Thanks!! So glad you enjoyed it!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for wonderful comment! I would love to create this video for you! I have learned so much since breaking my foot that I am sure I can some of that great information with you 🙂

​@@ladytaichiThank you, please let me know when you upload my request, it would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Thanks for pointing that out! You’re right, it is traditional Yang family Tai Chi. I use 'Yang style' because it's a term more people are familiar with. Appreciate the reminder!

Glad you think so! 😊

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful and it's great to hear you'll be returning to it often. Check out the video posted this weekend, which focuses on releasing the upper back and chest areas. Hope you keep enjoying the relaxation!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁

Thank you!!

Thanks!! Alignment helps to heal you're body. I'm glad you're finding it helpful!!

☺️

That's awesome to hear! I'm so glad the routine left you feeling good. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such a positive comment. Keep up the good vibes!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you loved the video. Sun Salutations are a fantastic way to start the day and build strength. Keep practicing, and you'll feel even more energized and strong each morning!

I'm really glad to hear that! I also struggle with chronic neck and jaw issues, and these techniques have been a lifesaver for me. It feels great to share what helps and know it’s making a difference for others too!

That's great! I hope you find them helpful. How did it go?

@@ladytaichi Feels a bit better. Singing job today at a funeral.

I'm so happy to hear that! Starting your day with a relaxing routine can make a big difference. I'm glad you found it helpful. Keep it up, and thank you for your kind words!

That's awesome to hear! Keep up the positive vibes and stay strong. Glad you're feeling the benefits!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you find the advice helpful. Your support means a lot!

@@ladytaichi I think you are warm and sweet ☺️

I was! I broke my foot but was finally cleared to start practicing Tai chi and Yoga again 🙌

@@ladytaichi Were you good on your crutches?

@wadehamlin yes, thankfully all of the Tai chi and yoga helps with balance and strength so it was really easy to use the crutches. That boot I was wearing weighed 5lbs tho and I was so excited to stop carrying it around with a bent knee!

Absolutely, you're right! 'Energy' and movement are continuous, and the dynamics change as we move and practice forms. But if we are holding a pose and working on alignment we want to make sure that we do not lock out the knees. Thanks for pointing that out and adding to the discussion!

@@ladytaichi When I teach Tai Chi, I find that people over-focus on some ideas and that I must point out that the routine does not stop - it flows

@dawiedarling absolutely! I am always reminding people to let go and find the flow. It is so important but alignment is important too so I try to find the balance between between in my classes.

Alignment definitely plays a crucial role in our body's health. The ideal position is having the outside edge of our shoes match the outside edge of our shoulders so that our footwork is positioned under our shoulders and hips, neither too wide nor too narrow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@@ladytaichi many old fashioned ideas persist

You make a great point, proper footwear is really important for getting the most out of these exercises. It's best to go for shoes with a flat sole and plenty of room for your toes to move. I prefer to wear skateboarding shoes because of the flat sole, extra support, and wide toe box so I can connect my whole foot to the ground. But everyone can benefit from checking in on their foot alignment. Looking at our favorite shoes is a great way to check on where the weight is in our feet so that we can try to have the weight centered no matter what shoes we are wearing!

I removed your last comment by accident but I agree, it is time to teach people about shoes! This will happen in a later video 😉

Hey, we all have those days! 😂 Remember, it's all part of the journey. Keep at it and be kind to yourself. You’ve got this!

Hi there! I’m sorry to hear the seating pose is causing you pain. You could include many variations but start by trying to sit on a block, pillow, or folded blanket to prop the hips up and support your back. You could sit with the legs extended out in front or include relaxing the spine and rounding the back on your inhales and then sit up tall when you exhale. Other options include sitting in a chair for the first few minutes or even starting lying down or in child's pose. Always listen to your body and do what feels best!

Yea, but the boot is off and that's progress! 😊Thank you for your concern. It’s tough, but I’m on the mend and staying positive. Your support means a lot to me!

Great joke! 😂 Thanks for the laugh and the well wishes. I'll definitely be taking it slow. Appreciate the support!

Thanks for reaching out. I’m still recovering from a broken foot, so I'm a bit limited on demonstrating movements right now. However, I’ve got plenty of videos up with detailed instructions. I hope that helps, and I’ll be back to showing movements as soon as I can!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to have you following my channel and to hear that you're enjoying the explanations. Your support means a lot, and I look forward to continuing this journey with you!

Yes!! All Tai Chi Principles of alignment and many of the 10 essentials can be included in our daily lives to help hela our bodies and achieve optimum health 😀

Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Hi Rosa, The next movement is Turn Body and Left Heel Kick. Here is the link to the video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcqRm7CT26eZiYE.html and here is a list of all of the movement in the traditional long form - www.ladytaichi.com/yang-tai-chi-103-form. Thanks for the comment! I am going to adjust all videos so that at the end of each session it will cue the next video in the series :)

Yes! Just like the long from this form has different names. This form is the 22 form or the Essential form :)

Fantastic! I'm so glad you found this helpful. Enjoy the practice!

Wow, thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you found the video helpful. Your appreciation means a lot to me!
