INNER TAICHI

This was just what I needed to learn Tai Chi correctly at home! Gradual, very instructed, camera from various angles, repeats each pose for practice of the move, and gives the right information about how to/or not to do each pose. When better skilled and able to remember the poses, one can forward to the end of each frame to un-narrated exercises. An excellent warm-up/stretch is given before the Tai Chi sets, but you can skip it if you wish. The background is a private nature setting with a river bubbling by, but the music and background is not too loud. I was surprised how effective and strengthening the frames/moves are! Tai Chi is NOT a "Work out" to sweat and get the heart-rate pumping. Tai Chi is a graceful, fluid art, to stretch, improve circulation, flexibility, balance, and increase energy. Perfect for someone who wants to relieve stress, as it is very meditative. The frames/moves teach you how to relax and de-stress the shoulders, neck and chest. If you work at a desk, feel tight in the neck and shoulders, doing Tai Chi will help you relax and get circulation going. The frames/moves also tone & strengthen your core, sides, arms, legs, back, because you use your WHOLE BODY in the slow, controlled, graceful moves. Going slow is the Tai Chi way, which also improves your strength, because it WORKS MORE MUSCLES to move very slowly and with control. You will surely improve your other fitness workouts with practice of these frames that are designed to bring balance, strength/control, grace, energy, and peace.

The Video was very easy to follow and to understand the principles of Tai Chi .

I appreciate the speed at which I can progress through the series of lessons. The exercises are great for people with arthritis.

It may be slow for some but that is Tai Chi. Slow careful movements. The master is very patient and careful in teaching and gives time for students to pick up the methods. Not fancy. Does the job well of teaching beginners.

Balance, awesome.
