Yang Style Tai Chi 10 Step | Beginner-Friendly Tai Chi Exercises for Small Spaces | Follow Along
Discover the benefits of Yang Style Tai Chi with this compact 10 Step routine, featuring some of the most important and recognisable movements in traditional Yang Style Tai Chi.
Demonstrated by Deyin Institute-trained instructor Alissa Powell, this accessible sequence brings together ten essential Tai Chi movements in a simple, flowing routine that can be practised in a small space.
Unlike longer Tai Chi forms that require more room to move, this sequence involves stepping left and right, making it ideal for practising at home, in the office, or wherever space is limited.
The movements are demonstrated in a mirrored format, allowing you to follow along easily and learn at your own pace.
