Most people rush the start.

They collect instructions, corrections, principles — and miss the moment where Tai Chi actually begins.

This live session looks at that moment.

Not adding more technique, but removing what gets in the way.

We’ll explore simple preparatory steps that allow movement to organise itself — so effort drops, awareness sharpens, and the form starts to move you, rather than the other way round.

If you’ve ever felt that your Tai Chi should feel easier than it does, this session is for you.

There is no single correct way to start a form — only appropriate ways.

What we’ll work on

• Different ways of beginning the form — looking at techniques of heels together or feet apart?
• Skin listening and whole-body attention
• Alignment, structure, and weight without stiffness
• Undoing habits and using imagination intelligently

The start of the form isn’t where movement begins.

It’s where unnecessary effort ends.

Live Session now over — but recording of session, with back up files, audio, extra videos still available.
