Anniversary of Publishing My Book

It's hard to believe that only 4.5 years ago I published my book for families: Breathe: Tai Chi Qigong for Children. In that time I have enjoyed hearing from parents and teachers all over the world how they have utilized the book in their personal and professional lives. Without Createspace I would not have been able to share my love for Tai Chi and Qigong with them. When I wrote the book, Yoga was very well known and popular in North America. These days it is becoming more common for people to know what Tai Chi is, and to a lesser extent Qigong. Written as a brief gentle introduction to these arts, I hope it piques the interest of parents, teachers and other caregivers and provides a fun introduction to a healthier lifestyle.

 A randomized trial carried out by researchers at Texas Tech University found that 24 weeks of tai chi improved general health, vitality, and stride width while decreasing pain compared to a control group. The study involved randomly dividing 61 females aged 65 plus with low bone mass into two groups. The first group practiced tai chi three times per week one hour per session for 24 weeks. The other group was a control group who did not receive tai chi training.
