Hi guys and welcome to 10-minute Tai Chi with me, Ben. Today we'll be doing the entire Tai Chi Ba Sha form. This is about nine steps in total. We just want to get our body used to the rhythm and the movement of this form. If you do want a step-by-step breakdown of the form you can check one of my older videos.

So we'll start with our feet together, hands nice and relaxed, body nice and relaxed, face nice and relaxed. We can take a deep inhale and on our exhale sinking down, stepping the left foot out, shifting the weight onto the floor. The arms rise with the body and fall with the body.
