A TRUE SYNTHESIS,
By
This review is from: Acu-Yoga (Audio Cassette)
It is not unusual for teachers of various bodywork methods to incorporate something from other traditions. For instance, when I was taught the Eight Brocade Way (Ba Qua Jin), I was taught 9 postures. One of which was from Yoga. Later my teacher introduced some Western exercises to aid in working around physical problems.Michael Reed Gach has achieved a synthesis from two paths, Acupressure(Chinese health system based on the flow of energy (Chi) through channels and meridians) and Yoga postures including the connected idea of breath energy (Prana).He achieved this synthesis while taking classes in both areas at the same time and finding that no one else had drawn the same parllels between the two systems or had interest in doing so. He has specifically made these tapes to provide, through tone and pacing, instruction difficult to achieve only from reading. Each exercise topic is accessble separately e.g. breath, spinal stretching, chakras, channels, meridians. There is also a section, oraganized alphabetically, applying acu-yoga exercises to specific problems. The exercises are presented as a combination of postures and pressue points within the framework of the meridian system. The addition of the 5 types of yoga breathing and sometimes tone(chant) enhances the power of the exercises. The sucess of these methods can be attested to from the 20 yrs in-print of Micael Gach's book on acu-yoga. I personally can attest to the presentation on the tapes. The set I used had been missing the instruction book and I still able to follow the clear verbal program easily, only later refering to standard acupressure and yoga texts. I strongly recommend these tapes not only for their intrinsic value, but also for their providing a frame in which to incorporate other ideas.

I found the book a more valuable way to learn. It is more clear and easier to reference. The material in this cassette series is excellent.
