You will explore: • Foundational body principles        （身法） ​ How to stand, relax, align, and move from the center in a way that feels natural and sustainable. • Essential Tai Chi postures and transitions       （架式与过渡） Opening and closing, weight shifting, stepping, and coordinated movement that connects the whole body. • Basic qigong principles      （气功要领） Breath, awareness, softness, and how to calm the nervous system through practice. • Fundamental Tai Chi methods       （手法、步法、劲路） Basic stepping patterns, introductory hand methods, direction, intention, and moving with clarity rather than force. • Principles for long‑term practice How Tai Chi develops over time, and how to build a rhythm that fits your life. Most students learn these elements gradually over the nine hours of the program. Some focus more on stability, some on coordination, some on breath and awareness. Your teacher will offer suggestions based on what supports your learning most naturally. The goal is not to master everything at once, but to begin with clarity, steadiness, and ease.
