The basis of all Tai Chi is the solo form, often described as a moving meditation. This is the first form to be learned.

The first part, which has a beginning and an end, takes about 10 weeks to complete.

The solo form is one continuous movement that uses the power of the legs to shift the weight while the mind remains calm, focused and clear. It relaxes the body and strengthens an individual's constitution.

Practice is not only the key to learning the sequence but, like any exercise, the only way to reap the benefits.
