Good to know
Plain answers for anyone thinking about starting.
Tai Chi is usually learned as a connected sequence of movements. Qigong often uses shorter movements that are repeated. Both can be practiced slowly and adapted for beginners.
Many people find Qigong easier to begin because the movements are shorter and repeatable. Tai Chi may suit someone who enjoys learning a longer flowing sequence. There is no wrong place to start.
No previous experience is expected. A good beginner class starts slowly. Tell Greg about any balance concerns before beginning.
Choose comfortable clothing that lets you move freely and flat, secure shoes. No special equipment is needed.
The videos are introductions and reminders. They do not replace personal instruction or medical advice.
