About this item

Product Description As you see in the reviews, this DVD program has changed people's lives. This world acclaimed DVD instructional (presented by the 2009 World Internal Arts Hall of Famer and acclaimed Tai Chi author, Bill Douglas) is unlike any Tai Chi DVD out there in terms of user-friendliness and accessibility. Why? It breaks down a long form of Tai Chi into digestible easy user-friendly lessons that teach both Tai Chi and Qigong Meditation in real time just like being in one of his classes, and the 5 star reviews reflect that quality. It doesn't just exhibit the forms and exercises, but rather explains exactly what you should be feeling inside as you perform them. On the DVD's easy to use menu, you will be able to choose from the "Sitting Qigong Meditation" or "Moving Qigong Warm Up" or the "19 Tai Chi Lessons," and the Tai Chi Lessons are broken down into 2 parts: 1) In studio instruction with a plain white background, so you can see what the instructor is doing with no distractions, where he breaks down each movement into easy to follow detailed explanations. 2) After learning a few movements, it offers a Practice Session in a lovely tranquil setting in nature, where you can then practice the few movements you have learned in one flowing Tai Chi form. This is repeated throughout the nearly 4 hour DVD, so that you can "feel the flow" of the Tai Chi form as you learn it in easy to follow lesson bytes. The presenter has honed a uniquely modern and highly effective approach to Tai Chi that works, and can work for anyone, even those dealing with serious health issues. For nearly 25 years he has evolved this approach teaching in some of the world's largest health institutions and for major corporations, teaching Tai Chi as a health and wellness, and personal improvement technology, and his students, readers, and this DVDs users have often seen profound benefits in all aspects of their lives. This program does not just teach Tai Chi, it teaches a new approach to how we do everything in our lives--learning how to do everything we do with less effort and more power. Review "An excellent introduction to this ancient health art." -- Book List Magazine, September, 2002 Bill Douglas has done for Qigong what Apple did for the computer . . . he's brought it to the people. --R Poccia, Stress Management Director, San Francisco's Beyond Anonymous "Douglas gives the best of Tai Chi, in simple terms using American culture, requiring no grounding in Chinese culture." --Sifu Hong Yijiao, U.S. Tai Chi Forms Grand Champion "Visionary, all you need to learn to change your life." --Dr. Michael Steward, Team USA Senior Coach, World Martial Arts Hall of Famer From the Contributor My world acclaimed 4 hour DVD instructional program is the result of many years of research into how to make Tai Chi & Qigong immediately useful and profoundly beneficial to the larger public.
