Tai Chi Home Exercises

Foundational Moves for Beginners

  • The Opening: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Raise and lower your arms gently, syncing with your breath.
  • Waving Hands in Clouds: Shift your weight side to side, moving hands as if parting clouds, fostering balance and fluidity.

Energizing Flow for Intermediates

  • Brush Knee Twist Step: Step forward into a lunge, twist your torso, and simulate 'brushing' your knee with your hands, alternating sides.
  • Parting the Wild Horse's Mane: Step into a wider stance, shifting weight as you move your arms in an arc, as if parting a horse's mane.

Grounding Sequences for Advanced Practitioners

  • Standing Like a Tree: Root yourself in one position, hands in front of the chest, and hold, focusing deeply on internal energy.
  • Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg: Balance on one leg, the other knee raised, with arms positioned as if you are a rooster, to enhance stability and focus.

Setting Up Your Space

  • Minimalism: Clear a small area to create a clutter-free zone that allows for unrestricted movement.
  • Atmosphere: Use soft lighting or candles to create a calming ambiance conducive to focus and relaxation.
