Great video!
I do this every morning! Thanks for the video!
this was amazing!
I have a question. Stepping down with right leg is heel first and stepping down with left left leg is toe first. What is the reason for this? Love it!
The 10 Postures Tai-Chi form begins after some nice warmup at 9:22
I feel great
Quarantine 2020: This is so much harder than it looks but I really enjoyed this and I'm trying to make this a daily practice!
To make it a little easier, get acquainted with Qi Gong, its more ancient predecessor. You’ll see some of the same stretches and positions of this video.
are there more tai chi videos with Helen ?
This is a lot harder than it looks! I felt like I was learning dance choreography and loved it
@@Kylink Same here...so its not just me 😉
Taichi Dance, why not!
The best Tai Chi, I've encountered this has helped me so much, Blessings Helen thank you
I have ADHD and I learned 5 years ago that tai chi is good for ADHD and so 5 years later I am finally following through and I am looking for authentic Tai Chi because if I am gonna commit I am going to commit 110% ☺️
Me too. I have ADHD and I found taichi very calmin. Hope it helps.
Wow, inspiriting
ADHD/Autism and I've practied Qi-Gong for 2 years, definitely helps my mental
She’s the real thing! She’s one of my instructors! 👍🏽
Master Helen Liang is one of the best and most understanding Teachers. Thank you for sharing.
Felt soo good after doing this...first time for me a bit hard to follow...it seems easy but its not that easy but i do it in the nature...i can feel the wind soooo good and soft 🦋🍀🙏
She's tricky started softly but then went for it but easy to follow love it 😍
Thanks - I try to do this every week and always feel great afterward!
Thanks for the begginer lesson it's especially important to do this as we get older.
Defo will practicing thank you!
This is my daily morning ritual - thank you
Grazie Master Helen Liang, 🙏
I had kung fu lessons as a young man. I fought hard and often got into trouble with the little bit of martial arts I learned. One day I hit my young brother in the chest when he tried to awaken me. I hit him so hard he landed on the opposite side of the bedroom. I knocked the breath out of him.
2 days later he was changing his clothing and I noticed a massive bruise on his chest. I pressed and asked hm what happened. He told me. From that day on, I swore off all martial arts of any kind. I struck my brother so hard his chest was blackened with bruising. I came very close to killing him. 1/2 inch lower and to his left and I would have stopped his heart. That was well over 48 years ago. Before that I was always getting in fights and rarely lost. I had great physical stamina and endurance. I could best anyone.That incident frightened me so much that to this day I have never practiced any kind of martial arts. After that if I got into fights, I would stop fighting and allow myself to be beaten and deliberately lost fights, so as not to harm anyone with what I was able to do. But now I'm getting old. In a year and a half I will be 70 years old. I'm fat and in poor health.
I have grown somewhat more wise than when I was young. I am familiar with many of the motions of Tai-Chi. Even today the memories of my Kung-Fu fighting and practice still remain. I feel the energy that can come from martial arts training. Most of the power that once came natural to me are now gone. I have a heart condition, many old injuries including bone injuries and I am in constant pain.
But I feel that I can benefit from learning Tai-Chi and it's gentle motion. I feel that I am ready to resume proper martial arts training. I am in no shape or condition to harm anyone. My aged body will stop me from doing any real harm to anyone. The heart and the arthritis in my bones will keep me under control. Tai-Chi may in fact help me to recover some of my former physical motion and strength. But I have no one to teach or to train me. So I will content myself with trying to learn from these beautiful and well made videos that demonstrates the proper method of Tai-Chi. I will never be the impulsive young man again that I once was. But I am hoping that by learning and studying Tai-Chi, that my body will heal itself and I can regain some of my former health and vigor. I just hope that I'm not too late.
Super good exercise
I really enjoy this routine. Thank you!
Love it!
Regular practitioner of qi gong here & finally decided to try Tai Chi. Thank you for the beautiful music and relaxing postures.
Such a great video. I'm not so great with coordination, especially watching this mirrored. It was so helpful to hear "left hand down, right hand up" and other specific instructions. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I have taken different tai chi classes [in person] and this is one of the best step by step I have found. Plus you can repeat a step until you get it.
