Muchas gracias,necesitaba este video para regresar a mis prácticas,después de tres años muy tristes 😢❤

[@YogaLilyStudio]

De nada Carmen, te deseo un maravilloso viaje de descubrimiento con tu regreso al Tai Chi. Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de practicar conmigo.😊 Lily

[@danchevalier9978]

Great sequence like a beautiful dance.

[@YogaLilyStudio]

Thank you Dan, it's a lovely practice 😊 Lily

[@pn024x9474]

So elegant - my version looks a bit different. I'll keep trying though.

[@YogaLilyStudio]

That's very kind Peter, thank you. I'm sure you're practice will be better than you think. I try not to focus on the technical aspect so much as the feeling of the flow is more important. Every time we practice will be different, some days our mood is not right, we put a foot wrong or miss a piece of the practice entirely. I prefer to worry less now about the perfect performance of the form, but on how much better/calmer/happier I feel after the practice. Thank you so much for practicing with me 😊 Lily

[@KR-Adventures]

Thank you so much for your amazing videos they are getting me back in touch with apart of me I’ve lost over the last 18 years really helping me find peace and move forward in my life Tai Chi and Qigong is the perfect type of moving meditation for me ! Very much appreciate what you do

[@rustykiley3577]

Thank you for sharing these videos with us! I've noticed each teacher does tai chi little different. Having learned the basic "moves" I've used this video to perfect my practice of tai chi. Very helpful!

[@YogaLilyStudio]

You're welcome Rusty, I'm so glad you've been able to perfect your practice of the 8 Form Tai Chi, it is a really lovely practice 😊🙏 You're correct, even though the form is fixed in its movements, each teacher brings a little of their own personality or nuance to the practices. Wishing you health and happiness in your practice, Lily

[@rustykiley3577]

I have noticed my body temperature rise after practicing 8 tai chi. I'm inside and my rhythm/speed is slow and easy. Yet I'm really warm. I've been practicing chi kung and tai chi 2 a day for 5 mths. Last several weeks is when I've noticed the rise in body heat. Is this build up chi?

[@YogaLilyStudio]

@@rustykiley3577 - Yes, it is likely that as you are practicing regularly you are beginning to feel the flow of Qi (chi) through the body, you may be noticing heat in your hands in particular, also the feet and top of the head. These are the locations of the 5 major energy gates in the body. The energy you are generating will store at the dantian, located inside the lower abdomen, approximately 2 inches below the navel, which takes time to develop, which is what you are beginning to notice. Really well done for keeping such a regular practice. 🙏 Lily

[@dlewish1]

Very Nice

[@YogaLilyStudio]

Thank you for practicing with me Jimmy, I'm so glad you enjoyed the 8 Form with me 😊 Lily

[@fernandoflores4180]

I really want to learn Tai Chi but my mind is very slow and I can't remember the movements at all, not to mention I'm practicing alone at home because and I cant find a Tai Chi school near, she is pretty and her movements are very elegant

[@YogaLilyStudio]

Thank you for practicing with me Fernando... The practices do take a little time to get used to. I find a good way to get your mind focussed on the movements is to start with the Cloud Hands practice - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHi3d6RrrsZ0rbcsi=LMWNmNQZ6ecDnK0C Find time to practice the 8 Form every day, maybe slow the video speed down by clicking on the cog icon at the bottom of the video window. Take it slow and don't worry too much about getting the movement perfect, instead just focus on the flow and feeling of the moment. Practice is key 😊 Lily

[@ticherie3605]

This is a mirron version right?? Cause i ueually start on the left??

[@YogaLilyStudio]

Hello Ti Cherie, yes you are correct this is a mirror version of the 8 Form - Thank you for practicing with me 😊 Lily

[@springhillmn]

What is the music?

[@YogaLilyStudio]

The music is lovely, it's a specially commissioned piece from the International Health Qigong Federation written for the Ming Mu Gong (eyes brightening exercise). 😊 Lily
