I'd love to try this...living in the wilds of Tasmania I may have to buy DVDs, but thanks for reminding me I wanted to try it.

^^^ Tai Chi is hard to do really well, but there is much to be gained by starting the process and allowing yourself to improve.

I bet a motivated person with a great name like "RhiannonsMoon" could make a go of it with DVDs alone.

Good luck.

I PT started and got a few at home things to do, basically stretching. In the rehab center, I stand between parallel bars and tap a the corner of a a board on a rocker. The goal is to tap the corner without rocking it. Need those bars tho'. Also I stand with my eyes closed and try to stay steady. I do baby lunges while holding the bars. What I am happy about is that I did 3 minutes on the bike, low resistance of course, at 40 mph and did not get fatigued. It is all baby steps, but I am feeling better just doing something to help myself

I've been looking for a class for seniors in Tai Chi Chua. Looks like it allows me to keep both feet on the floor at the same time. Just the thought of lifting one leg makes me start to topple over.

I can only do that if I am holding on to the bars. Otherwise it as if I am stopping off at the bars.

Hang in there, Gramma. Go at your own pace. You may find, as you go along and get a little stronger, that you are able to lift a leg as you go through the form.
