Yesterday’s was my 100th day. I skipped a couple of days in the first 2 weeks and then made a rule that if I missed a day I had to start over. I never missed again. There were a few 24 hour periods when I crawled out of bed at 11 p.m. to do it and get back on track. I was surprised that the last 3 days were difficult to finish. That was an eye opener. There is a big change in my physical body, my emotions and my understanding and acceptance of myself. My food choices have improved greatly. Shingles are still here but they’ve eased. Yes, I am Drinking more water. Thank you. If you are thinking of trying this program, I encourage you to give yourself this gift of 100 Days of Tai Chi that will give back to you in ways that will that will surprise you. I’ve just completed Day 101. Best wishes to you.
I'm glad to have seen this as I am on my second day. With my other self improvement "things" I do, this has helped put me ease a lot. Especially now that I'm waiting on my university acceptance letter. I do physical training with dumbbells and that got my aggression up a bit so this is balance myself more so. I'm sure I'll stick out to a 100 days since I am very determined. May I ask how you went about this? Like did you use this video primarily or go to the other modules over time, maybe even jumping back and forth between them all. I ask because my current plan is to focus on 1 module for every 2 weeks.
Hi… thank you for your interest. Because I can easily get distracted, I chose to stay with this one video every day. That felt more honest because of my personal issues with commitment and not finishing things. If I bounced around to other videos/practices I’m pretty sure I would probably not have completed 100 days. In fact it never occurred to me to do that and I’m thankful for that! It sounds like you have a lot going on and maybe creating one constant routine for your schedule for 100 days would be beneficial. You know yourself and how you think and feel which will help you create what’s right for you.
I am 72 years old and recovering from cancer. I lost 45 pounds and I am so weak. This workout is just right for me. My wife and I just started today and hope to continue. Thank you so much!
@@davidzapf3383 Man what? That is terrible advice and seriously unhealthy. David should just follow what his doctors recommend he do. Science-based approaches will help him heal better than crazy urine talk.
How amazing to hear that you are healing from Cancer! I hope as the days go on, the exercises become easier . I will be praying to Jesus for your complete recovery and healing .
Oh my! Something I can actually do! I nearly cried when I couldn't follow some other "simple" tai chi videos for seniors. I am 84, used to be active but got sick a few years ago and stopped all activity....trying to find something I can do now to regain my strength and balance.. This was great---I even did the whole review. Thank you!
I hope you keep at it! I know how hard it is to get back into activity after being away for a few years. It can feel impossible! But this is such a good way to get yourself moving. I'm sure your body will thank you! :)
God bless you on your journey!! My grandpa just turned 91. He has the will but his body has broken down from decades of hard work. He worked till he was 80. Peace, good health, and longevity to you. 🙏
That’s exactly me! I couldn’t understand some of the other videos but this I followed easily plus like you I did the review. Do you know if it’s better to do this in the morning or evening? Thanks
I was initially skeptical but I’ve kept at it for 30 days so far, and at the risk of sounding melodramatic, it’s been life changing for me. It’s improved my attitude and outlook and helped me gain direction of my life again. Cannot thank you enough!
No leotard, no shrill voice, no pounding music. As I sat and watched it, I found myself breathing with her without even thinking about it. Thanks for this.
I stopped the video after watching only 52 seconds. Why? So I could post my thoughts and tell you this woman is amazing and gets it. Once I heard her say it's not important to move correctly but what's important is taking the time to practice daily, I was like right on lady. I turn 59 in July and still dance everyday to psychedelic trance music like a kid at an EDM festival. I even practice my own style of martial flow which is completely made up from watching years of kung fu movies and YT videos. Motion is lotion and you just gotta stay moving.
I just got out of hospital after having a heart attack. My doctor recommends I learn this chi for stress relief and to help me relax. I came very close to the end and very sad feelings about what happened to me. So I have watched your video and some others over the last week. I have done your lesson several mornings and must admit I do feel better. I will definitely keep it up daily. I promise. Thank you so much for giving me some healing.
Every day don't ever stop. If you miss a day trust yourself that you will get back to it the next day. I also suffer my whole life from sad feelings and Tai Chi really helps.
Died in the back of an ambulance after suffering a heart attack all day at work BACK IN 2016 made it home hour later ambulance arrived soon as they lay me down flat lined that was it my heart stop seen the light briefly 6 mins to be exact my life has never been the same ti chi mediation cold water therapy ti chi ties in with them all been learning for a year its change my mind thoughts behaviour one thing i have learned about dieing i have no fear of doing it again i live my life to the fullest bro and so should you to the level you can no fear big man CALM IS KING 💚
I have depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. I'm always thinking the worst and overthink everything I do. My aunt who's a physician sent me your video. I instantly relax and just follow the movements. Thanks for these videos and can't wait to form this into an evening habit. :)
I always recommend people with anxiety to do deep breathing, and develop a high level of concentration by clearing your mind, and having positive thoughts while you do any practice whether its Yoga Taichi or any other form of meditation, you feel better by the day..but taichi with the movements its awesome, I wish you well..
Perhaps you know but maybe not. There are large amounts of us that need your teachings. Please don't stop, unless you need to of course. We really do need your knowledge. Blessed be
HI.. my wife and I are in our 70.s. Her sister recommended this video to us today. We are going to start our journey tomorrow. Thank you, ... and your voice is so smooth and comforting.
Finally found the video where there's not alot of demonstration.. when you want to practice Tai Chi, you want to practice rather than listening alot of talking.. This class is much better than the others.. 11 minutes of practice,what I was looking for!
As an extremely anxious overthinker I must say that tai chi is my biggest hope to learn to control myself and after I watched that video and practiced I can say my hope is alive, impressed and motivated! Thank you! ✌🏻🧘🏻♀️🙏🏻
My god. This is far from being proper instruction. If you are a beginner then learn it properly, watch this one… ruclips.net/video/NsZaY-EMpiA/видео.html
Heart failure at 24. My disease actually destroys my heart when I do strenuous exercise... tai chi has been the perfect balance between calming my mind, moving my body in a way that is both challenging and not strenuous. Thank you!
@@ankushgatti4754 hey Ankush. Unfortunately I am quite debilitated and getting closer to needing a transplant. However, I have a new cardiologist who is more aggressive and wants to try to give me more time with amiodarone and ablation techniques! Hopefully that makes me stable so I can hold onto my original heart as long as possible! In the meantime, I'm still doing tai chi, yoga, and light walking to keep my strength and well being up.
So many are here because they want to learn how to water bend. But many are also here to reconnect with themselves and regain their energy. My heart goes to you all. I am here to learn so I may also learn to control the flow of my chi so I may one day remember my past lives. Only then can I truly help others to see.
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "learning powerful methods to build your Chi energy" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fellmeroni Rudimentary Chi - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Great video. I am 73 years of age with quite severe Fibromyalgia. I have started using this video as a warm up to my stretching program and before I walk on my treadmill. I go through the program twice. It gets me warm and relaxed for the hard work that comes next. Thank you.
Hey sorry you have Fibromyalgia that must be painful, i am sending you my thoughts and prayers. I hope your doing better these coming months, Janet. Love and blessings Bee.
I finally found someone who actually takes slow time to teach the moves specifically and I can follow! Thank you! I have put this off for 10 years! You give me hope...
I am 70yrs with a back injury and severe arthritis. At last I have found a way of gentle exercise and moving my joints that does not cause me pain. I am a total beginner so the level is perfect for me to follow. I feel so relaxed and yet invigorated. Now I actually look forward to 'being' in the moment every evening when its time for me to do the routine. I started with just the 5 minutes a day and now can manage 15 minutes out of my wheelchair. I LOVE IT THANK YOU from an ardent exercise hater.
Three months after starting, I'm down 20lbs and feel like I've reverse-aged 15 years! Thank you Taiflow! I started with your free modules here. 1-5 - first just five minutes Then on to 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes over the weeks. I find my balance and ease of natural movement is improved immensely!
At 73 years I "tried" a tai chi free class at a local community hall. Hooked me in instantly. Found Leia's Tai Chi modules that night and now at day 14. Already have changes - constant sinus mucus reduced 80%. Gas in abdomen reduced greatly. Thigh muscles strengthening and at the end of just module 1 (10 mins) my body feels like all of it has been moved around. Leia's statement of "not important you move correctly" resonated with me and after just 14 days of moving daily my body is now automatically fine tuning my tai chi movements. Leia ... Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and I look forward to working my way through all of your modules. Being a Kiwi in Australia the beautiful location on module 1 helps enormously too.
