Sometimes we forget how much our lives are dependent upon the seasons of the year. Not just what jacket to wear or which food is in season, but rather how our mind and body interact with the cycles of nature. For example, should an 8-year old engage in technical mountain climbing while an 80-year attempts to play football? A teenager can eat non-stop where a 50-ish person can get by on much less.
Of course there are exceptions with various individuals and their level of health and fitness. Do you know where you at in the seasons of your life and how you can be mindful of what you eat, what type of exercise you engage in, what your thoughts are focused upon? The philosophy behind many of the Far Eastern practices of Qigong, Tai Chi and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are all about becoming aware of these aspects and how to balance them within your life.
Hundreds of different exercises, poses, forms, sets, etc. Some of these exercises are thousands of years old. Low-impact and all with various levels of difficultly allow everyone to benefit from practicing. All poses have physical, mental and self-awareness aspects, depending on the individual’s goals and interests.
