This program includes five unique routines filmed in five stunning locations across the American West (California coast, Red Rock Arizona, and the Rocky Mountains). Each routine takes you through bioenergetic training, including breathwork, exercise, and meditative movements designed to maximize the energetic potential of the human body.

Session 1: Tiger | Detox

Session 2: Snake | Mobility

Session 3: Dragon | Flexibility

Session 4: Phoenix | Balance

Session 5: Bear | Strength

This program also includes the following bonus videos: "What Is Bioenergy?, Basic Stances, Goal Setting for the Program" and "Who Is Nick?"

The purpose of this program is to give you a direct experience of the unity of your body and mind. We can’t train the body without affecting the mind. We can’t train the mind without affecting the body. The medium between the two, we call “bioenergy.”

MEMBERS! The Tai Chi 24 form is now added to your Traditional Tai Chi Forms playlist. Learn the most popular form of Tai Chi with step-by-step details by Master Helen Liang. Access to this full-length instructional video is for YouTube channel Members only. We thank you for being here.

Below for your reference are the movements of the official Tai Chi 24-form, which is often referred to as the "Simplified" form. Because tai chi is passed down in an oral tradition, forms tend to slowly evolve and change based on the students and the teacher's understanding, body type, and preferences. But, this Simplified 24-form is standardized and is used in performances and competitions around the world. The form listed and shown below is an authentic and accurate version of the 24-form. The author's father, Grandmaster Liang Shou-Yu, was a student and then a teacher of tai chi in China at the time this form was created and popularized.