I used to lift weights in navy, did construction work...many surgeries, arthritis, alcohol, painkillers....just kind of discovered this stuff on my own kind of...went to beach started stretching my whole body with the wind. Wow!! I'm 42 and never even studied this...I see the martial arts/discipline/breathing...wow this stuff is SO GOOD for your body and soul! Arthritis gone!!! In just days!! (Ive been doing 30-60 min... sometimes 2 hrs!) to get back in shape..now less..5-20 min.. everything at home is easier!! I can move around with comfort and ease!! I am a spiritual warrior!! Wow!
I'm currently suffering with chronic lyme disease and the co-infections. This helps me more than I ever thought it would! My muscles feel less fatigued after and relaxed and when I'm focusing on it I don't realize how bad I currently feel. Thanks so much! Very excited to do this every single day!!
Thank you. My first day trying this only 99 more til harvest. I have never enjoyed excercise more than i have doing this. I am 86, battling cancer, did nothing for months but watch the boob tube. Until i saw this and was drawn to it. I will do this every day. I feel better already. I lost all energy. I had no desire to do anything, or go anywhere. This makes me feel like i am a bird flying,softly gently gliding through the air, and at the beach with the tide coming in and going out. I love it. Thank you so much. You have lifted my spirits.
I am 62 with severe OA and RA (I am scheduled for my 3rd hip replacement in a month because my bones keep disintegrating), fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I started practicing with you a week ago and found I could do all the movement in spite of a hip almost immobilized due to bone loss, shoulders bound up w/arthritis and knees that have no cartilage left. This FEELS SO GOOD!! I can't believe how (relatively) painless it is and how invigorated I feel afterward. I do this when I take a break from working (I am writing a book based on twenty years of my research) and have found it clears my head and I'm able to go back to work refreshed and without that dull head ache that comes everyday about 2pm. It is a joy to watch you and follow along. Thank you.
I had been searching RUclips for beginner’s Tai Chi and had been unsuccessful in my quest to find anything reasonable, until I Googled this and it brought me directly here. This video is a fantastic introduction to Tai Chi! I had taken a Harvard University online TaiChi course and they showed some basic moves, but never tied them together leaving me disappointed and feeling robbed. This instructor demonstrates the moves slowly and has a soothing and factual voice, leaving me with the feeling that I am being taught by someone who has good command of Tai Chi. Thank you for this channel.
Another self isolated here with heart, lung and chronic pain issues. Just found this video after watching the Try Guys video on trying Thai Chi. I have started my journey with you. Thank you!!!
I am 62 and a beginner with various back and joint issues. This was enjoyable to watch and easy to follow. I will use this video everyday, Many Thanks.
I am so grateful for this teaching. I took a Tai Chi Class nearly 30 years ago and LOVED it. I've been searching for local classes. What a delight to find a way to learn and practice at home. I just did the first 5 minute exercise and found myself smiling a lot and feeling peaceful and happy. I feel calm and quiet. What a lovely practice. Thank you so much. I will continue to practice, thanks to your easy beginner video that got me started!
It is March 22, 2020, and I am in self-isolation (with the only exception being work) due to COVID-19. I am so glad I found your channel. Just following this simple tutorial has brought me such a sense of well- being. I have just subscribed to your - honestly - spirit-saving channel. Thank you!
Zentierra Hi I did this video yesterday and also then I tried the video called Qigong for beginners. It was sooo fun and some of the moves make you laugh! I recommend you try that as well. Afterwards you’ll feel calm and relaxed 😌
youtuber without ads on his video=someone with good heart and someone who cares about orthers not about money. this type of youtubers are one of the best youtubers👍 P.S. tai chi helps u to control your ki energy (life force) so u can use it for very useful things like healing (yourself and orther peoples) and a lot more things u can do so i approve this for all who wants to use his energy for good things and not for money.
Yes but I do hope that people will make their way over to my website www.taiflow.com and sign up for my online classes! I need to make money somehow right?
It's not *ki* - that's Japanese - it's *chi* Mandarin Chinese & this isn't Tai Chi; it is a sad demonstration of an incoherent woman who can hardly form words, let alone demonstrate the most basic form - for the sake of sincerity 太极拳; ruclips.net/video/R2Hft14XYn8/видео.html
I was a newly certified yoga teacher when blindsided by a 6-month ailment preventing yoga practice. These Tai Chi movements + walking are the perfect first steps (mentally and physically) for FINALLY getting back to my mat post-surgery!. Namaste
I have been doing calisthenics for four years and I can tell you Tai Chi is one of the best workouts and can get you far ahead of people who start gym before basic workouts. Within first few weeks of it you will have strengthened the body enough to start basic calisthenics like half way push ups and half way squats. TaiChi is great muscle training for all age ranges.
For all the technical commentators - please understand that people entirely new to soft martial arts cannot possibly absorb their foundational philosophies, strategies and methodologies as they are way too complex. This video is aimed for lay people, the elderly, the mildly distressed etc to follow and absorb. The demonstration here is a superlative example of deep knowledge translated for easy absorption by the uninitiated casual user and has the potential to produce almost 'instant' - within one week - benefit. Once initiated, the participant can advance on to the more elaborate and technically sophisticated forms. Taiflow - kudos to you in Spades! Please keep it up and thank you!
No. As Yang Luchan said to Yang Banhou, "Can this be t'ai chi?" T'ai chi ch'uan (taijiquan) doesn't feature independent movement of the arms, such as that depicted in the push in the videoclip.
Asa Imma Nice try at providing an excuse, but no, that's still wrong. Moving incorrectly isn't the same as giving layered explanations. Instead, moving incorrectly is only moving incorrectly. And the effect of modeling incorrect movement--while claiming that it's taijiquan--is to propagate incorrect movement in those who believe the demonstration because they don't know any better. In other words, it's fraud.
Dude, I think you need to do some meditation on why you're being so nit-picky and upset about this. Fraud? That's just silly. First, she's not selling anything. Second, she is not advertising this as perfect forms. This is for beginners just engaging with these sorts of movements. And it is helping many people, as you can read in many of the comments on here. How is that a bad thing?
Unlike most people here cracking jokes about it I actually appreciate this for what it is. I have a back problem which affects my legs and makes it difficult for me to get even basic exercise. This helps me a lot because it's not too strenuous. i even have trouble walking so my blood pressure is too high. my dr says i need some exercise but got to be careful not to worsen the damage. Than you!
It’s funny that there are people who spring up on serious videos like this, and start making sarcastic comments, unrelated to the subject. They must be living desperate lives. They should watch this with seriousness, as this could actually help them, physically and mentally. Good luck you pathetic little trolls hiding behind your keyboards.
I’m with you, I am a retired ambulance officer (paramedic), with a back injury and the best exercises are yoga 🧘♀️ and Tai Chi. Keep up your Tai Chi exercises and best wishes for a healthy future.
Over the past few years I've gone through a lot with my mental health, and I tried all sorts of things to try to help regulate my nervous system. I did yoga for a couple years, but it didn't help much with my anxiety or chronic pain, and eventually my perfectionism turned it into an unhealthy practice for me, so I knew I had to try something else. I knew basically nothing about tai chi, and from appearances, I didn't think it'd help my pain to do such little movements, but I gave it a shot. After my first 5 minutes, my shoulders had softened, my spine moved more freely, my ears popped, my jaw relaxed, and I felt calmer than I had in months. I've been doing it daily for around a month now, and it hasn't failed me. I've been able to make more progress in my mind and body, and I'm beyond thrilled that I found these videos.
Master Leia, I'm going to speak for all your students of Tai Chi, - thank you so much for these instructional videos. I'm not really flexible nor have I ever liked to do any particular sporting activity, so I was a little bit afraid I couldn't keep up, but I was surprised to find out these basic movements are pretty simple and elegant to do. I know that if I practise regularly, I'll eventually get much better, and maybe I'll be able to learn how to defend myself if needed. But, honestly, I think that Tai Chi is so much more than "just" a fighting combat technique. My Reiki always starts to flow when practising Tai Chi and it just makes me so happy! Although, I'm not doing it even nearly as flawlessly and elegantly, as you are, I can feel my body getting stronger and more flexible each time I practise with you. Thank you, Master, be blessed!
Loving this... I've been doing a little less than 3 weeks & my balance is so much better. I do it before I go to bed sometimes I'm tired I forget & get in bed then remember I haven't done my Tai Chi. I get up straight away to do my Tai Chi it so relaxing. Tgere is such a lovely peaceful energy with it... Thank you so much. ❤🎉🌹
DAY 5 MAKING MY WAY TO 100...5 MINS A DAY WILL GIVE YOU THE WAY. I PRAY FOR SUCCESS. CANCER THERAPY HAS A TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECT. FATIGUE! I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING. BUT TAI CHI DRAWS ME TO DO IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
The universe played itself out and brought me here. What a great teacher for a novice like myself! Thank you! I feel better just being here. Time well spent. (Zen proverb: Let go or be dragged.) Be well everyone.
