Review New Creation Tai Chi-Qigong has several features that make it unique among other videos in this genre. Certified teacher Anna York not only knows the art but also her audience of seniors and people with disabilities. She has an inside-out knowledge of how the classical Chinese practice can help heal very serious conditions, including multiple sclerosis, a disease she has had since the age of 19. In her book, entitled Rising UP!, she describes the story of coming to Tai Chi class with a severe disability and the path of her healing progress over a period of years as she gradually returns to an active life. Anna has experienced how important it is to have accessible exercise with expert instruction and compassionate guidance. She fills the bill on all counts. The classroom format of New Creation Tai Chi-Qigong is a powerful teaching approach, making the audience part of a group of real people, doing the exercises in real time. There is a feeling of encouragement, hope and creativity in doing the exercises along with other people who are adapting them to meet their own needs. While many videos and teachers claim their approach is accessible for those of all abilities, it is rare for those with disabilities to actually be participants in such a substantial portion of the instruction. New Creation Class members are active seniors, some of whom have MS, Parkinsons, arthritis and stroke. They convey their enthusiasm for the art and for sharing it with others. York understands from her own experience and from the many people she works with that healing involves the whole person, body, mind and spirit. Tai Chi and Qigong are most often taught from a Taoist or Eastern perspective that is good for many but foreign and uncomfortable for those who want to stay within their own philosophical and spiritual traditions. As an ordained Christian minister, Anna developed a way of integrating the classical Chinese movements and archetypal nature imagery with a Genesis creation story narrative that is uplifting for those of any faith. York is an inspiring teacher who offers an innovative approach for making these Chinese arts accessible to a much wider range of people who need their healing benefits. --Rising UP! Inc.
