You don't need to stand up to feel strong again.
If getting down on a mat, following a fast-paced workout video, or worrying about your balance has kept you from moving the way you'd like - this book was written for you.
Chair Tai Chi for Women Over 70 brings the slow, graceful, flowing movements of tai chi to a chair, so you can build strength, ease, and confidence without ever leaving your seat. No equipment. No floor work. No pressure to keep up. Just gentle, guided movement designed specifically for a body that deserves patience, not punishment.
While written with women in their 70's and beyond in mind, this book is just as valuable for women in their
50's and
60's who want to build a sustainable movement habit now - whether you're managing early joint stiffness, easing into a gentler form of exercise, or simply looking to move with more calm and intention long before it feels necessary. Chair tai chi has no age limit; it only asks that you move at your own comfortable pace, whatever that pace looks like today.
Inside, you'll find:- 40 fully illustrated seated exercises, each broken down the same easy way every time - Focus, Level, Duration, Starting Position, How to Perform, Breathing, and a Make It Easier option, so you always know exactly what to do
- Four ready-made routines - 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes - so you never have to plan your own workout
- A complete 30-day program that builds gradually from your very first seated breath to flowing, connected movement
- A practice tracker and weekly reflection pages to help you notice real progress, one gentle day at a time
- Large, easy-to-read text and clear, uncluttered layouts designed with comfort in mind from the very first page.
Whether you're 55, 65, or 85, and whether you're managing a health condition, recovering from a setback, or simply looking for a calmer, more sustainable way to stay active, this book meets you exactly where you are - and helps you build a practice you'll actually want to keep.
