Tai chi is a slow, flowing movement practice, with upright posture, gradual weight shifts and calm breathing. The workbook also explains how tai chi differs from qigong: qigong uses simpler repeated movements and breathing exercises, while tai chi uses linked sequences.
Each movement is explained in the workbook with simple steps and reps.
All 8 movements linked together, about 10 minutes.
The workbook includes a 2-week starter plan and a practice tracker covering 2 weeks.
You practise standing on a clear, flat floor beside a sturdy chair, which stays within reach for support. Four of the movements also include a seated option. Wear flat, non-slip shoes, move slowly, take small steps, and stop and sit down if you feel dizzy, in pain or out of breath.
9 pages; two files (US Letter and A4); large print; for home printing.
