A practical introduction to T’ai Chi and Qigong

Therese Iknoian’s guide breaks T’ai Chi concepts and movements into plain-language explanations, illustrations, and step-by-step instruction. It covers basic movements and forms, including the Yang 24-Movement Form, alongside Qigong and Push Hands techniques. The book also includes movements for aerobic exercise and techniques it presents as supporting recovery from specific injuries. Its account connects practice with aims such as balance, flexibility, concentration, and stress reduction; these are presented as benefits of the practice, not guarantees. The scope makes this both an entry point to the fundamentals and a reference for exploring several related forms of practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking an introduction to T’ai Chi principles and movements
