A Morning Cup of Tai Chi: One 15-Minute Routine to Nurture Your Body, Mind, and Spirit

The Morning Cup

by John Bright-Fey

This colorfully illustrated 15-minute exercise routine introduces readers to the basics of the ancient ""bodymind"" art of Tai Chi. The author approaches Tai Chi with fun and simplicity, making this a practice anyone can engage in and enjoy. Tai Chi, the ancient Chinese art of mind-body harmony, is designed to achieve a balance of mental and physical fitness. It combines elements of calming, focusing, strengthening, toning, and balance. Tai Chi is popular among all age groups, especially seniors, because of its low physical impact and tremendously positive impact on vitality. Bright-Fey has developed and trademarked a revolutionary way to teach Tai Chi, called the New Forest Way. This simple method makes the art of Tai Chi easy for people of all ages to learn and use daily to improve their health.

I enjoyed the watercolor illustrations and the simplicity of this book. I feel like I learned something without it being tedious, and I think the author’s simplified version of Tai Chi practice, which he has named New Forest, is a great starting place that’s accessible to people of different ages and different physical abilities.

This is pretty lame. I wanted a simple tai chi practice for my mornings but this is a very strange counting/rhyming tai chi. I don't want a type of tai chi invented by the guy who wrote this book, I want tai chi.

This is one of those books you continously pickup and read when you need inspiration to your body, mind and soul.
