More than just tai chi, you'll also learn first-thing-in-the-morning stretches, self-massage and acupressure. Mark Johnson begins with 23 minutes of detailed information on techniques to lessen high blood pressure, improve arthritis, strengthen your immune system and reduce insomnia. Then, it's a 4-minute, very rejuvenating "follow along" Tai Chi workout. That's followed by 30 minutes of careful instruction on the moves used in that workout – ten gentle tai chi moves (each with a focus on healing and regeneration, not martial arts). Mark's approach is low-key and non-intimidating.

Why is Tai Chi so popular these days? And why do 180 MILLION people worldwide practice Tai Chi every day? It is because those who do practice every day have a longer, more active life than those who don't, and their health potential increases dramatically. Other exercises dissipate your energy, while Tai Chi accumulates it, leaving you feeling refreshed when you finish. The slow, dance-like speed of Tai Chi creates balance, flexibility and calmness. With an emphasis on deep breathing and using mental imagery, Tai Chi integrates your mind with your body, and is very effective at relieving stress.

Recent medical studies confirm what these Tai Chi practitioners have known for centuries - that just 20 minutes a day of Tai Chi can dramatically improve your balance (and significantly cut the risk of falls among older people), improve your leg and lower body strength, increase flexibility, help with arthritis pain, aid in the recovery of injuries, and a recent study presented at the American Heart Association meeting even found that just 12 weeks of Tai Chi resulted in a small but significant drop in blood pressure in older people.

Not all Tai Chi programs, though, have as their focus health and healing. In fact most Tai Chi styles come from a martial arts background where the main focus was on effective fighting, with any health benefit just a side benefit. That is where our Tai Chi program is different. Our Tai Chi style is called Chi Kung/Tai Chi, and it was developed from the healing arts called Chi Kung rather than from the martial arts. And since our Chi Kung/Tai Chi style focuses on the health aspects of Tai Chi, it can allow you to more quickly and easily access the health benefits of Tai Chi compared to the martial Tai Chi styles. How effective is our exclusive Chi Kung/Tai Chi style? With over 500,000 videos of our program sold, we know that people find our program easy to learn.
