thank you so much I have been wanting to exercise with Tai Chi and Quigong two years ago but this is the only time that I appreciate the details - cognition and affect involved in this. Bless you for all the details. I am 64 years old and I'll try to master as you have described and directed.

Thankyou Simon. I've been tinkering with Tai Chi and Qigong between my Yoga sessions for awhile now, so thanks for the sample lessons. The breathing and the proper stance have always been a major concern of mine until now. Thankyou

Hi Al Simon, Thank you for the link "Practicing with multiple sclerosis or limited mobility" which is really very useful to people like me... You are simply great & Thanks

Hi Dear Simon, This is Durga aged 41yrs female from India... I am lucky that I got you pls... I really felt good on lifting water & Hold the sky with both palms... BUT as I am a physically handicapped one ( my left leg (from hip to toes) I cannot stand and i feel very weigh while stand & walk... Is there any special technices to strenghhen my lower body pls??? However i will learn all the level at my best to feel my body functioning & improve my health & mind as goog as posible pls... Warm Regards, Durga

Yes, our Complete Course has exercises that can help you improve mobility and function in the lower body. But I would suggest first adapting the movements to your limited mobility, and gradually work up to the movements that focus more on the legs. Just look about a question or two above. There's a link to help people who are practicing with limited mobility.

I once had Taichi and Chigong lesson which I loved to learn long time ago. But I forgot step by step movement of it. I thank you for the new session for the movement, It is helpful. I looking forward the further session.

I have M.S. and was concerned that I need to hold on to a walker while standing or walking because of poor balance. But your answer to the other comments with similar conditions answered some of the questions I had. Will this help(when I really get into it) with my balance and hopefully, I pray, Walking Again? Thank you, Karalee

Hi Kay - We've recently been discussion how to practice with M.S. and limited mobility on our private support forum. I just posed some of this information in my blog.. You might want to take a look at it: Practicing with multiple sclerosis or limited mobility

I cannot stand up to do the exercises, since the computer screen is at seated level.(I guess I would have to memorize the movements after all)

We DON'T want you practicing Tai Chi in front of a TV or a computer monitor. That approach is time-consuming and counter-productive to Chi Development. So with our program, you don't play the video and try to follow us. In our program, you use the video to get an overall idea of how the movements look, but you use the text and photos to get the details for the movements and customize the movements for yourself - according to your own strengths and weaknesses. What our students with limited space in their computer rooms or without a computer in their practice room do is this. They watch the video portions of our program on their PCs just to get an idea of the movements, then print out the text and photos. They take the print-outs to their practice space to work on the details and on customizing the movements for themselves. If they forget how a move goes or if the printed photo is not clear, they may go back to their PC to watch the movement and examine the high-quality photos, but then they go back to their practice space to work. I realize this is quite a bit different from what you might expect in a Tai Chi program - but unlike most Tai Chi instructors, we are not intending to produce "monkeys" who can follow along with us or copy us. We're intending to have you get the most benefits by customizing the movements for your body ... right from your first lesson. You know, we have over 3100 registered students for our computer-based courses, and many had misgivings about learning in this format. While not everyone can make the transition to "not following along", it's actually much more like studying with the high-level Tai Chi masters I studied with. We spent almost no time following along with these masters. They may demonstrate a movement a few times with us watching, but rarely did they do the movements in front of us with us following. Instead, we spent a majority of the time working on our own in learning the skills involved.
