The tai chi exercises for beginners are mostly warm-ups or stretching. Moreover, as proven by tai chi instructors, people can truly get benefits from stretching exercises, which are taught before starting each tai chi sets. Some of the basic tai chi exercises are as follows:

The energy ball exercise. This is about holding the ball, called as ball of energy. The ball needs to be in between the hands when doing the exercise. The exercise is very simple as well as relaxing. The difference is, instead of touching a real ball; here in tai chi, you will create your imaginary ball.



The breathing exercise. This is another usual exercise during the tai chi session. Due to pollution, stress, problems, and poor posture, people tend to have this poor breathing habit. As you can see, breathing is not just for the sake of breathing in order for us to live. Breathing, if done properly, can help us make breathe smoother and longer than the usual.

Standing in a neutral position. Our teachers taught us to stand properly by putting our hands on our sides, with the full body weight on our feet. We should stand on our both feet for us to balance our whole body. Tai chi students should perfect the correct standing before they can proceed to more difficult exercises. If someone can’t stand properly, then more or less, it would be difficult for him/her to grasp complex tai chi exercises.

There are also exercises that could enhance coordination.

The circling of hands. This is quite easy to do, but if you take this seriously, you will know that such simple exercise is a big deal for a serious tai chi student. This is the better way for you to practice a unified motion. With this exercise the body parts are open as it expands smoothly and slowly.

Push hands with partner exercise. This type of exercise needs to have a partner. In this exercise, you’ll receive the external force coming from your partner, which is considered as an immediate feedback. The energy flows if you effectively execute this easy and simple exercise.

All of the tai chi exercises, especially the tai chi breathing exercises, are very important in order for you to become an expert student. Along the way, you will learn a lot, and you will notice that basic tai chi exercises are all part of the more complicated ones.

Thus, if you want to become a professional tai chi practitioner you need to master the basics of tai chi by heart. The abovementioned exercises are just some of the simple activities of Tai chi. Know more about this and master your body alignment, as well as coordination impressively.
