A calm place to begin

If Tai Chi feels unfamiliar, that is completely normal. Many people start with doubts about balance, coordination, or whether they are “doing it right.” This page is built to remove that pressure.

Tai Chi here is movement for living, not performance. There is no jumping, no fast transitions, and no floor work required. You can pause when needed, reduce range of motion, or stay seated for the full session.

The goal is simple: steady, practical movement you can use in real life, one calm step at a time.

Try 3 gentle practices (beginner-friendly)

Seated Tai Chi icon

Commencing Form (Fully Seated)

Best for: Settling your breath and posture at the start of practice.

Steps:
  1. Sit tall near the front of a sturdy chair with both feet grounded.
  2. Rest hands softly on thighs and let your shoulders drop.
  3. Inhale and float both hands forward to chest height.
  4. Exhale and lower hands slowly back to thighs.
  5. Repeat with easy rhythm and relaxed face.

Safety cue: Keep movement small and smooth. Pause if your breath feels strained.

Time suggestion: 1-3 minutes

Chair-supported Tai Chi icon

Brush Knee and Push (Chair-Supported)

Best for: Coordinating gentle weight shift with upper-body flow.

Steps:
  1. Stand beside a chair and rest one hand lightly on the backrest.
  2. Step one foot forward in a short, comfortable stance.
  3. Sweep your free hand across your front knee.
  4. Then press that hand forward at chest level, palm soft.
  5. Shift back and return to start with control.
  6. Repeat, then switch sides.

Safety cue: Keep your support hand in contact with the chair. Shorten the stance if balance feels uncertain.

Time suggestion: 2-3 minutes

Standing Tai Chi icon

Wave Hands Like Clouds (Standing)

Best for: Improving smooth side-to-side movement and relaxed coordination.

Steps:
  1. Stand with feet wider than hips and knees softly bent.
  2. Raise one hand to chest level and keep the other near your waist.
  3. Shift weight to one side while hands glide across your center.
  4. Change hand levels as you shift to the other side.
  5. Keep shoulders soft and breathing steady.
  6. Continue with slow, even pacing.

Safety cue: Avoid locking knees. Reduce your side step if you feel wobbly.

Time suggestion: 2-4 minutes

Frequently asked questions
