Ride from Within
Use Tai Chi Principles to Awaken Natural Balance and Rhythm
JAMES SHAW
Few forms of exercise are better suited for equestrians than Tai Chi, an
ancient Chinese art that unifies the body, mind, and spirit in a series
of flowing movements that align the posture, breath, and inner-and
outer-most being. Combining this practice with horsemanship offers a
rider the opportunity to become one with her horse, to better her skills
by centering her body, gaining control of her breathing, and calming her
mind. From the Yin and Yang perspective and opening the Eight Gates, to
enhancing movement and power on the ground and refining skills in the
saddle, Shaw teaches the techniques necessary to achieve a true
connection with the horse. With step-by-step color photographs to guide
readers through introductory exercises and a basic discussion of Eastern
philosophy, this book provides a great foundation for a new way of
riding.
JAMES SHAW has studied and trained in the martial arts for over twenty
years. His unique form of Tai Chi for the equestrian, combining the
structural balance of Tai Chi, the energy work of Chi Gong, and the
healing aspects of Laing Gong, has been successfully applied by
recreational, professional, and Olympic-level riders of all disciplines.
He lives in Arizona and travels extensively teaching his techniques at
clinics throughout the United States and United Kingdom.
