Sun Style Tai Chi Basic 6 Form

 

This video shows you the six basic Sun Style Tai Chi exercises. The movements are shown in the standing and seated positions. The seated position is used to help those who are disabled or have health issues, which should not hinder someone from learning this art form 
of moving meditation. 
 
The instructors perform the movements (forms) more than once, 
which allows you to practice, understand, and learn how to do them. The movements are being shown as if you are looking into a mirror. 
It holds down the confusion for those of us who have problems knowing the right from the left.

'A Moving Meditation':
St. Louisans use tai chi to bring peace, 
fight health problems

Tai chi is a martial art. But at this St. Louis association, 
it's not about the external fight, but rather, the internal one.