Had to miss a day due to severe eye problems. Did day 17 today friday march 3. Still battling cancer. But not discouraged. Tai Chi meditation keeps me i touch with rewarding prayer life. I saw your message when you went to China. I am interested in your upcoming classes. Thank you for teaching Tai Chi.
After doing this practice for 10 minutes, I literally felt such intense energy surging through my body, it gave me goosebumps everywhere. What a rush! I've practiced Qi gong in the past and have forgotten what a great connection it makes to mind, body and breath. I totally felt the release of Qi all throughout my body. Love it!
I’m so frustrated, when I read comments like this, you are watching the wrong video my friend. Try doing it right from the get go by a master, where the moves are explained properly… ruclips.net/video/NsZaY-EMpiA/видео.html You should always Lear how to start and warm up first ok. Explained moves are extremely important.
That's why I'm getting into it too. I've managed to cultivate a good meditation habit but I struggle sometimes with getting myself to stay still, not think or-my favorite-not get some insidious itch every time I try to relax. I know meditation through movement is a thing so I'm giving it a shot in the hopes that it'll help with anxious days.
It is meditation indeed. As you gather greater control of your breath and your body relaxes to an ever deeper degree, our minds become crystal clear and highly focused. Tai Chi Ch'uan and Chi-kung are dynamic forms of meditation and work even better when joined to seated, static meditation. I do both every day, I will never stop these beautiful practices. The rewards are endless. Good luck!
It's my second day and i'm feeling much better after the exercises. I'm struggling with depression for two years and nothing had ever made me feel good until I met Tai-Chi. So thank you :)
I found this several months ago. To me, It's totally satisfactory - her voice, the view (!!!), the motions and I actually like the music. Thanks for everything.
I'm on lockdown just outside Wayne County, one of the COVID-19 hotspots. I haven't done Tai Chi in almost 10 years. I registered for an online Tai Chi class this morning through our local community college and through tech snafus missed it by 5 minutes. It was such a bummer cause I had to twist my own arm to get there!! I gave myself a pep talk and did some searching, and wound up here. Thank you to the Taiflow Channel. You're a healer in these troubled times.
I have watched and learned from many masters. But this wonderful woman I have found to be the very best! Just found her channel also. I was never taught the breathing very well. She goes slowly. Which helps alot! Be well!
Thank you, I always come back to find you. My mother taught tai chi, and her name is Flo. And you remind me of her when she was younger. Thank you. Love.
I’m here because tho I may not need this extra bit of exercise, I’ve decided that I do need some. I’m active-ish but never really exercise and I’m pretty weak. Now, I stayed up a bit later than I usually do and did a few simple exercises. They weren’t much but since I’m not used to it, it was hard. However, every morning I’ll get up and do more. If I have free time I’ll try this! I’ll keep it as something if I want an extra challenge! Thank you so much for this and remember, you don’t have to wait to exercise till you absolutely need it because, to be honest, you always absolutely need it! I wish the best of luck to anyone out there who decided to care for themselves a little more and to anyone who’s been doing this forever! I wish everyone the best of luck! :)
My local Tai Chi class has been suspended for now because of the coronavirus. Because of videos like this, I can keep at it while I'm waiting for my class to start up again. Thanks!
Have come to know about Tai chi from a number of people and getting benefitted thereafter. Having thought of, I started to watch a video for the beginners. Having coming across those inspirational comments, I have just began with mine. Hoping to get benefitted with time.
I'm 68 with back and knee problems and started this about two weeks ago. The comments are what really convinced me that this is the video to use. It's very easy and enjoyable.
It's March 28, 2020 and I am in isolation because the corona virus.I like Tai Chi and when found your class I just following that. I live in Brazil/South América. Thank you
I did Tai Chi years ago and unfortunately gave it up. Every now and then I have looked on youtube for an easy way back into it. This video is the most helpful I have found so far, and really got me back into the right style with the flow of energy within a few minutes. I know that, even if I were to do no more than the few moves in this short video, there would be great benefits.
Nearly 70 and feeling very positive after 2 days using this video , going to commit to keeping it up for 100 days because of the comments at the start of the video
I am with you Terry on the 100 day Commitment - I used to teach Qi Gong integrated with Meditation Classes - it is like Coming hOMe - I am so GRATEFUL for this video (and others with Tai Chi as well.) Wishing you Health, Balance, and Flow of all that is Good in Universe
I just did my first session and I ended up twisting it to my own. I blocked out all thought and just focused on breathing and relaxation and I began to cry when I was done. This is the best I’ve felt in years. Day 1 done… many more to go! 😊
@@Taiflow I’m going too, I NEED too…. For to long I let myself wander while trying to figure it out. Peace was what I was missing. I’m holding myself accountable from here on out. This journey is a true form of true excitement in my life for once…
My healthcare provider suggested I either do yoga or tai chi to help with my stress, depression, and low appetite so here I am. Started today and hope to continue doing videos like this for at least 100 days. Gonna keep a tracker in my journal to try to keep up with it since I have trouble staying motivated for long projects. Best of luck to everyone else doing this, too!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It is not overwhelming with lots of complex moves right from the start and I am looking forward to exploring your longer videos and expanding my abilities.
First time trying Tai Chi. My stress and anxiety seemed to vanish immediately! I am a believer in what you do. My goal is to watch and participate daily. Thanks so much for sharing your time and passion with us.
Thank you so much for putting up this post. My husband and I are both in our seventies and I have a chronic lung disease, but we're both finding these simple exercises amazingly helpful and look forward to doing them every morning. You have done a lovely and unselfish thing in reaching out to others. Thank you.
Practice the module 01 and 01b and also the Qigong for Stress and anxiety - Dr. Libby's getting into the green zone. You might be able to do module 02 but after that the level jumps and it might get too hard for you.
This is the exercise that I have been doing in my home as a thinking that I am a waterbender for meditation. And now I learned new that this is called Tai Chi 😂😂🌊
@@richardrash4586 it isn’t RUclips it’s me lol I have to create the content to put on RUclips. I have been working on my memoir and soon I will publish it. Did you see the Shibashi video I put out recently! Tai Chi Qigong 18 step it is lovely
I had a friend who took traditional tai chi in a reputed school in the (very large) city I lived in a while back. She often commented that the sifu was abrupt and critical - he always found fault with something and would get angry and somewhat verbally abusive. This turned me off from trying as all I was looking for was smooth, relaxing movements. I checked lots of videos on RUclips but they were very technical and detailed and I needed to learn a whole new vocabulary in a language I had no interest in learning. This video is exactly what I've been looking for, so thank you for giving your time to the rest of us who only want peace and relaxation. Maybe one day I'll want to achieve perfect form and I'll be willing to spend 37 years on that, but it's not today :)
Release yourself from the outcome and join my Traditional Tai Chi Basics program and you will see that learning Tai Chi can also be rewarding and pleasurable. That how I teach and that's my promise.
I can't workout for 30 days post-surgery so I am glad I have found a way to move my body without straining myself.I felt super warm at the start but now I feel good and super relaxed. Thank you!
Tai Chi day 6 with you. Counting to 100 days. I am enjoying Tai Chi. Thank you for helping me to have energy again. Tai Chi helps me to feel good, feel happy.
I have been suffering from rheumatic fever for 5 years and the doctor told me to practice taichi. Like i get a lot less pain when i do this. This has helped me a lot. Thankyou so much. I don't do this for a while, so l started doing it again when the pain came back. It seemed to help tremendously in reducing the pain.
Thank you so much for this. After years of Pilates and yoga, I just could not get back into the daily exercise after breaking ankle altering rotator cuff. This simple graceful movements have actually got me moving every single day. I’m extremely grateful🙏🙏🙏
This was my first Taiji practice. I am so grateful for it. Did the review twice and felt that slow does not mean easy. Thank you so much for this video, this amazing nature and your kind guidance.
This video is always my go to when my anxiety reaches uncomfortable levels, and always brings me back to my body in a calming way. Thank you Leia for this gift.
Finally, a form of exercise/movement that may be doable with my chronic pain. Doesn't have to be outdoors either, so if I need to stop and rest at any time, I can. Tried a few of the exercises, and I felt calmer as well (stress tends to worsen my symptoms). Probably won't become a daily ritual for me tbh, but definitely worth having in my "arsenal" of 'spoonie' coping mechanisms.
Thank you for these videos. I'm recovering from triple bypass surgery and obviously cannot get to any in person classes. These are exactly the right pace to help me regain my strength and your voice, music and settings are so so so calming! I love these!