I like this, its comfort for me as a begginer
I am at peace with my self when I'm watching your program thank you so much
You are a great teacher please do more Taichi videos 😊
I have just started Tai Chi. Thank you
By far my preferred, authentic Tai Chi instructor. I’ll learn from her! It’s a beautiful ‘choreography’.
This video really covers many of the warm up cycles that are necessary before starting Chi Gong!
that was really nice to so this morning. thank you!
God bless you 🙏 ❤
thank you so much
Helen Lieng is amazing!!! She makes it look so easy! The video is exactly what I was looking for, thank you 😊
HI Helen, I salute and respect you as Tai Chi Qigong. I am one of your Subscriber now. Thanks for sharing.
Please if you have time to visit my channel too I am also Qigong Practitioners. if you likes and subscribers , comments i am very happy for that.
This is just stretching movements.. basic stuff... do it carefully n MINDFULLY.
I learned this form its really nice wow what an athlete
The ultimate video I can finally understand unlike others I've seen from other people! Also best invirement!!!
Omg I had no idea that the body has so many subtleties
Caught me off guard with the high kicks! Awesome lesson Miss Liang!
I have have been practicing Tai Chi from this video for many years. I am an old guy in Bastrop Tx and your video has enriched my health and wellness daily for all this time. I embrace Tai Chi often in my private mental health practice. Please let me know any way that I can support you other than a follow and a thumbs up.
Hello, and thank you for the excellent video. The first time, I tried to follow Ms. Liang's words and I found it extremely challenging. The second time, I just followed her movements and found it easier. I think if the video was mirrored so her words and the images reflect the same sides, it would be even better!
I tried a lot of different tai chi videos and i like this best so far good video
谢谢师傅
when the 10 movement portion started, i had to stop it, restart it, and mirror it haha. could not follow through with my brain having to convert hearing "right" and "seeing left". its a wonder i didnt end up like a preztel that first run. second time around tho, even tho i know my form is very wrong, at least i was able to keep up!!
will definitely revisit this channel
😄 I was the same Clara. I started again, turning the sound off, and put on some music which made it easy to follow.
Thank you for the lesson
Thank you very much Master. Wishing all the best to you and family. Student from Sydney, Australia.
Thanks for sharing a very useful video. The first two positions are especially useful for me as a less coordinated person who is new to this form of exercise.
Thank you.
In december 2019, i trained with lead of real chinese shaolin master. Then the pandemic started and i forgot tai chi for almost two years. Now, i've started training again and ordered book of tai chi that has very good instructions of movements. This martial art has some very deep effects on us. Bao Quan Li to you master Liang!
Much better then FREAKING YOGA 😝
Thank you!
A great way to start my day.
Love it.. thank you! ❤️💖💜
Thank you so much for my first tai chi workout, it was so amazing to do something different out of my comfort zone, definitely will be watching and learning more from your videos😊 Much love from New Zealand🇳🇿❤️
this was a beautiful class. i will be returning once a week. thank you so much !
Tai chi
S0 I'm greatful for that I can stand up and attempt to do this
secondly I enjoy listening to every single bone in my body crack in every position possible and
thirdly I have realised that I am as coordinated as a coconut
I WILL SUCCEED 💗💗💗
Thank you! Your very skilled!😊
Beautiful! Thank you ♥️
I decided today, after months of procrastination, to commit to learning taichi. I've been practicing qigong for nearly two years, but taichi always seemed rather daunting to me. But I think I'm ready for the commitment. It's going to take a while, but here it goes :*) I like the slow, detailed way of your instruction.
How does it go/ did it go? I've also practiced Qi-Gong for about 2 years now, and I'm starting to think about Tai-Chi, but yes this looks very difficult. So much left/right lol I get super confused.
I am recovering from a pilon fracture to my ankle and will be incorporating Tai Chi as part of my recovery when I am cleared to do so. This video presentation is excellent.
I've been dealing with some tendinitis issues, this still allows me to incorporate some physical activity into my day, which is nice.
