Instructor: David-Dorian Ross.

U.S. and world t'ai chi medalist David-Dorian Ross' clear, masterful instruction is captured live in this DVD. The result is more candid, thoughtful expression with pointers that both sharpen your form and deepen the benefits. David guides eight essential t'ai chi ch'uan poses, from Parting the Horse's Mane to the empowering Crane Spreads Wings. A total-body workout that is more physically charged than its sister practice qigong, this is like a martial arts "dance", with breathing and mental imagery techniques that intensify the effects. Includes 5 ways to learn T'ai Chi: Introduction & Preparation, The Solo Forms, Flowing Practice Demonstration, and BONUS AM Chi for Beginners.