Thank you! I started today and already feel a change after 5 minutes. I had surgery on both shoulders in the past 6 months and this will become a daily routine for me as well as progression of this amazing art in my life
Hi Taiflow! I'm currently on my death bed and your video brought me alive, i was doing tai cho in my surgery and it helped me be alive once again. I suffer from heart attacks every three days, cancer, lyme dieases, a chronic dieases, and ur video madde me find the cure for cancer. I am curentl 113 years old and running and doing tai chi.
Just got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I remembered doing Tai chi when I was at a health clinic, getting up early to walk to the lake side to quietly practice tai chi. It was such a great start to my day, I’m not sure why I stopped. I remembered it out of the blue though as I’ve once again been having issues with both my physical and mental health. Hopefully getting back into the habit of doing tai chi will help.
Beautifully executed Tai Chi exercises, leia is obviously a very good Tai Chi practicioner. I have been practicing Tai Chi for 37 years and would definitely recommend this practice if you are unable to attend a Tai Chi class.
Yes Leia is not saying that she was performing Tai Chi, but is showing people some Tai Chi like principles. Having taught a lot of 70-86 year old people the Tai Chi Form I have come to realise that it is not something everyone will be able to do. Especially when starting out later on in life. Therefore these beautiful exercises are just perfect for those and others in the position of not going to be able to go to a class.
san5324 sorry but I am not the sort of person who is usually replying to people who are looking for conflict as my time is best spent helping others who need relaxation, both young and old. Leia I think is also from this mold I think so well done her. Please try and find some time to do this yourself and you will see the benefits you can get from service. Wishing you well San but can no longer reply as I have Tai Chi classes to teach.
San I lived in China for 2 years at a traditional martial arts school where I practiced with my children 8 hours a day 6 days a week and we home-schooled in our free time. I may not have been there for 8 years but I believe it was long enough to learn and understand the meaning behind a traditional Tai Chi practice. Initially posting these videos, I was afraid to be judged by my compatriots who I trained at the school, some of them were there for 5-8 years but as Marcus said it is more important to share this with people who aren't able to go train in China or aren't able to make classes or simply aren't at that point and first need to dip their feet and see if it is something they might want to investigate deeper. This style is called Taijifit and I learned it from David Dorian Ross who has been a Tai Chi practioner for over 40 years and he was even on American TV. He uses the traditional Tai Chi as a base but adapts it so that people who have never done these kinds of movements can get into a flow state. Our world is sitting too much!!! Lets all get up and move, share the love and get into a flow state together. What a wonderful idea!
You are funny, maybe it is because I told you that you are behaving like my ex husband? How can I scam people out of money if the videos are free? This is what I love to do, I go to beautiful places with my camera man, sometimes by myself and I film videos that help people get up a move. I would love for people to come join my traditional Tai Chi class but first I have to get them moving and then I can book them in to learn the Wudang Tai Chi 28 form. Until then no money has been exchanged! As for Taijifit I am a part of that community and I have seen obese women lose weight, elderly women with hip problems find their flexibility and it is a wonderful community of people who are getting fitter everyday. Stop being so grumpy San and do something more positive for 5 minutes and I promise you will feel better.
This is really really beautiful. I've attracted towards Taoism philosophy for this past year and then i really thought that tai chi is the best way physically to practice it. Very attractive.
Thank you. I've been trying to do this 5 days a week for the past year. I have mostly succeeded and I can definitely feel the difference in my level of strength when I don't do it. Much appreciated. 🙏
I'm on an acid microdose and I'm nearly in tears, idk why. This is so beautiful. I'm bout to go skateboarding, afterwards ill go to the forest and try tai chi. I'll try putting these visualisations in my skateboarding flow. Thank you so much.
@@jaronloar1762 It's crazy how that was the last time I took a micro dose until yesterday night. I did some Journaling, put on some solfeggio frequencies, took a triangle and went to bed. Had the craziest "dream" and woke up to this comment of yours. "hope you had a nice trip".. Incredible :D
@@afakayu5176 You're welcome! :) And wow! That's insane! The patterns of the universe lined up for us! I feel like I've been able to tap into those patterns more and more the more I have been getting into Taoism. Interesting! But oh cool! I hadn't heard of solfeggio frequencies until your comment, and they seem fascinating! If I may, do you have a specific video you go to for to listen to the frequencies? :) I've also been wanting to get into journaling too! My idea was to make a bullet point list every day of things that happened in the day and things that I think are going to happen in the future! Then I can look back and see if my predictions were accurate! :D
@@afakayu5176 Hey! Sorry for the late reply, but yea that is really cool! I wonder if it is almost like the law of attraction type thing you were talking about but in a different way? :) But ah yes, I am very new to Taoism, but also feel like the philosophies of Zen are very fascinating and would love to practice them! But wow! Thank you for all these links! I will be sure to check them all out! :D This is very fascinating! And I tried listening to some solfeggio frequencies, and it's crazy how relaxing they are. It's like you are in a different state of mind! :O And I will definitely check out all of those things you reccommended and have to let you know what I think of them! I've been looking to get back into reading lately too, so a book would be great, expecially one on something interesting like that! :) Awesome prayer too! I feel like it's a very calming one, and when you are calm you make better decisions a lot of times! So it could almost be like a mantra as well! :D But oh sweet! Yea, I've been keeping a thankful journal of at least one thing every day since November 19th of last year! :) Sometimes it's hard to think of things, but ironically it helps me keep a good timeframe of important things that happened in my life. But I would love to dive into a written journal a lot more as well! Even if the things I write now aren't as interesting, I'm sure they will be a lot more interesting in the future when I read them again! :) But thank you again for the info! I'll definitely get back to you on what I think of all of this stuff! Thanks! :)
Thanks so very much for this wonderful video. I have severe upper back and shoulder pain as a result of a mastectomy and damage from radiation. This is the first time I’ve been able to exercise without triggering more pain. Hopefully a way to reclaim the life I once had!❤️
This is one of my favorites. I started taking Tai chi about 3 years ago and I look forward to my classes. It helps with structure, balance, strength among other things in my everyday life. Thank you for this video.
it’s amazing to me, i can’t help but recommend it to everyone especially if/when i hear them complain about this or that pain. Just the doing the simplest beginner move’s seemed to relax & center’ me🤭 i luv it, even more than yoga 🧘🏻
I am recovering, hopefully, from a 14 month bout with shingles. My doctor told me there is no cure and that I would just have to wait it out and rest. Although I feel better the shingles continue. 29 days of this tai chi has helped me more than I can even express. I have more energy and I’m able to think about something besides shingles. My body alignment and posture have greatly improved. My attitude is much more positive and I’ve begun my art practice again. I am so grateful.
I am suffering with recurrent shingles as well. I will start liquid olive leaf tomorrow which is a free radical scavenger. I'm willing to try anything. Definitely being dehydrated is a trigger for me.
@@littlebird6068 start by drinking two liters of water a day get a bottle that you can meausre our water and I would recommend removing all wheat and gluten while you are in a flair up.
Made it to Day 100! So thankful I found this easy to get into routine. My mornings feel so much more centered and grounded. I will not be stopping here either! On to 100 Days of Module #2! Thanks so much Sifu Taiflow!
I've been inspired to learn 'Tai Chi' in this life and at long last, I am here. Your video has been the introduction I have been looking for. I thank you greatly. I have included your instruction into my Mantra, that it will take 100 days and the movement is not important, whereas the daily practice is important. For a long time I was becoming aware that the movement was instructed from within me, and that I would know what to do. Thank you again for your teaching. Namaste
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I am a very active 79 year old who is benefiting so much from slowing down & enjoying tai chi. I LOVE IT!!! You are a wonderful teacher. Going to do your next video when I have memorized this one.
I'm 66 and am recovering from a minor stroke/TIA. I have been pretty sedentary for a year or so and am now feeling as if I need to do something...and then I discovered your Module 1. I used to practice yoga years ago, but thought it just didn't fit with who I am today, but your charming video has come to my rescue. It's been almost 3 weeks now that I have been moving with you in Module 1, and by the way I love the music :) I think I may need some more time before I move on to Module 2, but I would like to thank you for being my wee inspiration to get myself back into motion. I also find your demeanour and voice to be very soothing for the soul. Many, many thanks to you.
I have dome Module 1 for a month now and am ready to move on to Mod 2 next week. Am I supposed to do my mod 1 movements and then Mod 2 also, or just forget Mod 1 and only do Mod 2? I feel I should do both :)
As you progress through the modules you will find that I often repeat Module one at the beginning of the various modules. You can continue to move forward and eventually it will come up again.
and yes you should always start with module one so if it isn't in the module you want to practice then do it first. If it is then just do it with the other module. I don't remember anymore exactly which ones have it and which don't. You can let me know as you go along.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. Yes it goes both ways with the music. I am so pleased that I have inspired you to get up and move. Don't be afraid to start the next module just remember to release yourself from the final result and just follow me. The more you advance the more coordination you will require which is exactly what you need. If it is too hard then go back a module for a bit but don't be afraid to move on. I got your back you will be fine. Just keep practicing everyday even for only 5 minutes. If some days you feel stronger then you can practice some more.
