Tai chi practice with seated and standing options

Sifu Philip Bonifonte’s guide introduces tai chi through its movement principles, positions, and history, then outlines exercises that can be performed either standing or seated. The source describes adaptations that take limited range of movement into account and says no prior experience is needed. True stories from mature adults accompany the instruction. The book also presents tai chi as a low-impact exercise practice and discusses its possible relevance to health concerns; those claims are the book’s framing, not a substitute for individual medical advice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Older adults exploring tai chi, including beginners
  • People seeking a supplemental guide to use alongside classes
  • Readers interested in seated or standing exercises that account for limited range of movement
