This Tai Chi Short Form a Yang Style Tai Chi form consisting of 13 movements repeated in 5 directions. As well, it is a personal practice for understanding the essence of breathe, intention and balance. Once learned it can be performed in 10-12 minutes making it easy to incorporate into a busy life.

This program has several chapters to help you focus on different levels of learning. Effective learning comes through focusing and repetition. We encourage you to watch the entire program and enjoy practicing it over and over again to develop brain-muscle memory.

Muscle memory starts with a visual cue and is steadily acquired depending on your dedication to practice. Once muscle memory is created and retained, you have freed up the capacity to think about other aspects of the Tai Chi form and Chi flow.

Chapter One: Instructional. This chapter presents all the moves from start to finish.

Chapter Two: Details. This chapter provides unique close ups to show how specific moves are executed.

Chapter Three: Follow Along. After you are familiar, let Marie lead you through the entire form. We have a follow-along version with instruction, a follow-along with just music.

We also have a downloadable audio file with the instruction. Once you are familiar with the visual cues for each movement you can go out into nature to practice with this audio instruction as a guide!

Even though this program was produced a number of years ago we feel the content and the learn-ability of the instruction is one of the best Tai Chi programs out there. Please enjoy!
