instruction from a skilled teacher, this is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. Also available for the same price on DVD is Yu's Tai Chi: Fundamentals for Mastering Tai Chi Basics. Aud: P. (K. Sullivan)
