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. Riding with Chi 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:

• Patricia Norcia owns a dressage training facility in Connecticut and has taught breathing classes 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.
