My husband and and I are both disabled with poor balance, we are both struggling with lifting our feet and I have actually fallen. Is there an alternative that we can do. Our upper body is fine for the exercises shown.
I had a hip replacement three months ago. I know there are limitations to what I can do being that I am in Physical Therapy right now. This looks like it will help me in strengthening my quads and arms. I am 67 years old. I’m on my journey to walking again without the aid of a walker or a cane! It’s been 11 years since I’ve been able to do that. I’m determined! Ty for your videos! Can’t wait to start!
I have answered this several times, making a dvd is a very expensive exercise, once made it is difficult to change let alone the immense cost. Our team did our best, we paid for a professional announcer - and did everything else as profesional and as good as we could. We produced our work with passion and the only objective to help empower people to improve health and wellness. No way we can please everyone or change everything. Thanks for all those who support and appreciate our work and benefited from it. Thanks for those who understand and appreciate how much work and expense we put in compare to vast majority of dvds, and that there is no perfection for every viewer. May I suggest coming to my workshop then you would just have my voice and no announcer.
I am 74 years old and am in recovery from left toe surgery. I thank you for your video to help me with my balance issues. I have registered for a class that uses your methods that begins Jan 7th and meets every Tue and Thurs for the month of January. It was recommended that I use your dvd for beginners daily to help with this instructions. My biggest problem already is just slowing down and then the lack of strength in my ankles. I will advise you of my progress.
Chung Nguyen, of course I am not a kungfu master, I only interested in bringing health and happiness to people through tai chi. I dislike fighting and violence. I want to help people fight for better quality of life, fight for harmony and peace. I am a medical doctor who focuses on preventive medicine, my colleagues and I care about people and their health. I have been a family physician for over forty years, I involved in many medical research - my passion is at helping people.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to you for creating and sharing these videos for free.... I will absolutely buy them at some point, as they are the best instructions on Tai Chi I have ever seen. Your energy is so calm and comforting, and I just had to say thank you for being so kind and generous. I’m sure these videos help a LOT of people.
I'm 35 years old, I had a Stroke 2 months ago. My balance is not good yet. This classes are wonderful. I'm doing this to recover my balance. Thank you so much. You are amazing!!!
Thank you very much, I love that you do the exercises so slow that in my condition is way better because all my attention is on balancing and moving super slow. Hope to meet you too!!
je suis tombée par hasard sur votre vidéo (si le hasard existe,)merci pour cette traduction en français vous avez fait une adepte les explications sont claires simples je crois que je vais persévérer ,un grand merci en cette période de crise Catherine
I've been looking for a really good Tai Chi program for me. This looks like it. I'm 74 and on May 3, 2016 I had vertebras L1 through L5 fused. It'll take about 18 months for the process to completely heal. This should cut down that time greatly. Robert Horvath in Tucson Arizona USA
He has such a benevolent and genuine expression. He inspires trust right away. Thank you Dr. Paul, Students and everyone else that contributed to the production.
Tai chi it’s so good for people with panic attack and anxiety like me 😢😢 I’m practice at the public parks and the people looking at my like I’m crazy 😝
Your voice alone is so soothing, why dont we all speak like this, im sure the world would be so much better! But im still going to start Tai Chi as well and im going to use this video.
Glad you love our work of passion, we tried very hard to meet everyone's preference. Having reaches well over 15 million people, we found it much more practical to make our work user friendly and instructional clear and step wise. But we are always working on making our work better. Will keep your comments in mind. In fact at the latest advanced series there are only myself teaching but the introduction does have more people - good to see happy tai chi people around the world!
"It's better to learn fewer movements well, than rushing through many movements". Exactly how I feel about yoga! I'm excited to learn and incorporate Tai chi into my exercise regime. It's a recommended exercise for my blood type, according to Dr. D'Adamo's book, Eat Right 4 Your Type. I have 18 years of ballet and ballroom dancing, and love yoga, so I'm excited to learn this art of movement! Thank you for putting this for free on RUclips!! Your passion for it must be immense to make it available in this way, and I thank you for being a bringer of light into this dark world!
