Begin
your daily practice by loosening up with the warm-up
exercises.
For each
movement below, carefully read the instructions, then view
the video for the movement and practice it alone. When you
are comfortable with a movement, you should practice all the
movements up to that point, ending the sequence you are practicing
with the Grand T'ai Chi. Only when you are comfortable with
the full sequence up to a movement, should you move on to
the next. You may choose to stay on a movement for many days
before incorporating the next movement into your routine.
