Tai Chi

If you’ve ever seen a group of people moving in exquisitely graceful dance-like exercises in your local park, gym, or community center, you have witnessed the ancient Chinese arts of tai chi (taiji) and qigong. These ordinary people are improving their health, strength, balance, concentration, and mental well-being—and they are having fun while doing it! Best of all, you can enjoy all these benefits yourself, regardless of your current level of physical fitness.

More than just tai chi, you'll also learn first-thing-in-the-morning stretches, self-massage and acupressure. Mark Johnson begins with 23 minutes of detailed information on techniques to lessen high blood pressure, improve arthritis, strengthen your immune system and reduce insomnia. Then, it's a 4-minute, very rejuvenating "follow along" Tai Chi workout. That's followed by 30 minutes of careful instruction on the moves used in that workout – ten gentle tai chi moves (each with a focus on healing and regeneration, not martial arts). Mark's approach is low-key and non-intimidating.

The 'Best' Way to Learn Tai Chi: The Tai Chi Mastery Program contains over 65 hours of lessons on DVDs and online. Although this will never take the place of a real teacher, I feel this program this will enable these teachings to reach those who do not have the time or money to attend events. It is also important for those who don't have a high-level teacher nearby. This program contains master-level lessons that you can watch over and over for years to come. This is invaluable to anyone who is a committed student of tai chi. Some of my best teachings are included that I have NEVER released publically, material many teachers just don't know. You can watch a master do a form, but very few can pull out all the details that make that form powerful. I will also mention here that we are in the process of scheduling some LIVE Tai Chi Mastery Program member-only events in the future - so stay tuned.
