15-Min Tai Chi Workout 🔥 Burn Belly Fat & Improve Full Body Mobility After 50

Welcome. We're going to do a really simple tai chi flow. Five movements that is going to get you more coordinated, more grounded, and just more centered in your space. So join us by finding a nice relaxed wuji position. Keeping some softness coming up from the joints of the ankles, knees, and hips. Feeling our center. And we're going to begin with three grounding breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Right now just relax. Let yourself get deeper into the experience of the body. So we can begin exploring some of those tai chi concepts. And settle into wuji. Connect to the crown of the head. Gently lifting. Feet rooting. Giving us a sense of our vertical line. And breath is natural. And we're going to begin with kaisho or qi shou. Raising hands. Raise the body to raise the arms. Raise the arms to raise the hands. Feel the movement come up from the ground. Lifting the crown of the head. Being expressed out in the arms. And as always just relax. And be present with your movement. Soften the elbows. Relax the knees. Feel those work together. Arms like ribbons. Flowing alongside the movement of the body. In this movement there is no clear yin or yang hand. Both hands are doing the same job. Rising. Lowering. Opening. Closing. So we're going to now create a yin hand and a yang hand. So the yin hand anchors. The yang hand rises. We can switch. An anchoring base hand. And a rising hand. Sometimes we can say active and passive. But I enjoy an anchoring grounding hand. Action hand. Top hand. These other different ways we can interact with that same concept. So this is a variation of yin and yang palms. Now whenever you're ready we're going to change this into kai ho. Opening and closing. Arms raised. Lifting the arms to lift the hands. Using the hands to express the opening and closing of the movement. Open the tiger's mouth which is the thumb and forefinger. And feel the whole hand helping describe this movement. Gaze is active yet relaxed in your space. Noticing the hands. Noticing the horizon. Just like our previous move there's no yin or yang hand yet. But we can create that. So on this next round we're going to create an anchoring hand. And the hand crosses midline. Circles over. And we switch. Crosses midline. And now there's a slight turning of the body. Feel the arm wrap and open. Wrap and open. And the gaze follows and returns to center. This helps orient us in our space. Find a little rise and fall. And to create some more balance and harmony in our movement we're going to switch and do the other circle. So now the arm lifts and comes over towards the other hand. Use the other hand as a reference. Lifts and comes over and back. So the right hand should always be able to find the left hand. And the left hand should always be able to find the right hand. So the yang hand can find the yin hand and so forth. And now we're going to take this move into our basic smaller grounding circles. We close out this simple practice. So just notice that the hands are now sharing the intention. Lifting. Lowering. Opening. Closing. Three large grounding circles. And returning to wuji. Just standing and relaxing. Connecting with your practice. All right. Shake it out a little bit. Walk your space. Nice job.
