Tai Chi Exercises Covered During the Training

Here are the key Tai Chi Qigong exercises covered during our training at Pure Soul Yoga School. Specific exercises may vary depending on the program and level of training.

Tai Chi Warm-Up

These exercises are designed to warm up the body and prepare it for Tai Chi practice. They include gentle movements such as arm swings, waist rotations and ankle circles, releasing stiffness and inviting softness into every joint before deeper work begins.

Silk Reeling Exercises

A series of spiral movements that help develop internal power and whole-body coordination. Practitioners twist and spiral the body in different directions while maintaining relaxed, fluid movement — the foundation of advanced Tai Chi practice.

Tai Chi Forms

Tai Chi forms are choreographed sequences of movements performed in a specific order. Many styles exist, each with its own unique forms, all designed to cultivate balance, coordination and relaxation. Learning forms is an essential part of the practice.

Qigong Breathing

Qigong breathing exercises cultivate deep, relaxed breathing — essential for Tai Chi practice. These may involve breathing into different parts of the body, such as the lower abdomen, and coordinating the breath precisely with each movement.

Five-Element Qigong

This form of Qigong is based on the five elements of Chinese philosophy — wood, fire, earth, metal and water — and involves movements that correspond to each element. The exercises are designed to balance the body's energy and promote overall health and well-being.

Standing Qigong

A static Qigong practice where the practitioner stands in a specific posture for an extended period. The posture aligns the body and promotes the flow of energy, while the stillness itself cultivates deep focus, patience and presence.
