STOPPING HAIR LOSS AND GRAYING HAIR: in my early 20’s I started to lose my hair to a widow’s peak like my father. I found when I began to do the head stand and shoulder stand every day, my hair loss stopped. Amazingly, at the age of 77 I have only a few strands of gray. If you are doing a head stand for the first time, use a wall behind you or a friend to make sure you don’t fall backwards. Only when you are stable should you try the leg variations. And as always, remember stomach breathing.

FOR HEART AND BRAIN HEALTH - THE SHOULDER STAND: One can either start with the hands to the side face down or under the hips. If you can’t get the hips up from your back, you can roll into it from a seated position. Once the legs are up, hold for 10 stomach breaths or more if you can. The leg variations should only be tried when comfortable in the position. Last post next week - the Head Stand.

FLOWING LIKE WATER: This simple tai chi movement feels like flowing water. Using gentle stomach breathing - we inhale during our turn and exhale while flowing out. A great stress reliever when done for at least 10 full turns. NEXT WEEK: Heart and Brain Health.

FOR LOWER BACK PAIN: The back arch done gently will relieve lower back pain. Hold the posture for 4-5 deep stomach breaths. As always be patient and gentle.

THE TAI CHI TIGER CLAW MOVEMENTS: The slow flowing arm movements done in rhythm with gentle stomach breathing mask its many ancient self defense equivalencies. And you feel as if your arms are floating. Note also the yielding one-legged balancing.