Yesterday’s was my 100th day. I skipped a couple of days in the first 2 weeks and then made a rule that if I missed a day I had to start over. I never missed again. There were a few 24 hour periods when I crawled out of bed at 11 p.m. to do it and get back on track. I was surprised that the last 3 days were difficult to finish. That was an eye opener.
There is a big change in my physical body, my emotions and my understanding and acceptance of myself. My food choices have improved greatly. Shingles are still here but they’ve eased. Yes, I am Drinking more water. Thank you.
If you are thinking of trying this program, I encourage you to give yourself this gift of 100 Days of Tai Chi that will give back to you in ways that will that will surprise you. I’ve just completed Day 101. Best wishes to you.
Set a new goal and don’t stop. There is so much magic in the daily practice. I celebrate with you day 101. 🥳
I'm glad to have seen this as I am on my second day. With my other self improvement "things" I do, this has helped put me ease a lot. Especially now that I'm waiting on my university acceptance letter. I do physical training with dumbbells and that got my aggression up a bit so this is balance myself more so. I'm sure I'll stick out to a 100 days since I am very determined.
May I ask how you went about this? Like did you use this video primarily or go to the other modules over time, maybe even jumping back and forth between them all. I ask because my current plan is to focus on 1 module for every 2 weeks.
Hi… thank you for your interest. Because I can easily get distracted, I chose to stay with this one video every day. That felt more honest because of my personal issues with commitment and not finishing things. If I bounced around to other videos/practices I’m pretty sure I would probably not have completed 100 days. In fact it never occurred to me to do that and I’m thankful for that!
It sounds like you have a lot going on and maybe creating one constant routine for your schedule for 100 days would be beneficial. You know yourself and how you think and feel which will help you create what’s right for you.

Hi Guys I am exactly in this situation too. Loving her VDOs, so calming and relaxing. We must just keep on keeping on and cherish each day.
Oh my! Something I can actually do! I nearly cried when I couldn't follow some other "simple" tai chi videos for seniors. I am 84, used to be active but got sick a few years ago and stopped all activity....trying to find something I can do now to regain my strength and balance.. This was great---I even did the whole review. Thank you!
I hope you keep at it! I know how hard it is to get back into activity after being away for a few years. It can feel impossible! But this is such a good way to get yourself moving. I'm sure your body will thank you! :)
God bless you on your journey!! My grandpa just turned 91. He has the will but his body has broken down from decades of hard work. He worked till he was 80. Peace, good health, and longevity to you. 🙏
That’s exactly me! I couldn’t understand some of the other videos but this I followed easily plus like you I did the review. Do you know if it’s better to do this in the morning or evening? Thanks
Love ans respect from India. Best wishes on your Journey.
@@sathyasadhana9444 Thank you very much. I love hearing from friends in India. I send you some Christmas joy from snowy New Mexico.
I was initially skeptical but I’ve kept at it for 30 days so far, and at the risk of sounding melodramatic, it’s been life changing for me. It’s improved my attitude and outlook and helped me gain direction of my life again. Cannot thank you enough!
Keep going don’t ever stop it is a lifetime practice. There is more transformation waiting for you.
Very interesting i will practice because i love doing this exercise. Please do help me thanks a lot.

No leotard, no shrill voice, no pounding music. As I sat and watched it, I found myself breathing with her without even thinking about it. Thanks for this.
Now don't sit and watch, GET UP AND FOLLOW!
Exactly!
But still “music,” which I could do without…
The music is definitely too loud, but like this
@@WanderingBobAK Great video but agree, the music doesn't fit!
I stopped the video after watching only 52 seconds. Why? So I could post my thoughts and tell you this woman is amazing and gets it. Once I heard her say it's not important to move correctly but what's important is taking the time to practice daily, I was like right on lady. I turn 59 in July and still dance everyday to psychedelic trance music like a kid at an EDM festival. I even practice my own style of martial flow which is completely made up from watching years of kung fu movies and YT videos. Motion is lotion and you just gotta stay moving.
I just got out of hospital after having a heart attack. My doctor recommends I learn this chi for stress relief and to help me relax. I came very close to the end and very sad feelings about what happened to me. So I have watched your video and some others over the last week. I have done your lesson several mornings and must admit I do feel better. I will definitely keep it up daily. I promise. Thank you so much for giving me some healing.
Every day don't ever stop. If you miss a day trust yourself that you will get back to it the next day. I also suffer my whole life from sad feelings and Tai Chi really helps.
From a paramedic standpoint, you are doing it right, tai chi is wonderful for people with heart condition.
Well done you! Wishing u well in your tai chi practice and improving your health, very inspiring
Died in the back of an ambulance after suffering a heart attack all day at work BACK IN 2016 made it home hour later ambulance arrived soon as they lay me down flat lined that was it my heart stop seen the light briefly 6 mins to be exact my life has never been the same ti chi mediation cold water therapy ti chi ties in with them all been learning for a year its change my mind thoughts behaviour one thing i have learned about dieing i have no fear of doing it again i live my life to the fullest bro and so should you to the level you can no fear big man CALM IS KING 💚
God bless you
I have depression, anxiety, and panic disorder. I'm always thinking the worst and overthink everything I do. My aunt who's a physician sent me your video. I instantly relax and just follow the movements. Thanks for these videos and can't wait to form this into an evening habit. :)
how are you now?
I’m glad you are getting better, deep breathing and forget about everything else?
I always recommend people with anxiety to do deep breathing, and develop a high level of concentration by clearing your mind, and having positive thoughts while you do any practice whether its Yoga
Taichi or any other form of meditation, you feel better by the day..but taichi with the movements its awesome, I wish you well..
Exactly what i have been going through from past 5 years.Overthinking fear,anxiety,emotional breakdown.
@@pbaabreo8421 I’m great! Evening habit, definitely relaxing, less anxiety, better sleep. It’s amazing.

HI.. my wife and I are in our 70.s. Her sister recommended this video to us today. We are going to start our journey tomorrow. Thank you, ... and your voice is so smooth and comforting.
Finally found the video where there's not alot of demonstration.. when you want to practice Tai Chi, you want to practice rather than listening alot of talking.. This class is much better than the others.. 11 minutes of practice,what I was looking for!
I’m 71, just started tai chi. I’m so uncoordinated this is the best one for me to follow.
As an extremely anxious overthinker I must say that tai chi is my biggest hope to learn to control myself and after I watched that video and practiced I can say my hope is alive, impressed and motivated! Thank you! ✌🏻🧘🏻♀️🙏🏻

Then on to 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes over the weeks.
I find my balance and ease of natural movement is improved immensely!
Cool !
At 73 years I "tried" a tai chi free class at a local community hall. Hooked me in instantly. Found Leia's Tai Chi modules that night and now at day 14. Already have changes - constant sinus mucus reduced 80%. Gas in abdomen reduced greatly. Thigh muscles strengthening and at the end of just module 1 (10 mins) my body feels like all of it has been moved around. Leia's statement of "not important you move correctly" resonated with me and after just 14 days of moving daily my body is now automatically fine tuning my tai chi movements. Leia ... Thank you so much for this wonderful gift and I look forward to working my way through all of your modules. Being a Kiwi in Australia the beautiful location on module 1 helps enormously too.
I used to lift weights in navy, did construction work...many surgeries, arthritis, alcohol, painkillers....just kind of discovered this stuff on my own kind of...went to beach started stretching my whole body with the wind. Wow!!
I'm 42 and never even studied this...I see the martial arts/discipline/breathing...wow this stuff is SO GOOD for your body and soul! Arthritis gone!!! In just days!! (Ive been doing 30-60 min... sometimes 2 hrs!) to get back in shape..now less..5-20 min.. everything at home is easier!! I can move around with comfort and ease!! I am a spiritual warrior!! Wow!

@@kavitarao2942 great! I hope she loves it.
I am 62 with severe OA and RA (I am scheduled for my 3rd hip replacement in a month because my bones keep disintegrating), fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I started practicing with you a week ago and found I could do all the movement in spite of a hip almost immobilized due to bone loss, shoulders bound up w/arthritis and knees that have no cartilage left. This FEELS SO GOOD!! I can't believe how (relatively) painless it is and how invigorated I feel afterward. I do this when I take a break from working (I am writing a book based on twenty years of my research) and have found it clears my head and I'm able to go back to work refreshed and without that dull head ache that comes everyday about 2pm.