How refreshing and delightful this video is. I cringed at the length of your video and found myself prepared to skim through it ... but ... I found myself mesmerized by your gentle voice and smooth movements that before I knew it I had followed every move all the way through without stopping and wanted more! I can't wait to see the next lesson!
Dr. Lam, this is day two of your beginner's course for me. This will help me so much with anxiety issues from deaths including my husband and mother. It will teach me calmness, the calmness of Heaven! I have always wanted to learn Tai Chi. Thank you so much for these free courses!!! The benefits will be with me throughout my life. God Bless You brother!!! Kelly in Colorado. USA.
You are a sweet person Dr. Lam - i'm so happy i found your videos - I have health problems that the doctors are ignoring - well; actually there is one doctor who is helping me - and he is SO OVERWORKED! I have a very odd type of vertigo, and also a head injury, spinal injury and whiplash and concussion syndrome - no one is helping me with this - and I used to be a very active person; was a dancer and would walk and sing all night - I was also a musician and performer - I slowly became house bound and bedridden because doctors would not treat me and i refuse to take narcotic medicines. My friend suggested I try Tai Chi - because i am unable to leave my house -and i don't think anyone teaches it in my town - I looked up and found your videos. I have been doing the exercises and the breathing (which is very much the same as what i was taught for yoga and Reiki) - and now - I am able to lay down flat and sleep -which i haven't been able to do for 5 months; and I go out in my garden and do the exercises and then some gardening - I love this- I am an anxious person -so this is also good for me because it is calming. My pain specialst doctor who is wonderful and does acupuncture for me thinks that the Tai Chi is a perfect thing for me to be doing for my condition. I hope that i will be able to buy a good full DVD of yours once i get the small basic moves learned and I would like to learn more! Blessings to you! Eriana.
Eri, how are you now? Have you found benefit from the practice? I ask because I have a TBI as a result of an accident, vertigo, I broke a total of 19 bones, from the hip to neck - on my left side only. It has been 7 years and it sounds like we are both seeking peace and serenity. I will begin with these lessons now. Bright blessings.
I became a huge fan of Dr.Paul Lam. I am from Kerala, India, and I am a handicapped woman of 50 yrs.I have heard about Tai chi in my school days. But first time iam doing this excercise watching your video. The way you are giving confidence is very much helping me. I am very grateful to you Dr.Lam. You are helping mankind with your amazing knowledge. Iam bowing my head before you.Thank you. sir. Every day I am doing this Tai chi for beginners excercise with my yoga .
I love this l have been very ill and am having physical therapy but l find these move pretty simple although l dont have a lot of movement in my right leg lm hoping if l follow this program to the letter l do believe it will improve my health and well being greatly thank you 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
i am so grateful for this video being available - i was bedridden 3 years ago; and this got my up, i got my balance back - and eventually - this past year i was able to get a used bicycle and ride every day for an hour. I hadn't been able to do that in 16 years because of loss of balance in my inner ear - but doing the exercises - helped me get this back. Now - this winter I am doing this again. because i just put my bike in the basement because we are all ice and snow now; - but i'm getting back and headaches from lack of exercise - I just had my 57 birthday - i do not feel 57 in my mind -- -but my body has been though a lot. It is good to help my body. Thank you so much
I have already introduced my girlfriend to this video as she also suffers from back pain and I'm sure she will get just as much from this as I did. As we speak my shoulder pain is almost non existent and my neck and back pain has improved considerably. Again a huge thank you!
Sir, thank you for your videos. My mother had always wanted to learn Tai Chi. In her last days she was confined to a wheelchair after diabetic amputation, but she could move her arms and upper legs. Not too long after practicing Tai Chi she was declared nondiabetic (she had had it since the mid 80s) and able to come off insulin forever. Unfortunately the damage to her body had been done and she passed shortly thereafter. I believe many assisted living and nursing home residents could benefit from Tai Chi here in the US. I will recommend you to them.
