Join us in this video and together we will:
Take a closer look at the movement, "Playing the Lute"
(Also known as; Playing the Pipa, Strumming the Guitar)
While we will continue to develop our full torso rotation, leg strength and balance, we will also focus on the footwork for the slide or half step as was also used in stepping up for "Stork Cools Its Wings."
Playing the Lute will provide greater opportunity to highlight mobilizing the wrists and ankles for range of motion and mobility.
Additionally, we will share a simple stationary exercise for practicing the postural cues, the rotation of the torso and the fluidity of the arm movements in Playing the Lute.

Instead of being overly concerned with the need to get each movement right, we would encourage you to simply get started and to enjoy the process of practicing. It is more important to cultivate an approach to Tai Chi that is holistic, healthy, and enjoyable enough to make your personal practice sustainable.

Here we will provide both technical clarity and encouragement for the enjoyment TaI Chi Chuan.

PLEASE NOTE:
As the movements of Tai Chi can be both simple and complex, Tai Chi practice provides each practitioner the opportunity for a lifetime of growth and improvement.
It is far more important to simply begin the practice of Tai Chi, than it is to demonstrate any particular competence with the practice of Tai Chi.
Individual improvement comes from asking the body and brain to meet new challenges. Our growth occurs in that asking, more than in meeting the challenges. Once you are able to meet one level of challenge in Tai Chi, another level appears. Thus we are all new students, ever on the edge of our current challenges.

Please enjoy the play and the practice of Tai Chi. This video is meant to stimulate growth and enjoyment in equal measure. I hope that you enjoy playing Tai Chi with us.
