DVD: Riding with Chi: Your Pathway to Energy Mastery

We are happy to see this wonderful project come to fruition at last! This just released DVD created by Andrea Steele features Mark Russell, Patricia Norcia, and David Ritchie. Riding with Chi is now available through filmbaby.com.

From the DVD cover:

The Chinese character chi represents the life-process or energy flow that sustains all living things. In Chinese culture, the practice of Tai Chi and Qi Gong (chee kung) evolved, in part, as a way of enhancing the flow of chi within the human body. In Riding with Chi, the elements of efficient energy flow—low breathing, relaxation, spinal alignment, and balance—are discussed and demonstrated in terms of these exercises and their application to the rider’s position (Disc 1). Disc 2 teaches several short, easy-to-follow Tai Chi–style and Qi Gong routines. You will learn to relieve facial tension, lower and increase your breath, relax and supple your body, and achieve a stable and balanced position while in motion, as on a horse. Once you learn to feel energy flow within your own body, you will feel it within your horse as well, opening a pathway for extraordinary communication between horse and rider.

Over time, energy mastery will bring grace and sophistication to your riding position as it becomes apparent how a fusion between relaxation and energy flow forms the foundation for balance in motion—for both horse and rider.

Three experts have come together to bring you this unique program: Mark Russell, Patricia Norcia; dressage trainer and instructor of breathing techniques, and David Ritchie. David has operated his own school, Central Connecticut Tai Chi Ch’uan, since 1989.
