Tai Chi Illustrated Workbook & companion health course

This 200 page, ring-bound manual is unlike any other book on Tai Chi. If you are looking for something to explain in everyday terms the basics of the art and tempt you into starting the practice, then this book is for you. The Workbook contains: 

  • Tai Chi fundamental exercises
  • Articles on history and applications
  • Vibrant water-colour and ink illustrations
  • Quizzes 
  • Worksheets
  • Tips and Tricks 

The illustrated workbook goes beyond the typical "how to" book and sets you off on a personal journey into the art of Tai Chi, the spirit and 21st century practices. 

 

LEARNING TAI CHI HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER OR MORE DELIGHTFUL: 

👋 Hi, my name is Paul Read and I've been teaching Tai Chi for over 30 years. I have written a half-dozen books while researching new ways of learning Tai Chi over at my online school.

 

I wanted to create something unique that would help beginners learn Tai Chi in a new, visually exciting and interactive way that shows how Tai Chi relates to you individually. This Workbook, is the culmination of these years of teaching.

 

6 REASONS WHY YOU'LL LOVE THE BOOK:

  1. Ring bound for laying-down flat: Leave it open on a table, stand back and work through the exercises. Its big images, sketches, watercolours and ink drawings guide you through Tai Chi's fundamentals
  2. Interactive Learning: Check your progress with each chapter in the Tai Chi quizzes that challenge your understanding at each stage
  3. Illustrated Simple Movements: Taking you from the very beginnings and introducing you to the main elements, ideas and practices from balance and movement and breath to Taoism, Mindfulness and applications
  4. Super-detailed references: In addition to the images, explanations and photos, further examples and demonstrations can be accessed by using your phone to scan the scattered QR codes throughout the book.
  5. Hybrid Learning: (Optional) And there is more! Every book ordered during this launch period, unlocks a free online course (valued at £45). It's called Tai Chi for Health and it reinforces, and supplements the content of the workbook
  6. Bonus PDFs: Plus! You also receive 2 bonus PDFs that focus on Tai Chi Balance and Tai Chi Extra Exercises

 

NOTES:

Q: HOW DO I GET THE COURSE AND OTHER PDFs? When ordering, ensure you opt in to receive emails. That way you will receive a coupon code within a few minutes that reduces course price and PDFs from £45 to £0.00

Q: CAN YOU SHIP OUTSIDE THE UK?

Books are published using a small independent business based in the UK. They can still be sent to another country, but estimated costs for postage and packing, and arrival times will vary. (Check link below for estimated shipping) But it will arrive! Patience is a virtue and part of learning Tai Chi. In fact I'd say it is the first lesson. However, whilst waiting, you'll have the course to keep you going!

Q: ANY OTHER PAYMENTS OR HIDDEN SUBSCRIPTIONS? Other than postage and packing for the book (this varies depending on country) there are no other payments.

Q: CAN I ORDER A DIGITAL VERSION INSTEAD? 

If you do not want to pay postage fees or prefer not to wait for delivery you can order a digital eBook version (no postage costs but still comes bundled with course). The digital version is available here.

Excellent introduction to tai chi

This is an excellent introduction to tai chi in its fullness, not just the form. Paul style is down to earth and supportive with a smattering of anarchic humour.

The Tai Chi Illustrated Workbook

It is a beautiful book. I like that I can keep it on my table top and refer to it as many times as I like. I like that it is spiral bound instead of only a .pdf. It makes it much easier follow along with. What a great complement to the online instruction. Thank you.

Inspiring and Beautiful

This was a gift from my partner and I fell in love with the images straight away, especially the watercolours and the pencil sketches that create a sense of that evasive element in tai chi - flow. I found myself filling out the worksheets, quizzes and todos, out of fun and pleasure, and using the QR codes to check out online examples and demos. Thank you Paul for creating this unique work book.