It is a joy to watch you and follow along. Thank you.
wow! thanks for sharing this experience! I will practice it more definitely, in order to calm down and be more patient.

I had been searching RUclips for beginner’s Tai Chi and had been unsuccessful in my quest to find anything reasonable, until I Googled this and it brought me directly here. This video is a fantastic introduction to Tai Chi! I had taken a Harvard University online TaiChi course and they showed some basic moves, but never tied them together leaving me disappointed and feeling robbed. This instructor demonstrates the moves slowly and has a soothing and factual voice, leaving me with the feeling that I am being taught by someone who has good command of Tai Chi. Thank you for this channel.
You are most welcome

I have been doing calisthenics for four years and I can tell you Tai Chi is one of the best workouts and can get you far ahead of people who start gym before basic workouts. Within first few weeks of it you will have strengthened the body enough to start basic calisthenics like half way push ups and half way squats. TaiChi is great muscle training for all age ranges.
YES!!
For all the technical commentators - please understand that people entirely new to soft martial arts cannot possibly absorb their foundational philosophies, strategies and methodologies as they are way too complex. This video is aimed for lay people, the elderly, the mildly distressed etc to follow and absorb. The demonstration here is a superlative example of deep knowledge translated for easy absorption by the uninitiated casual user and has the potential to produce almost 'instant' - within one week - benefit. Once initiated, the participant can advance on to the more elaborate and technically sophisticated forms. Taiflow - kudos to you in Spades! Please keep it up and thank you!
Asa Imma thank you so much for that!
No. As Yang Luchan said to Yang Banhou, "Can this be t'ai chi?" T'ai chi ch'uan (taijiquan) doesn't feature independent movement of the arms, such as that depicted in the push in the videoclip.
Sure is! It's great.
Asa Imma Nice try at providing an excuse, but no, that's still wrong. Moving incorrectly isn't the same as giving layered explanations. Instead, moving incorrectly is only moving incorrectly. And the effect of modeling incorrect movement--while claiming that it's taijiquan--is to propagate incorrect movement in those who believe the demonstration because they don't know any better. In other words, it's fraud.
Dude, I think you need to do some meditation on why you're being so nit-picky and upset about this. Fraud? That's just silly. First, she's not selling anything. Second, she is not advertising this as perfect forms. This is for beginners just engaging with these sorts of movements. And it is helping many people, as you can read in many of the comments on here. How is that a bad thing?
Unlike most people here cracking jokes about it I actually appreciate this for what it is. I have a back problem which affects my legs and makes it difficult for me to get even basic exercise. This helps me a lot because it's not too strenuous. i even have trouble walking so my blood pressure is too high. my dr says i need some exercise but got to be careful not to worsen the damage. Than you!
Im in the same boat.I feel your pain
It’s funny that there are people who spring up on serious videos like this, and start making sarcastic comments, unrelated to the subject. They must be living desperate lives. They should watch this with seriousness, as this could actually help them, physically and mentally. Good luck you pathetic little trolls hiding behind your keyboards.
I’m with you, I am a retired ambulance officer (paramedic), with a back injury and the best exercises are yoga 🧘♀️ and Tai Chi. Keep up your Tai Chi exercises and best wishes for a healthy future.
Over the past few years I've gone through a lot with my mental health, and I tried all sorts of things to try to help regulate my nervous system. I did yoga for a couple years, but it didn't help much with my anxiety or chronic pain, and eventually my perfectionism turned it into an unhealthy practice for me, so I knew I had to try something else.
I knew basically nothing about tai chi, and from appearances, I didn't think it'd help my pain to do such little movements, but I gave it a shot. After my first 5 minutes, my shoulders had softened, my spine moved more freely, my ears popped, my jaw relaxed, and I felt calmer than I had in months.
I've been doing it daily for around a month now, and it hasn't failed me. I've been able to make more progress in my mind and body, and I'm beyond thrilled that I found these videos.
Tai Chi is magic when you practice every day. It changed my life. 🙏
@@Taiflow It's currently changing mine! Thank you for sharing your practice ❤
Master Leia, I'm going to speak for all your students of Tai Chi, - thank you so much for these instructional videos. I'm not really flexible nor have I ever liked to do any particular sporting activity, so I was a little bit afraid I couldn't keep up, but I was surprised to find out these basic movements are pretty simple and elegant to do. I know that if I practise regularly, I'll eventually get much better, and maybe I'll be able to learn how to defend myself if needed. But, honestly, I think that Tai Chi is so much more than "just" a fighting combat technique. My Reiki always starts to flow when practising Tai Chi and it just makes me so happy!
Although, I'm not doing it even nearly as flawlessly and elegantly, as you are, I can feel my body getting stronger and more flexible each time I practise with you.
Thank you, Master, be blessed!
Loving this... I've been doing a little less than 3 weeks & my balance is so much better. I do it before I go to bed sometimes I'm tired I forget & get in bed then remember I haven't done my Tai Chi. I get up straight away to do my Tai Chi it so relaxing. Tgere is such a lovely peaceful energy with it... Thank you so much. ❤🎉🌹
I do that too sometimes haha I get out of bed to do Qigong cause I know I will sleep better
DAY 5 MAKING MY WAY TO 100...5 MINS A DAY WILL GIVE YOU THE WAY. I PRAY FOR SUCCESS. CANCER THERAPY HAS A TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECT. FATIGUE! I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING. BUT TAI CHI DRAWS ME TO DO IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Ok good job! Keep going.
The universe played itself out and brought me here. What a great teacher for a novice like myself! Thank you! I feel better just being here. Time well spent. (Zen proverb: Let go or be dragged.) Be well everyone.
Had to miss a day due to severe eye problems.
Did day 17 today friday march 3. Still battling cancer. But not discouraged.
Tai Chi meditation keeps me i touch with rewarding prayer life. I saw your message when you went to China. I am interested in your upcoming classes.
Thank you for teaching Tai Chi.
After doing this practice for 10 minutes, I literally felt such intense energy surging through my body, it gave me goosebumps everywhere. What a rush! I've practiced Qi gong in the past and have forgotten what a great connection it makes to mind, body and breath. I totally felt the release of Qi all throughout my body. Love it!
Try practicing star energy.its so powerful people can be knocked off feet with a rush of power
Its amplified en masse
I’m so frustrated, when I read comments like this, you are watching the wrong video my friend.
Try doing it right from the get go by a master, where the moves are explained properly…
ruclips.net/video/NsZaY-EMpiA/видео.html
You should always Lear how to start and warm up first ok. Explained moves are extremely important.
It’s like a physical meditation. Really impressed with how good this felt.
That's why I'm getting into it too. I've managed to cultivate a good meditation habit but I struggle sometimes with getting myself to stay still, not think or-my favorite-not get some insidious itch every time I try to relax. I know meditation through movement is a thing so I'm giving it a shot in the hopes that it'll help with anxious days.
Agree
It is meditation indeed. As you gather greater control of your breath and your body relaxes to an ever deeper degree, our minds become crystal clear and highly focused. Tai Chi Ch'uan and Chi-kung are dynamic forms of meditation and work even better when joined to seated, static meditation. I do both every day, I will never stop these beautiful practices. The rewards are endless. Good luck!
That’s exactly it!
It's my second day and i'm feeling much better after the exercises. I'm struggling with depression for two years and nothing had ever made me feel good until I met Tai-Chi. So thank you :)
I searched for Tai Chi to heal But I was surprised by the Water bending community here.
I found this several months ago. To me, It's totally satisfactory - her voice, the view (!!!), the motions and I actually like the music. Thanks for everything.
Thanks Martha 🤗
I'm on lockdown just outside Wayne County, one of the COVID-19 hotspots. I haven't done Tai Chi in almost 10 years. I registered for an online Tai Chi class this morning through our local community college and through tech snafus missed it by 5 minutes. It was such a bummer cause I had to twist my own arm to get there!! I gave myself a pep talk and did some searching, and wound up here. Thank you to the Taiflow Channel. You're a healer in these troubled times.
I have watched and learned from many masters. But this wonderful woman I have found to be the very best! Just found her channel also. I was never taught the breathing very well. She goes slowly. Which helps alot! Be well!
Thank you, I always come back to find you. My mother taught tai chi, and her name is Flo. And you remind me of her when she was younger. Thank you. Love.
I’m here because tho I may not need this extra bit of exercise, I’ve decided that I do need some. I’m active-ish but never really exercise and I’m pretty weak. Now, I stayed up a bit later than I usually do and did a few simple exercises. They weren’t much but since I’m not used to it, it was hard. However, every morning I’ll get up and do more. If I have free time I’ll try this! I’ll keep it as something if I want an extra challenge! Thank you so much for this and remember, you don’t have to wait to exercise till you absolutely need it because, to be honest, you always absolutely need it! I wish the best of luck to anyone out there who decided to care for themselves a little more and to anyone who’s been doing this forever! I wish everyone the best of luck! :)
My local Tai Chi class has been suspended for now because of the coronavirus. Because of videos like this, I can keep at it while I'm waiting for my class to start up again. Thanks!
