New You Tube video of Yang taiji 24-form showing how students at Calm Chicago learn the upper body and lower body movements separately and then put them together.
Makes learning taiji a bit easier by allowing students to build up mindfulness as they train. The focus? – keeping practice simple.
The more we can practice and keep the taiji very simple. without a lot of fancy concepts, the more we can build up our mindful, single-pointed focus.
We’re in no hurry. Piece by piece.
Thanks for stopping by, Hillary