Thanks Ungetable7, yes she is beautiful and a wonderful daughter. I am so happy that my daughter enjoys tai chi and participated in our work. Her husband and her friends composed and produced that Tai Chi Music CD Volume 2, they are world class musicians. Many of my participants attended and enjoyed her concerts.
Hi Sharon, welcome to the 70 club, you beat me by a year. I would be very handicap without tai chi since I have arthritis from 13. I hope you enjoy my tai chi and if you can find one of the Tai Chi for Health Institute's board certified instructors to train as well as using my DVD or online lessons, you would enjoy it more and learn more. Best wishes Paul
I JUST STARTED TO WATCH NOW AND I AM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THE TAI CHI... WITH THIS COVID 19 , I THINK TAI CHI WILL HELP ME TO NOT LOSE MY BALANCE(MENTAL AND PSIHICAL)..THANK YOU DR LAM
Nice to hear from you Smarter Impact: my vision is to reach as many people as possible, and glad to know we have nearly 10 millions views. There must be an awareness of how much the world can benefit from tai chi!
Hello Dr Lam I would like to thank you for doing this video. I have Parkinsonism and it has become very difficult for me to do my favorite yoga. But this is so simple, not tiring at all, and you do not have to lie down on any mat (when it is almost impossible to get up on your own). Also I feel it has given me more energy, even though I started only about a week ago. Mariam
I have been practicing yoga all of my life and now I am over 60 and just starting tai chi for the same reason. My shoulders are beginning to bother me and I miss my downward and upward dog's but my shoulders are not as forgiving as they used to be so tai chi was the perfect progression for me. Looking forward to Dr Lams lessons.
I am 73 my balance has been diminishing . I have looked at other videos but feel a connection with Dr Lam. I look forward finding a side of my self pbysically, mentally and emotionally that I have searched for but not found before.
What a pleasure it is to have found your introductory video. Your calm voice and demeanor inspire me to put Tai Chi back in my life after many years. Thank you!!
Paul thank you for your reply, his accent is not the problem it's just too loud and brash. Compared to your own wonderfully peaceful and clear voice it's like being woken up by a trumpet in the middle of a peaceful meditation. If you make any future videos, please know that your voice is one of the best of any Teacher that I have heard.
Dr Paul I’m very pleased to see you program for beginners ,it is beginning to help me, may I know whether can help a 90 year old man suffering With Parkinson’s . As presently my legs are beginning to make me very unsteady on my feet. Perhaps you may know of something I can do. Because of my condition I also experience anxiety. In spite of these handicaps I still am not giving up.Fazal A Karim
Well Paul Lam, I have been viewing, teaching of Tai Chi. It has help my life and to conserve my energies. I am athetic, so I do know the slow motions and the breathing of mind and body connection.
thank you, Dr. Lam, for sharing your work. The Universe connected me to a local & low cost class when i sent out the intention..."NO...i do not accept this stiffness & pain for the rest of my life. Give me a way out!" & lo....so...to practice learning as well as practice.....your video came up as a great offering
How lovely. Just had surgery 7 weeks ago...much appreciated lesson for beginner's. I could do this to get back to normal and better than before. A gift!
This appears to be the help I've been looking for. I live in a senior community and several have expressed interest in an exercise program. I thought tai chi would help us all with balance, and mindfulness as well as being more in tune with our bodies. Thank you for making this iTunes video as we are all on low fixed income. We are always looking for activities that help us be more healthy and well socialized.
Thank so much for providing these free lessons for beginners. I have been suffering from arthritis many years now and I hope that i can find relief and if possible, healing, by follwing these exercises. I am grateful...
