Feeling scattered or low-energy? This energizing Tai Chi movement might be just what you need. In this video, I’ll teach you how to do TURN THE BODY, SWEEP THE LOTUS—movement 36 of the Tai Chi short form.

This move combines a full-body spin with a slow, balanced kick. It’s a little quicker and more playful than many Tai Chi moves, and a great way to sharpen your focus, challenge your balance, and bring your energy up.

I’ll walk you through the spin, knee lift, and full kick stages step by step—and show you how to modify if the spin is too intense. You’ll also get a short practice to help you warm up and feel more confident doing this move.
