A Message from Pat Akers
Hello! I’ve taught Tai Chi for over 24 years. My creative team and I created Tai Chi for Body and Mind Fitness so you can have a Tai Chi teacher at home and practice along with me.
This gentle, beautiful practice can be done by people of all ages, body types and ability levels. I’ve always said, if you can walk, you can do Tai Chi. You can even do Tai Chi from a chair.
While you’re learning Tai Chi with my easy-to follow tai chi video lessons, just relax and have fun with it. Think of it as play. When children play, they are relaxed and comfortable in their bodies. There is that same, playful quality to Tai Chi. Those who practice it are referred to as “Tai Chi players” because you try to be as easy and carefree in your body as you were when you were a child. You perform these movements in an effortless way, focusing on your breath and balance, from moment to moment.
Let’s play Tai Chi!