You are more than welcome. The Tai Chi for Health Institute is producing a documentary about anyone can learn tai chi, will be available soon. I will try to publish it here at RUclips.
We would love to have more people from India using Tai Chi for Health program to empower themselves, right now there are only a few instructors you can find them on the Tai Chi for Health Institute's website, also my online lessons are available to anywhere in the world with internet. I would love to come to India one day.
Tai Chi for Beginners will help, pending on your condition and doctor's advice, I would think Tai Chi for Arthritis might suit you better because it is little more gentle and has Sun's style's unique qigong (to generate internal energy), many people with Parkinson have found both helpful.
Thanks Conchitina Before I retired as family physician my medical partner Dr Cue came from Philippine... I really enjoy my visit there, and enjoy the friends I met. I am glad my work is useful to you and I do hope to visit your wonderful country again.
Appreciate your time code on the segments, if you subscribe the program, every segment is separated with timing. You can navigate to any part that suits you.
I have been wanting to learn & practice Tai-chi for a long time and now I have made a beginning with your videos! Bless me, my teacher in my journey of learning :-)
Dr. Paul, I am taking a Tai Chi class in my town, and our instructor recommended your videos if we wanted extra practice. I am just starting Tai Chi, and I love it. Thank you so much for your videos! Have a lovely day.
Thank you Dr. Lam for spreading your ancient healing wisdom. Im a 35 year old woman recovering from a spinal fracture, and this has really helped me regain mobility. Much gratitude🙏🏻
Excellent lessons and high quality videos. Very intuitive explanations and exercises. I just want to express my appreciation and to thank you very much for these wonderful videos Dr. Lam :)
I focused entirely on empowering people to improve their health and wellness. It is a lot more important. FBI statistic show that people are 200 time more likely to be injured from self defence training than being attacked.
Hello Arun, me too abhor violence. tai chi is about moving internal energy and reaching harmony with others and the world. to remember the movements follow my dvd, repeat lessons and follow my instruction, place regularly.
Anem, great to hear this from you. Tai chi is useful and enjoyable for anyone, we love to see more younger people doing tai chi. Did you watch my video "anyone can learn tai chi?" you can find it in RUclips, search my name and the title.
Thank you very much Paul Lam MD.I learned the steps and I can do the taichi.I been doing it for about a yrs or more.I can not believe how much it has help me.Reduce my pain I do it everyday.I am getting a little better with the forms.Thank you for teaching me how to fish.You are patient and consintency and repetitive. Good taichi teacher.Thank you again
Love your comment, yes I prefer empowering , or teaching how to fish than giving fish, though I also enjoy sharing fish to people in need. So many people in this world do need mental and physical wellness, be more effective for more of us to sharing how to fish.
I've been researching over the past few days where to start with Tai Chi. What recently prompted my interest was after watching an infomercial about it via Dr. Chenge (Tai Chenge) but I thought, why not just learn more about Tai Chi before purchasing. I searched and discovered your intro video to Tai Chi and now I'm really interested and want to know more about what you have to offer, thanks for sharing, I'm excited!!
I have pretty bad health and that keeps me from working out even when I want to. This I can do even when I’m not feeling so good. Thank you for that ❤️ /A greatful person from Sweden

Sir, thank you for your videos. My mother had always wanted to learn Tai Chi. In her last days she was confined to a wheelchair after diabetic amputation, but she could move her arms and upper legs. Not too long after practicing Tai Chi she was declared nondiabetic (she had had it since the mid 80s) and able to come off insulin forever. Unfortunately the damage to her body had been done and she passed shortly thereafter.
I believe many assisted living and nursing home residents could benefit from Tai Chi here in the US. I will recommend you to them.
oh i'm sorry God bless her 🙏
Thanks Ungetable7, yes she is beautiful and a wonderful daughter. I am so happy that my daughter enjoys tai chi and participated in our work. Her husband and her friends composed and produced that Tai Chi Music CD Volume 2, they are world class musicians. Many of my participants attended and enjoyed her concerts.
