A comment from FlowZenSight :
"You have one of the most intelligent and intuitive ways of showing tai chi I have come across...much better than most of these self proclaimed (or even institution certified) youtube "masters". Very easy to follow and learn, thanks and subscribed!"
A comment from Patricia Kirk of Denmark:
"I saw your and Don's Tai Chi Qigong clips on You Tube, followed your link, saw some of your videos on your website and wanted to write and say how great it is to finally find Tai Chi presented in an understandable and down to earth fashion! I live in Denmark, and have been here for 28 years. Tai Chi is not a well known exercise or form for meditation here. I have wanted to learn more Tai Chi and take some Tai Chi instructors classes for years. However up until now, I have just never found anyone whose style of instruction/presentation that I wanted to use time to learn/emulate."
A comment from kungfuzzzz:
"This is my favorite for basic lessons on Tai Chi. Great instructions and fun to watch! Thanks."

Many years ago I did Tai Chi on a dayly basis to get past burn out, had to stop after shoulder surgery and forgot my figures. I have always wanted to restart and 2 years ago I found Don Fiore and started again. Turned out I had heart problems which kept me busy and on medical treatment. 2 weeks ago I restarted with this program again. My back improves and even my blood pressure and heart problems seem to improve. And I feel more relaxed about the state of the world. Thank you for this post! I feel I am healing and am ready for life again 🏃♀️
I’ve been doing these exercises now for about 3 years. It is very helpful to loosen up the body & to reduce pain. Thank you for keeping this video on TH-cam.
Glad it has been helpful.
Thank you for channel and for video. Is 3 time repeat is enough?
I’ve just come back after 5 years without. Very glad it’s still on TH-cam. I’m now 82 and had balance problems until following this video again daily.
I have seen many videos on TaiChi but this is the only one that I luckily came across explaining and demonstrating very clearly.
Mirror image is a great help

Thanks again for changing my life!!! Doing this every morning makes me feel like Superman. Your the best!!!
Happy to hear that!
I'm so grateful for this! I did this with my high school students and they loved it! It was wonderful to see their reactions at how calm and energized they felt. Some did it at home with their families!
How great that you shared the Easy Tai Chi with your high school students and then they shared it with their families! Bravo!
I did this with my 3yr old grand daughter when I visit them on extended time..now..she ask me to do it with her inspite of her many extra curricular activities...very nice famtime!!!
I really love that you have different levels and class lengths. Some days an 8 min set is all I can handle but tomorrow I may be able to do a longer one. Thanks, Don!
You're so welcome! Glad you are enjoying the different levels. Peace.
I've watched many videos that even at beginners were a bit to complex for me( i have trouble with left to right) and this was very helpful and easy. I felt like I mastered it well. I'm going to watch more of your videos as I just found them. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Many people find that the "mirror-imaging" makes it easier to follow. There are lots more on our TH-cam channel.
Thank you so much for these wonderful TH-cam videos. These are the very best I have found. The music is so relaxing and Don Fiore is such a brilliant teacher. He explains things so clearly and calmly. I am using these daily.
Glad you like them!
Relaxing just watch you move !! Great Taichi inside out !
Glad you enjoyed it!
These exercises always help me start my day and even end it off peacefully. Thank you
That's great. So glad it is helpful.
So clear and helpful. This is saving my health right now.
Glad the movements are helping your health right now. Prayers & Blessings

