Tai Chi Movements to Enhance Balance and Flexibility

This foundational Tai Chi movement helps improve balance by requiring practitioners to shift their weight from one foot to the other while coordinating arm movements

In this move, you alternate stepping forward and extending your arms, resembling the action of brushing a horse’s mane.

As one of the best Tai Chi movements for improving balance, this pose involves standing on one leg while lifting the other knee and raising your arms

This movement involves slow, sweeping arm motions combined with a gentle shift of weight. It promotes flexibility in the arms and shoulders 

This involves stepping backward with alternating hands reaching behind, mimicking a defensive motion

A more advanced Tai Chi movement, this pose requires a deep squat and a low, slow movement, which stretches the legs and improves hip flexibility.

In this movement, practitioners shift their weight side-to-side while their arms move in a fluid, circular motion.
