![Tai Chi for Beginners [Import]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71tcf6SWZ+L._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I find her instruction very easy to follow and so very in-depth! As a beginner, it really helped with co-ordination as she breaks the form’s demo into hands, feet followed by the whole pose including close-ups and different angles to help - all shot in a well-lit space. The basic guidelines commentary gives simple, helpful tips on how to hold all parts of your body during practice incl. a diagram relating to corresponding acupuncture points……made sense to see how it all connects. It includes a “Rear View Demo” of the entire sequence (in a garden) – essential for daily practice. See pics. of the DVD insert for content.Though I’m in class with an excellent teacher (24 Yang Style Tai Chi Forms - 1 x week for 11 weeks), this DVD fills gaps that can’t be covered in class. What helped me:• Sink shoulders & drop elbows, correct my stance, be mindful of posture (esp. knee & toe directions), distance between feet when apart, correct way to transition between poses incl. how to transfer weight• Shows common mistakes in posture and hand/leg positions – helps to become aware• Forms are divided into Sections for demo. and its translation into martial arts is also shown• A relaxed body and correct spine/ pelvis posture achieve max. energy flowInitially, I found Tai Chi hard to ‘get’ despite being in class due to hand-feet/ left-right co-ordination. DVDs have made it so much easier to learn, correct mistakes (in time!) and fun. I’ve gained way more confidence in just 4 weeks of daily practice!FYI - I watched several videos online as well as borrowed DVDs from my local library before investing in 3 DVDs – this one & her Tai Chi for Women [Import] and Tai Chi - 24 Forms DVD By Dr. Paul Lam****UPDATED!!!****. All have been worth it for my needs & practice.