Hi guys!🙋♀️ I’m still going! I had a kind of creative & mental block when all “the craziness” started & I just couldn’t get myself to do my precious 8 mins with Don .. today I said “enough is enough! Take control & just DO IT” , it felt like seeing an old friend. My body & brain 🧠 was like “oh where’s this been!? I like it!” Haha. So pleased you keep this video up, thankyou🙏 I started in late sept-oct, & apart from little phases where I can’t or don’t do it, it’s totally a part of my therapy & recovery from trauma. Can’t Thankyou enough 🙏✨🌙✨
Stay healthy and well. Sending positive energy
❤
Thank you for having this up on youtube. It's very helpful for me. I'm disabled with a musculoskeletal disorder, arthritis (osteo and non-descript) , reoccurring bursitis in both hips and shoulders and reverse lordosis. The video gets right into the exercises without several mins of introductions. So I can get right to it. 🙂
That's really great to hear! Glad the video is helpful.
I have had a stroke and i have found this routine invaluable to my overall recovery. good job,
So glad to hear this. Blessings for your continued good health.
@@youtube-donfiore thanks!
Thankyou for these exercises on you tube
Hope you make them a daily practice.
These exercises are very beneficial. Relaxes my mind. Gives me balance and puts me in tranquil state of mind
So glad they are helpful.
This is one of the best intro tai chi videos. I started off with this and slowly moved to tai chi ball exercises and other movements. I recommend this to anyone even hardcore fitness folks can benefit from this as well.
Thank you Ryan

About six years ago I was doing formal tai chi but I came down with a bizarre illness that lasted five years. Was getting better when I had a setback with asthma. Now I am really very weak and on oxygen. So I went back to this video that I had seen one time ago and I can do it. I’m so grateful you put this out.
We are grateful you can use it. Blessings & Peace
After being diagnosed with Asthma I've started these exercise as I couldn't do anything! Along with going plant-based in diet, these exercise on this channel have helped me get back into doing even more. I've gotten my parents and toddler into it too! The whole fam does it.
Wow! How wonderful to hear. Keep up the good work! Blessings
@@youtube-donfiore Thank you :) We intend to for sure, I also sent your channel link to a friend as she's wanting to practice so one more person in addition now :)

I've been doing the Tai Chi and Qigong for about one month because of my hip arthritis. While I still have limitations, I have a good deal more flexibility and much less pain when sitting and getting up. Also my energy levels have improved from being tired almost all the time.
Great to hear, Anthony. Keep up a daily practice. Peace & Blessings
This is the first time I have really enjoyed doing Tai Chi. Love your method of teaching. I can follow along easily and feel better after I complete the movements. Thank you. 😊❤️
Wonderful! So glad it is helpful. Practice daily for more benefits.
最高！is excellent thank yous 😊
I first found this video a few years ago, and I've pulled it up every now and then just to follow along. A few weeks ago I pulled a hamstring and have been doing physio to help sort it out. I decided to watch this video about 10 days ago because I remember Don saying that the slow movements will help strengthen the legs. I was pretty ambitious the first day I did the exercises, because I was so used to what my body could do before the injury. The second day I was a little more reserved, didn't go quite as far as before, kept it within my new limits. I've been doing this every day since, and on top of my physio exercises I feel like I'm walking normally again. Still not as strong, I know it's a process, but I'm going to keep this small practice. I always feel the energy moving through my hands and can tell when I have blockages. Super keen to learn more about this practice. Thanks for having this uploaded :D