Thank you so much.

Hi Sharon, welcome to the 70 club, you beat me by a year. I would be very handicap without tai chi since I have arthritis from 13. I hope you enjoy my tai chi and if you can find one of the Tai Chi for Health Institute's board certified instructors to train as well as using my DVD or online lessons, you would enjoy it more and learn more. Best wishes Paul
I JUST STARTED TO WATCH NOW AND I AM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THE TAI CHI...

Nice to hear from you Smarter Impact: my vision is to reach as many people as possible, and glad to know we have nearly 10 millions views. There must be an awareness of how much the world can benefit from tai chi!
Hello Dr Lam
I would like to thank you for doing this video.
I have Parkinsonism and it has become very difficult for me to do my favorite yoga.
But this is so simple, not tiring at all, and you do not have to lie down on any mat (when it is almost impossible to get up on your own). Also I feel it has given me more energy, even though I started only about a week ago.

I have been practicing yoga all of my life and now I am over 60 and just starting tai chi for the same reason. My shoulders are beginning to bother me and I miss my downward and upward dog's but my shoulders are not as forgiving as they used to be so tai chi was the perfect progression for me. Looking forward to Dr Lams lessons.
didn't think of that
Yes I am looking for opening up of the world and back to conducting workshops around the world. Keep practicing meanwhile.
I just came across this video a few days ago and I already feel better! Thank you Dr. Paul Lam, I needed this in my life.
I am 73 my balance has been diminishing . I have looked at other videos but feel a connection with Dr Lam. I look forward finding a side of my self pbysically, mentally and emotionally that I have searched for but not found before.
Lesson 1 starts:
Warm up 9:00
Qigong 25:00
Balance 29:50
Cool down 38:25
Oh my God. I was wondering if it's just overly long promotional video or an actual exercise.
Thank you.
@@ruthshithigona6793 Oh my pleasure guys I had put the stamps for myself and didn't even expect anyone to see it.

What a pleasure it is to have found your introductory video. Your calm voice and demeanor inspire me to put Tai Chi back in my life after many years. Thank you!!
Excellent man to learn from. All my classes went too fast.Dr Lam's gentle spirit really helps you relax and stay open for the teaching.Love it!!
I love Tai chi.
Paul thank you for your reply, his accent is not the problem it's just too loud and brash. Compared to your own wonderfully peaceful and clear voice it's like being woken up by a trumpet in the middle of a peaceful meditation. If you make any future videos, please know that your voice is one of the best of any Teacher that I have heard.
Dr Paul I’m very pleased to see you program for beginners ,it is beginning to help me, may I know whether can help a 90 year old man suffering
With Parkinson’s . As presently my legs are beginning to make me very unsteady on my feet. Perhaps you may know of something I can do.
Because of my condition I also experience anxiety. In spite of these handicaps I still am not giving up.Fazal A Karim
Thanks Bill, I see myself as ordinary, but with burning passion to share tai chi.
Thank you Dr. Lam for sharing your extensive knowledge with the world ... Blessings
Well Paul Lam, I have been viewing, teaching of Tai Chi. It has help my life and to conserve my energies. I am athetic, so I do know the slow motions and the breathing of mind and body connection.
thank you, Dr. Lam, for sharing your work. The Universe connected me to a local & low cost class when i sent out the intention..."NO...i do not accept this stiffness & pain for the rest of my life. Give me a way out!" & lo....so...to practice learning as well as practice.....your video came up as a great offering
I hope you have been healing. :)

@@gilbeeson3805 I do not comprehend the meaning of this reply in reference to my gratitude for this video series.
@@serenakiril Thank you.
Thank you beautiful soul
Tai chi is something to burn calories and its energy that flows in your body and it makes you realxed. Nama stae.
How lovely. Just had surgery 7 weeks ago...much appreciated lesson for beginner's. I could do this to get back to normal and better than before. A gift!
