Highlighting the techniques developed by the author, Tai Chi Mind and Body focuses on an easy to learn method that maintains the integrity of traditional tai chi, yet eliminates or modifies areas of difficulty consistently encountered by students. Featuring step-by-step exercises with arrows to indicate movement and a unique superimposed floor grid showing the correct foot positions for every move, this book provides a fresh approach to achieving better health.

I enjoyed this book. It is extremely clear and very helpful. Every step explained in words and pictures. It is the most straightforward instruction book on any subject that I have ever read.
The author is Tricia Yu, not William Chen, as Amazon has it catalogued.
There is a quotation from William Chen on the cover of the book, which may have misled the cataloguers.

I have browsed through a number of T'ai Chi instructional books, but none compare to the quality of this one. Every movement of the T'ai Chi form is clearly demonstrated with numerous, full-body photographs and detailed written instructions. Correlations are also given between the form's movements and a section of "basic moves" which help train the basic movement patterns of T'ai Chi. I love that the "basic moves" section even includes written descriptions and pictures of common mistakes! In the book, the author also covers some basic warm-up techniques and other essential aspects of T'ai Chi such as breathing. It's amazing how much she packed in to 160 beautiful and inspirational pages.
Another thing I appreciate about the book is that it is a wonderful complement to Tricia Yu's T'ai Chi Fundamentals video that I already owned. Now I can use the video for practice or to experience the flow of the movements, but I can also reference the book for more "static" detail. Oh yeah - the video is beautiful and inspirational as well.

I have looked at Tai Chi texts for over twenty years and this is simply the best text I've ever seen. The photographs, both inside the studio and outside, are lovely and practical. They have a side text and brief remarks in the photo identifying key
points in each posture. The written text is clear and straitforward without the usual overemphasis on philosophy, history, and martial arts. It's really the type of text that any beginner(and even more advanced student)will benefit from.
