CHALLENGE YOURSELF!

Reach beyond your current conditioning.

Stand Like A Mountain Posture

Join our "Stand like a Mountain Club"

All welcome to participate.

Excellent objective self-test and method to set short-term and long-term conditioning goals.

Improve your Tai Chi training dramatically on the physical, mental, and spiritual planes.

Requirements:

  • Stand with your back against a wall, your legs at 90° knee flexion (it appears as if you are sitting on a chair), and arms in "Embracing the Tree" posture.
  • Gradually increase your time.
  • Be sure that your heels are sufficiently away from the wall to avoid unnecessary stress to your knee joints.
  • Your upper body must remain relaxed, with proper head suspension, and shoulders and elbows down. DO NOT force your head and shoulders back against the wall.

Five Levels:
  1) Mount Elbrus (minimum 2 minutes)
  2) Mount Kilimanjaro (minimum 5 minutes)
  3) Mount McKinley (minimum 10 minutes)
  4) Mount Aconcagua (minimum 15 minutes)
  5) Wu Tang Mountain (minimum 20 minutes)

Comments and questions welcome.
Email us details about your experience.
Good Luck!
