About this course
This course introduces the discipline of Kinesiology through Tai Chi exercises including well-known short forms consisting of 24 postures. The principles of unity, centering, balance, alignment, breath and mind intent, "yin and yang" relationships, and the development of Chi are examined, along with the benefits of Tai Chi exercise relative to age, gender, and environmental conditions. Basic exercise physiology, nutrition, fundamentals of strength development, flexibility, and meditation concepts as related to Tai Chi and "health and wellness" are explored. There will also be a global and historical examination of the Taoist philosophy and the development of various forms of Tai Chi.
