About this demonstration film - Exploring the four corners of T'ai Chi (Yang Long Form)
At the heart of Helen's teaching is a simple belief:
"When we reconnect mind, body and breath, we are better able to navigate life's inevitable changes with greater ease, resilience and wellbeing. T'ai Chi offers a gentle and accessible way to cultivate that connection, helping us become more aware of ourselves and how we move through the world."
Filmed in the peaceful surroundings of Wittenham Clumps and Radley Lakes,* the programme includes guidance on posture and breathing, a gentle warm-up, meditative walking practice, and demonstrations of Parts I, II and III of the Yang Style Long Form, a flowing sequence of movements practised slowly and mindfully.
