About the AuthorJing Weston has practiced Tai Chi for more than two decades and has spent most of that time working with older adults, people managing chronic conditions, and beginners who came to movement late and found it transformed how they lived. He began with group classes at a community center and eventually worked one-on-one with people whose physical constraints required a more individualized approach: patients recovering from joint replacements, people with severe balance deficits, adults in their eighties who had been sedentary for years and wanted to change that.His teaching approach is grounded in a single conviction: that the body at any age responds to appropriate, consistent movement. Not to dramatic intervention. Not to punishment. To the kind of slow, deliberate, breath-coordinated practice that Tai Chi represents at its core. He has seen this conviction validated too many times to hold it lightly.He holds decades of attention to how older bodies move, what helps them, and what does not. This book is an attempt to make that attention available to people who cannot be in the same room with him.He lives simply and practices every morning, usually before the day has fully started.
