Teaching you to "walk in balance, with grace and symmetry" is the premise of Chiwalking: The Five Mindful Steps for Lifelong Health and Energy. A new way of walking incorporating T'ai Chi and proven aerobics and muscle-toning techniques in a holistic approach guarantees a total workout and enhancement of the body, mind, and spirit.

Emphasizing the five steps - Getting Aligned, Engage Your Core, Create Balance, Make a Choice, and Move Forward - the reader is expertly led through the where, what, why and now of Chiwalking and it's benefits:"The value comes from the mindful practice of listening to your body and moving your body from an aligned, engaged, balanced place."

An interesting concept, nicely illustrated with detailed photographs and instructions on proper alignment, movements and exercises that can be easy followed by hard core walkers or beginners, "moving with a sense of balance and grace will become more than a way of walking--it will become a way of life.”
