It is expecially effective for people who sit too much or for those who have their energy concentrated in their heads.

With over 85 photographs, Hua-Ching Ni clearly and meticulously guides you through the 49 postures including many sitting meditation postures never shown before. This book was designed to compliment and explain the Dao-In video which is also part of the 'Master's Series' of Taoist Internal Arts.