Please try this- take a warm, comfortable bath+ 1 third or less of borax tin the water,, 2x weekly, using oil, massage then tweeze the sore areas, avoid contact with dark spots, guide the tweezer over lighter and white areas of skin, use arc and spiral motion for - massage and tweezing. Buff afterwards with a rough cloth.I have resolved many longterm problems once getting wise to this amazing curative method. Important to also massage scalp, and scale hands, wrists, feet, ankles, etc. as toxins are released through the skin, your circulation will greatly improve.Daily, attention to different areas gets results, gradually, you feel and see remarkable improvement.Check out the various massage and acupressure videos, too. Hope you have been doing better. Tai chi, yes, mind/body therapy, less swelling of the body than most physical activities. Also, avoid over-exposure to intense heat, again, to avoid swelling. Take care!
Helen is amazing!!! Best instructor I’ve found and seen! Does she do more videos? Thank you for sharing!

Excellent style
This is beautiful to watch. The explanation is very clear and helpful to follow!
Helen really reminds me of one my past students in China. She looks so pretty & peaceful in her pink & black flowery tshirt with stunning backdrop of nature & green trees. The sound of flowing water is lovely. We always did Tai Chi in the quietest places in China with the sound of birds, music & water. The atmosphere of this video is one of zen relaxation with muscular stretch. Ideal 'post natal peace' & before doing a more dynamic form of Tai Chi, Qi Gong or Kung Fu with Jake Mace. It's a perfect warm up. Thank you Helen 4 this serene few minutes of 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' 4 brain & body in a park with U 2, music from China & Harmony with Chi, Tea, & French Brie
Thank you for sharing your routines. I love all your steps, and will be using it. easy to follow
Simply great!
Thank you Helen ✨💖🙏🦋 this was my first time trying tai chi and I really liked the way you guided us by preparing first with getting familiar with the movement then adding the flow xoxoxox
This was amazing.
This is great, I've just started with the video. It would be better for the presenter to show the moves standing with her back visible. After trying to catch up with the moves, I am not certain if left is still left or right still right. Won't be giving up on this. I've really enjoyed it.
It felt real…. Thank you. I now love Tai Chi..
I finally got the "Taichi" step by watching your wonderful instructions. I tried and tried with others but kept making mistakes.
Thanks,🙏👏👏👏
I love this, can someone point me to a series of vids so I have another level to work towards
I wish I'd read the comments before I started lol! This is alot harder than it looks, but feel so much better for trying. Will definitely make this a daily habit.
Thanks so much for sharing. I've just started tai chi videos and find this inspiring. Thank you.
Ms. Helen Liang is so tiny and reminds me of the me I used to be, but back then I used a mini-trampoline. As I have gotten older, I have attempted every in-home exercise from Leslie Sansone to Joyce Vedral to Richard Simmons, etc. and the workouts were not effective. Thank you Helen for teaching me something that is real. You are not fake. You are a lady. Kindly point me in the direction of which of your DVDs I should buy?
She has a DVD "Tai Chi for Women Beginners Exercises" on amazon. I came here to see what was on the video. :)
@@helpfulnatural Thank you so much! Are you already into Tai Chi?
@@leiannlynnrosespontaneo8502 Not at the moment. But while shopping for fitness DVD's on amazon I found her video.
I feel so accomplished today! I started watching this video about a year and a half ago maybe longer and I was able to actually do the whole exercise. ❤🎉🎉😊 it also helps when I have a stiff back or legs.
My hands were really buzzing after that. Thank you x
Finally, a legit tai chi video
Back in 2024 and I love love love this 20-minute tutorial.
0:33
Lovely! i like that the instructions are dubbed as well
You live in heaven 😮
Been doing this daily for a week now. Challenging but worth it!
I got incredibly lost but still found it quite nice.
Me: alright this seems pretty easy actually I can see the progress
Helen after 9 minutes of warm-up: "Now we're ready for an actual Tai Chi form"
Me: oh...
ok
Grazie, 🙏
Brilliant!
Lovely!
I don't think I did the move quite right but I did my best and it felt really fluid and calming. Thank you!
I miss doing Tai Chi. I know a little bit of it. I love it. 💖 Okay did about ten minutes. That's a start. 😊
Yes Helen 👏
Ty master
nice. will practice this.
I've been practicing Yang style Tai Chi for about ten years now oh, and I recently started teaching my mother. And I discovered how difficult it is to try and verbally describe all the different things that your body has to do simultaneously to perform these motions correctly.
Is Tai Chai is like Yoga?
Similar but Tai Chi is more about relaxation while yoga is more about flexibility
@@KingNerdius oh ok. Is alot concentration??