A couple of days ago, I posted a message stating that my doctor recommended this video. I was remiss for not explaining why. As stated, I am a Veteran. Currently, I am in a treatment program for chronic pain. Well, there is a school of thought that states a facet of treatment of chronic pain is via changing the “Homunculi Receptors.” From my understanding, Homunculi Receptors are basically the pathways in the brain which tells we are in pain (if I’m explaining this wrong, remember, I’m the patient, not the physician!). The ability of the brain to change these pathways is called, “Neuroplasticity.” What does any of this have to do with Tai Chi? Hold your horses, I’m getting to that! Well, according to Professor Moseley & Mr Butler* (and apparently, my doctor), one manner in which to change these pathways is through movement of the arms which causes one’s arms to transverse from one side of the chest to the other (they call it, “crossing the midline”) and contrived controlled deep breathing exercises. Tai Chi fits the bill. Tai Chi also checks the block for another area of treatment for those suffering with chronic pain which is exercise. The way I arrived at this video, to make a long story short, is because of the coronavirus there are no classes at the VA (Veteran’s Administration Hospital). Everyone was on lockdown. My doctor had someone, who is also a vet, familiar with Tai Chi comb TH-cam in order to identify an instructional video which would be perfect for this situation. After two weeks of searching and researching the persons posting the video, this video & Mr Don Forie were highly recommend. After having vets try this video, along with others, this video was deemed to be the best.
That said, if someone is suffering from chronic pain, watching this video and performing the steps outlined in the video may be something that you want to incorporate into your healing process. As always, check with your physician first. If someone has any questions, I’m happy to answer as best as I can. If I don’t know the answer, I maybe able to refer you to someone who can answer/assist you.
Namaste
PS
*If you want more information on Homunculi Receptors (HR) and/or the various facets of treatment for chronic pain, and about chronic pain in general, here’s a lecture by Mr. Bates. The entire video is about an hour. However, if you just want more info on HR and crossing the midline (Tai Chi), skip to about timestamp 16:05.
th-cam.com/video/4ABAS3tkkuE/w-d-xo.html
Another good video to watch, if you’re interested in chronic pain (causes, effects, treatments, etc), is by Dr Kailia. I have to warn you, unlike Mr Bates, he tells no jokes (but the video is very informative):
m.th-cam.com/video/fWnDfpLyBYE/w-d-xo.html
The last one is a short video from the Mayo Clinic:

Thank you Kti from France.
I found your tai chi in 2017 for my diabetic neuropathy stopped using it and now I can barely walk or stand without a walker. I do some form of exercise everyday and today tried this routine and I could do it without holding on to my walker, what's the scoop 😊😊
The scoop is it helped move energy. Glad you got positive results. Perhaps make it a daily practice.
I am a veteran. This video was recommended to me by my doctor.
Hope that it is helpful. Daily practice has helped many people remain healthy. Blessings & Peace
🙂gracias Im joing than's
Great! Thank you.
I have multiple problems with my lumbar spine including arthritis in the spine, knees and ankles. I'm looking forward to gaining strength, flexibility and of course pain relief
I hope it proves to be helpful. Blessings
❤
Thank you Lubica
Namaste 🙏🏼🤍
And Namaste to you as well.
💖
Hearts back to you.
This is awesome. Can anyone explain the difference between this routine and the eight brocades?
This routine helps my muscles recover quicker, but the eight brocades help my tendons and fascia. I can't do both, if I do they make me feel very tired.
Try doing one exercise one day - and another exercise another day. Everybody's body is different - so different exercises do different things to different people.
I really wish the full lesson was available somewhere because I just could not find it and this is the best tai chi video I have found. I’ve been visiting it for a few years
Here is a 20-minute video with Don: th-cam.com/video/XhNvdxbi-Jc/w-d-xo.html - And you will find more on our youtube channel: th-cam.com/users/TaiChiHealthProductswithDonFiore
Yes
And yes to you also ;-)
Also Don fiore, do you know if this tai chi exercise will help someone with top of their back and back of neck pain? my husband did some extra rigouras exercise and stretched top back muscles. now in lots of pain for a week now.
Give it a try. Relax and breathe deeply while doing the practice.
Wow
And wow-thank-you for your comment
I.ve been doing these exericises
Great! Hope you make it a daily practice. Blessings
❤🎉
Glad you enjoyed it. Make it a daily practice ;-)
Should you always watch the camera when practicing these moves?
No. Some people go into a meditative state.
Respected Sir,
Should the movements be in the same order you have demonstrated or can there be change in the order of movements?
You can do the movements in any order.
Can we do this 8 minutes exercise twice a day? Say, one at about 7 o'clock in the morning and the other time at about 5.30 pm? Or is it confine to only once a day in the morning? Thank you sir
Yes - you can do this 8-minute practice twice a day. In Peace

Take one move and memorize it. Add a second move and memorize both together. Add a third move, etc. It will take as long as it takes. All is good.

Why does pushing the water not have the other side done??
You are supposed to be standing with feet side to side. No foot is forward. You shift your weight from side to side.
Im retiring in my martial arts journey i plan to shift to tai chi here
Great! Enjoy!
