Foot Chi
Posted in Natural Care by admin
Is there a form of tai chi or yoga to accommodate someone who suffers very tight hamstrings and a curved spine?
meaning they can’t touch their toes without bending their legs, they can’t balance well on one foot, and they aren’t flexible.
Don’t know about Tai Chi, but for yoga asana think most would recommend Iyengar yoga.
Named after B. K. S. Iyengar, the style is notable for originating the use of “props” (blocks, straps, folded blankets, and cushions known as bolsters) to assist a practitioner in maintaining the best possible alignment he or she can managed without sacrificing poor form/alignment.
Other words, in Iyengar yoga, having good technique in a pose is much more important than accomplishing a ‘perfect’ unassisted pose.
(actually, in my opinion, this should be true in all styles of yoga asana, but this perspective is often minimal or missing in the teaching approach of many other style yoga asana styles.)
“There have been many studies performed on the effects of Iyengar yoga on patients with physical problems. In general, Iyengar yoga is useful in physical therapy because it assists in the manipulation of inflexible or injured areas.”

If you are within USA, you can look for a Iyengar certified instructor here:

If outside USA, try an internet search using words “iyengar certified instructor,” adding the name of your country.

Chi Running (Paperback) $22.36 Danny Dwyer`s book sets a land speed record for packing in worthy facts and hints to help runners avoid injury, get marathon-ready mileage from their run, and obtain even higher "runner`s highs." As the title might suggest, the focus here is on harnessing "chi," which means inner energy (or life force) in Eastern medicine, and using the whole body and soul when running. Aspects are included, such as cadence (the amount of time your feet are on the ground while running), the length of the stride, the angle at which to swing the arms (90 degrees, and behind the body). There are tips for everything from foot alignment to visualization. Black and white photos illustrate all the practices. |