This appears to be the help I've been looking for. I live in a senior community and several have expressed interest in an exercise program. I thought tai chi would help us all with balance, and mindfulness as well as being more in tune with our bodies. Thank you for making this iTunes video as we are all on low fixed income. We are always looking for activities that help us be more healthy and well socialized.
Thank so much for providing these free lessons for beginners. I have been suffering from arthritis many years now and I hope that i can find relief and if possible, healing, by follwing these exercises. I am grateful...
You are more than welcome. The Tai Chi for Health Institute is producing a documentary about anyone can learn tai chi, will be available soon. I will try to publish it here at RUclips.
We would love to have more people from India using Tai Chi for Health program to empower themselves, right now there are only a few instructors you can find them on the Tai Chi for Health Institute's website, also my online lessons are available to anywhere in the world with internet. I would love to come to India one day.
Tai Chi for Beginners will help, pending on your condition and doctor's advice, I would think Tai Chi for Arthritis might suit you better because it is little more gentle and has Sun's style's unique qigong (to generate internal energy), many people with Parkinson have found both helpful.

Thanks Conchitina
Before I retired as family physician my medical partner Dr Cue came from Philippine... I really enjoy my visit there, and enjoy the friends I met. I am glad my work is useful to you and I do hope to visit your wonderful country again.
Appreciate your time code on the segments, if you subscribe the program, every segment is separated with timing. You can navigate to any part that suits you.
Thanks Ssully. tai chi is such a gift to mankind! how can exercise/art be so enjoyable?
Thank you Dr. Lam for all your fantastic videos. They have helped me & my friends a lot.

Excellent lessons and high quality videos. Very intuitive explanations and exercises. I just want to express my appreciation and to thank you very much for these wonderful videos Dr. Lam :)
Saw this video’ you now have a fan from India. Thank you sir. You are a blessing to mankind.
I focused entirely on empowering people to improve their health and wellness. It is a lot more important. FBI statistic show that people are 200 time more likely to be injured from self defence training than being attacked.

Awesome introduction and good for students. Dr Paul your voice is soothing and calm.. Thank you
No pain no gain.
Great to hear from you Brenda, enjoy the journey of tai chi and the many health benefits!
I just started tai chi, and like how it is slow and quiet.
thank you sir
Hello Arun, me too abhor violence. tai chi is about moving internal energy and reaching harmony with others and the world. to remember the movements follow my dvd, repeat lessons and follow my instruction, place regularly.
Thank you dr lam
Anem, great to hear this from you. Tai chi is useful and enjoyable for anyone, we love to see more younger people doing tai chi. Did you watch my video "anyone can learn tai chi?" you can find it in RUclips, search my name and the title.
Thank you very much Paul Lam MD.I learned the steps and I can do the taichi.I been doing it for about a yrs or more.I can not believe how much it has help me.Reduce my pain
I do it everyday.I am getting a little better with the forms.Thank you for teaching me how to fish.You are patient and consintency and repetitive. Good taichi teacher.Thank you again
Love your comment, yes I prefer empowering , or teaching how to fish than giving fish, though I also enjoy sharing fish to people in need. So many people in this world do need mental and physical wellness, be more effective for more of us to sharing how to fish.
I've been researching over the past few days where to start with Tai Chi. What recently prompted my interest was after watching an infomercial about it via Dr. Chenge (Tai Chenge) but I thought, why not just learn more about Tai Chi before purchasing. I searched and discovered your intro video to Tai Chi and now I'm really interested and want to know more about what you have to offer, thanks for sharing, I'm excited!!
I have pretty bad health and that keeps me from working out even when I want to. This I can do even when I’m not feeling so good. Thank you for that ❤️
/A greatful person from Sweden
Great Exercises practice weightlifting without weights and pushups! You'll be fabulous! Wonderful! In no time if done EVERY day..Go for it Team!
