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.Riding with Chi is for riders of all levels and any discipline. Three experts have come together to bring you this unique program:    Patricia Norcia owns a dressage training facility in Connecticut and has taught breathing exercises at major universities.          US- and Asian-trained David Ritchie owns and operates a school for Tai Chi Ch'uan and Qi Gong instruction in Connecticut.       Mark Russell, author of Lessons in Lightness, owns a training facility in Tennessee and gives clinics across the country.Original soundtrack by Carlos Gonzalez.