I have a great online course that you can follow and even get ahead of the class!! Let me know if you want more details. I also do payment plans.
Thanks to You Tube, sitting at home we can learn Yoga, Tai Chi, or any other form of exercise in great detail.
Have come to know about Tai chi from a number of people and getting benefitted thereafter. Having thought of, I started to watch a video for the beginners. Having coming across those inspirational comments, I have just began with mine. Hoping to get benefitted with time.
I'm 68 with back and knee problems and started this about two weeks ago. The comments are what really convinced me that this is the video to use. It's very easy and enjoyable.
It's March 28, 2020 and I am in isolation because the corona virus.I like Tai Chi and when found your class I just following that. I live in Brazil/South América. Thank you
I did Tai Chi years ago and unfortunately gave it up. Every now and then I have looked on youtube for an easy way back into it. This video is the most helpful I have found so far, and really got me back into the right style with the flow of energy within a few minutes. I know that, even if I were to do no more than the few moves in this short video, there would be great benefits.
I’m 62 y.o. And for the first time in my life I’m going to be serious about tai chi. Very simple starting steps. Thank you!
Yes it’s a good time to start making yourself a priority
I I have started it in my 70 years, and I will follow you until the end.
Zdeněk MAREŠ it is my pleasure to have you join me on my path, welcome.
Thanks.
Nearly 70 and feeling very positive after 2 days using this video , going to commit to keeping it up for 100 days because of the comments at the start of the video
I am with you Terry on the 100 day Commitment - I used to teach Qi Gong integrated with Meditation Classes - it is like Coming hOMe - I am so GRATEFUL for this video (and others with Tai Chi as well.) Wishing you Health, Balance, and Flow of all that is Good in Universe
I just did my first session and I ended up twisting it to my own. I blocked out all thought and just focused on breathing and relaxation and I began to cry when I was done. This is the best I’ve felt in years. Day 1 done… many more to go! 😊
Keep posting every day if you like to stay accountable
@@Taiflow I’m going too, I NEED too…. For to long I let myself wander while trying to figure it out. Peace was what I was missing. I’m holding myself accountable from here on out. This journey is a true form of true excitement in my life for once…
Day 2 down!!
Day 3 down!!
Day 4 down!!
Day 5 down!!
Day 6 down!!
Day 6! Got to it late but made time for myself :)
Yep, awesome routine
I didn't really think it would be a calming experience, but combined with the music and the slow movements... it calms me down.
First day, thank you so much fort this video. My health is not good, i need something simple, peple please wish me luck so I will continue this.
5 years on, and this is still the best Tai Chi intro I've seen. Thank you so much.
You have helped many, Leia!
I found the original footage and I could post this with softer music but I don’t want to compete with myself. I’m still thinks about it.
@@Taiflow how nice! It would be cool to hear both❤
This music is perfect. Energizing AND relaxing ❤
My healthcare provider suggested I either do yoga or tai chi to help with my stress, depression, and low appetite so here I am. Started today and hope to continue doing videos like this for at least 100 days. Gonna keep a tracker in my journal to try to keep up with it since I have trouble staying motivated for long projects. Best of luck to everyone else doing this, too!
Ok just focus on each day and celebrate your practice honor your efforts
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It is not overwhelming with lots of complex moves right from the start and I am looking forward to exploring your longer videos and expanding my abilities.
First time trying Tai Chi. My stress and anxiety seemed to vanish immediately! I am a believer in what you do. My goal is to watch and participate daily. Thanks so much for sharing your time and passion with us.
Thank you so much for putting up this post. My husband and I are both in our seventies and I have a chronic lung disease, but we're both finding these simple exercises amazingly helpful and look forward to doing them every morning. You have done a lovely and unselfish thing in reaching out to others. Thank you.
Practice the module 01 and 01b and also the Qigong for Stress and anxiety - Dr. Libby's getting into the green zone. You might be able to do module 02 but after that the level jumps and it might get too hard for you.
I was inspired to learn Tai Chi ever since watching Avatar. I always wanted to be a water bender! I guess now’s the time for me to pursue my dream x)
Exactly why I am here
I will start it
. & make it habit
I'm doing the same thing!
This is the exercise that I have been doing in my home as a thinking that I am a waterbender for meditation. And now I learned new that this is called Tai Chi 😂😂🌊
same here i rly wanna be a water bender and i’ve always loved water
You are the best teacher of tai chi I found on RUclips. I wish you could continue releasing videos. We need more of your gentle wisdom and instruction
@@richardrash4586 it isn’t RUclips it’s me lol I have to create the content to put on RUclips. I have been working on my memoir and soon I will publish it. Did you see the Shibashi video I put out recently! Tai Chi Qigong 18 step it is lovely
@Taiflow I will check out the 18 steps tai chi video. Thanks for letting me know and please let us know when you publish your memoir!
@Taiflow just did your 18 step shibashi and loved it! Looking forward to more! Thanks taiflow
@ sign up to the Silver membership for more…
I had a friend who took traditional tai chi in a reputed school in the (very large) city I lived in a while back. She often commented that the sifu was abrupt and critical - he always found fault with something and would get angry and somewhat verbally abusive. This turned me off from trying as all I was looking for was smooth, relaxing movements. I checked lots of videos on RUclips but they were very technical and detailed and I needed to learn a whole new vocabulary in a language I had no interest in learning. This video is exactly what I've been looking for, so thank you for giving your time to the rest of us who only want peace and relaxation. Maybe one day I'll want to achieve perfect form and I'll be willing to spend 37 years on that, but it's not today :)
Release yourself from the outcome and join my Traditional Tai Chi Basics program and you will see that learning Tai Chi can also be rewarding and pleasurable. That how I teach and that's my promise.
I can't workout for 30 days post-surgery so I am glad I have found a way to move my body without straining myself.I felt super warm at the start but now I feel good and super relaxed. Thank you!
Tai Chi day 6 with you.
Counting to 100 days.
I am enjoying Tai Chi.
Thank you for helping me to have energy again. Tai Chi helps me to feel good, feel happy.
How's it going with Tai Chi regimen?
I have been suffering from rheumatic fever for 5 years and the doctor told me to practice taichi. Like i get a lot less pain when i do this. This has helped me a lot. Thankyou so much. I don't do this for a while, so l started doing it again when the pain came back. It seemed to help tremendously in reducing the pain.
Thank you so much for this. After years of Pilates and yoga, I just could not get back into the daily exercise after breaking ankle altering rotator cuff. This simple graceful movements have actually got me moving every single day. I’m extremely grateful🙏🙏🙏
At 5:48 you have the entire set without pauses/explanation, people. Thanks for this awesome video!
Thankss
This was my first Taiji practice. I am so grateful for it. Did the review twice and felt that slow does not mean easy. Thank you so much for this video, this amazing nature and your kind guidance.
This video is always my go to when my anxiety reaches uncomfortable levels, and always brings me back to my body in a calming way. Thank you Leia for this gift.
Finally, a form of exercise/movement that may be doable with my chronic pain. Doesn't have to be outdoors either, so if I need to stop and rest at any time, I can.
Tried a few of the exercises, and I felt calmer as well (stress tends to worsen my symptoms).
Probably won't become a daily ritual for me tbh, but definitely worth having in my "arsenal" of 'spoonie' coping mechanisms.
Thank you for these videos. I'm recovering from triple bypass surgery and obviously cannot get to any in person classes. These are exactly the right pace to help me regain my strength and your voice, music and settings are so so so calming! I love these!
Thank you! I started today and already feel a change after 5 minutes. I had surgery on both shoulders in the past 6 months and this will become a daily routine for me as well as progression of this amazing art in my life
Hi Taiflow! I'm currently on my death bed and your video brought me alive, i was doing tai cho in my surgery and it helped me be alive once again. I suffer from heart attacks every three days, cancer, lyme dieases, a chronic dieases, and ur video madde me find the cure for cancer. I am curentl 113 years old and running and doing tai chi.
❤❤❤❤ What a blessing. Stay well. God bless you. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Just got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I remembered doing Tai chi when I was at a health clinic, getting up early to walk to the lake side to quietly practice tai chi. It was such a great start to my day, I’m not sure why I stopped. I remembered it out of the blue though as I’ve once again been having issues with both my physical and mental health. Hopefully getting back into the habit of doing tai chi will help.
