Tai Chi Tip #11

Postural Alignment – Imagine a string attached to your head gently pulling you up to the sky – keep knees slightly bent.

When you practice your Tai Chi form imagine you are under water – feel the slight resistence of the water in every movement.

Inner smile – keep the corners of your mouth up when practicing your Tai Chi – helps avoid tensing your facial muscles or grimacing 🙂

Waist leads the arms – e.g. Tai Chi Grasping the bird’s tail – move your waist & allow your arms to follow – think waist not arms.

Be aware of Yin & Yang in your form – e.g. Left leg forward: Left leg & right arm are Yang – Right leg and left arm are Yin.
