Tai Chi Chuan is a kind of moving meditation with ancient roots in
Chinese martial arts. In this program, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming teaches you
the complete traditional Yang-style long form step-by-step, while
explaining the meaning of each movement.
Yang Tai Chi is the most popular style in the world, and it is practiced
by millions of people every day. By practicing Tai Chi, you relax the
mind and body deeply, which is the key to maintaining and improving your
health. When you are calm and centered, your body's natural restorative
abilities are most efficient.
Regular practice can benefit your strength, flexibility, bone-density,
and muscle mass. The low-impact exercise has been shown to improve
symptoms of depression and insomnia, and promote the healing of chronic
conditions. Tai Chi is an excellent way to relieve stress, lower your
blood pressure, and develop a positive attitude toward life. Tai Chi
will increase your circulation of blood, nutrients, and energy
throughout the body, resulting in improved vitality and longevity.
Master Yang instructs the complete Tai Chi form from the front, and
shows each movement one-by-one from multiple angles. There is also a
rear view of the form that you can simply follow-along with once you're
familiar with the movements.
Tai Chi will develop your mind's alertness, awareness, and
concentration. Most importantly, as you practice, pay attention to the
feeling within the movements, so you may appreciate the profound essence
of Tai Chi Chuan.

Additional Information
Dr. Yang's tai chi lineage can be traced back to the Yang family through
Grandmaster Kao, Tao (高濤) and his teacher Yue, Huanzhi (樂奐之), an indoor
disciple of Yang, Chengfu (楊澄甫).
"The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi" says: "regular
practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and
mobility, and a sense of well-being. Cutting-edge research from Harvard
Medical School also supports the long-standing claims that Tai Chi also
has a beneficial impact on the health of the heart, bones, nerves and
muscles, immune system, and the mind."
