Tian Tao Yoga

Book excerpt: Tian Tao Yoga is a powerful technique of regeneration and self-healing that was practiced secretly in China's monasteries until the Cultural Revolution. One of the special features of this gentle yet powerful method is that it is easy to learn and does not require any special athleticism or agility. This makes it possible for older people or those with limited mobility to practice the exercises. Body, mind and soul are effectively revitalized and aligned on a deep inner level.In this book, Julia Kant provides insight into the practice, philosophy and history of these once closely guarded techniques. She reports on her own path to Tian Tao as well as on the amazing experiences of many practitioners. The basic level exercises, presented with numerous illustrations, can already show profound effects if practiced regularly. The book also contains an exercise guide with valuable tips and explanations based on experience from many years of teaching and hundreds of seminars. It can serve as a useful companion.