Yes you need to learn to manage your stress for sure to prevent flareups
Beautifully executed Tai Chi exercises, leia is obviously a very good Tai Chi practicioner. I have been practicing Tai Chi for 37 years and would definitely recommend this practice if you are unable to attend a Tai Chi class.
Yes Leia is not saying that she was performing Tai Chi, but is showing people some Tai Chi like principles. Having taught a lot of 70-86 year old people the Tai Chi Form I have come to realise that it is not something everyone will be able to do. Especially when starting out later on in life. Therefore these beautiful exercises are just perfect for those and others in the position of not going to be able to go to a class.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Could you please share this with your friends on social media?
san5324 sorry but I am not the sort of person who is usually replying to people who are looking for conflict as my time is best spent helping others who need relaxation, both young and old. Leia I think is also from this mold I think so well done her. Please try and find some time to do this yourself and you will see the benefits you can get from service. Wishing you well San but can no longer reply as I have Tai Chi classes to teach.
San I lived in China for 2 years at a traditional martial arts school where I practiced with my children 8 hours a day 6 days a week and we home-schooled in our free time. I may not have been there for 8 years but I believe it was long enough to learn and understand the meaning behind a traditional Tai Chi practice. Initially posting these videos, I was afraid to be judged by my compatriots who I trained at the school, some of them were there for 5-8 years but as Marcus said it is more important to share this with people who aren't able to go train in China or aren't able to make classes or simply aren't at that point and first need to dip their feet and see if it is something they might want to investigate deeper. This style is called Taijifit and I learned it from David Dorian Ross who has been a Tai Chi practioner for over 40 years and he was even on American TV. He uses the traditional Tai Chi as a base but adapts it so that people who have never done these kinds of movements can get into a flow state. Our world is sitting too much!!! Lets all get up and move, share the love and get into a flow state together. What a wonderful idea!
You are funny, maybe it is because I told you that you are behaving like my ex husband? How can I scam people out of money if the videos are free? This is what I love to do, I go to beautiful places with my camera man, sometimes by myself and I film videos that help people get up a move. I would love for people to come join my traditional Tai Chi class but first I have to get them moving and then I can book them in to learn the Wudang Tai Chi 28 form. Until then no money has been exchanged!
As for Taijifit I am a part of that community and I have seen obese women lose weight, elderly women with hip problems find their flexibility and it is a wonderful community of people who are getting fitter everyday. Stop being so grumpy San and do something more positive for 5 minutes and I promise you will feel better.
This is really really beautiful. I've attracted towards Taoism philosophy for this past year and then i really thought that tai chi is the best way physically to practice it. Very attractive.
Thank you. I've been trying to do this 5 days a week for the past year. I have mostly succeeded and I can definitely feel the difference in my level of strength when I don't do it. Much appreciated. 🙏
I'm on an acid microdose and I'm nearly in tears, idk why. This is so beautiful. I'm bout to go skateboarding, afterwards ill go to the forest and try tai chi. I'll try putting these visualisations in my skateboarding flow. Thank you so much.
Hope it was a good trip!
@@jaronloar1762 It was! Thank you!
@@jaronloar1762 It's crazy how that was the last time I took a micro dose until yesterday night. I did some Journaling, put on some solfeggio frequencies, took a triangle and went to bed. Had the craziest "dream" and woke up to this comment of yours. "hope you had a nice trip".. Incredible :D
@@afakayu5176 You're welcome! :) And wow! That's insane! The patterns of the universe lined up for us! I feel like I've been able to tap into those patterns more and more the more I have been getting into Taoism. Interesting!
But oh cool! I hadn't heard of solfeggio frequencies until your comment, and they seem fascinating! If I may, do you have a specific video you go to for to listen to the frequencies? :)
I've also been wanting to get into journaling too! My idea was to make a bullet point list every day of things that happened in the day and things that I think are going to happen in the future! Then I can look back and see if my predictions were accurate! :D
@@afakayu5176 Hey! Sorry for the late reply, but yea that is really cool! I wonder if it is almost like the law of attraction type thing you were talking about but in a different way? :) But ah yes, I am very new to Taoism, but also feel like the philosophies of Zen are very fascinating and would love to practice them!
But wow! Thank you for all these links! I will be sure to check them all out! :D This is very fascinating! And I tried listening to some solfeggio frequencies, and it's crazy how relaxing they are. It's like you are in a different state of mind! :O
And I will definitely check out all of those things you reccommended and have to let you know what I think of them! I've been looking to get back into reading lately too, so a book would be great, expecially one on something interesting like that! :)
Awesome prayer too! I feel like it's a very calming one, and when you are calm you make better decisions a lot of times! So it could almost be like a mantra as well! :D
But oh sweet! Yea, I've been keeping a thankful journal of at least one thing every day since November 19th of last year! :) Sometimes it's hard to think of things, but ironically it helps me keep a good timeframe of important things that happened in my life. But I would love to dive into a written journal a lot more as well! Even if the things I write now aren't as interesting, I'm sure they will be a lot more interesting in the future when I read them again! :)
But thank you again for the info! I'll definitely get back to you on what I think of all of this stuff! Thanks! :)
Who’s here because they actually want to learn Tai Chi, and not waterbending?
I do but if I could learn to waterbend it would be a plus xD

treating pain is my life long passion using alternative healing natural therapies. if you need my help email lanmatp@gmail.com

This is one of my favorites. I started taking Tai chi about 3 years ago and I look forward to my classes. It helps with structure, balance, strength among other things in my everyday life. Thank you for this video.
it’s amazing to me, i can’t help but recommend it to everyone especially if/when i hear them complain about this or that pain. Just the doing the simplest beginner move’s seemed to relax & center’ me🤭 i luv it, even more than yoga 🧘🏻
I am recovering, hopefully, from a 14 month bout with shingles. My doctor told me there is no cure and that I would just have to wait it out and rest. Although I feel better the shingles continue. 29 days of this tai chi has helped me more than I can even express. I have more energy and I’m able to think about something besides shingles. My body alignment and posture have greatly improved. My attitude is much more positive and I’ve begun my art practice again. I am so grateful.
Have you cut out wheat and gluten? Do you drink enough water?
@@Taiflow I’m pretty conscious of wheat and gluten. I’ve never been a big water consumer. I will be more conscious now to drink more water. Thank you.
@@jackiblair7932 2 liters a day you need it to flush your system. Zero wheat and gluten until it’s gone completely.

@@littlebird6068 start by drinking two liters of water a day get a bottle that you can meausre our water and I would recommend removing all wheat and gluten while you are in a flair up.
Made it to Day 100! So thankful I found this easy to get into routine. My mornings feel so much more centered and grounded. I will not be stopping here either! On to 100 Days of Module #2! Thanks so much Sifu Taiflow!
👏👏👏
I've been inspired to learn 'Tai Chi' in this life and at long last, I am here. Your video has been the introduction I have been looking for. I thank you greatly.
I have included your instruction into my Mantra, that it will take 100 days and the movement is not important, whereas the daily practice is important.
For a long time I was becoming aware that the movement was instructed from within me, and that I would know what to do.
Thank you again for your teaching. Namaste
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I am a very active 79 year old who is benefiting so much from slowing down & enjoying tai chi. I LOVE IT!!! You are a wonderful teacher. Going to do your next video when I have memorized this one.
I'm 66 and am recovering from a minor stroke/TIA. I have been pretty sedentary for a year or so and am now feeling as if I need to do something...and then I discovered your Module 1. I used to practice yoga years ago, but thought it just didn't fit with who I am today, but your charming video has come to my rescue. It's been almost 3 weeks now that I have been moving with you in Module 1, and by the way I love the music :) I think I may need some more time before I move on to Module 2, but I would like to thank you for being my wee inspiration to get myself back into motion. I also find your demeanour and voice to be very soothing for the soul. Many, many thanks to you.
It is my absolute pleasure to have you with my on this journey. Take your time, remember its about regularity that will bring wonderful results.
I have dome Module 1 for a month now and am ready to move on to Mod 2 next week. Am I supposed to do my mod 1 movements and then Mod 2 also, or just forget Mod 1 and only do Mod 2? I feel I should do both :)
As you progress through the modules you will find that I often repeat Module one at the beginning of the various modules. You can continue to move forward and eventually it will come up again.
and yes you should always start with module one so if it isn't in the module you want to practice then do it first. If it is then just do it with the other module. I don't remember anymore exactly which ones have it and which don't. You can let me know as you go along.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. Yes it goes both ways with the music. I am so pleased that I have inspired you to get up and move. Don't be afraid to start the next module just remember to release yourself from the final result and just follow me. The more you advance the more coordination you will require which is exactly what you need. If it is too hard then go back a module for a bit but don't be afraid to move on. I got your back you will be fine. Just keep practicing everyday even for only 5 minutes. If some days you feel stronger then you can practice some more.
