What have you already learned that you could practise today?
Micro Tai Chi is how you keep practising it.
A main lesson teaches the principle properly. A related 2–10 minute Micro practice helps you revisit it later — without pretending a short exercise replaces deeper Tai Chi study.
Tai Chi moments
Before getting out of bed. After sitting up. Waiting for the kettle. Waiting for a bus or train. At a desk. Walking. Outside in nature. Before sleep.
The point is not to perform exercises constantly. It is to become better at noticing structure, breath, tension, weight, intention, movement and surroundings.
Where could a few minutes of practice fit into your day?
Wake
Breath, awareness and gentle movement before getting out of bed.
Stand
Structure, Song, feet and ground awareness.
Shift
Empty and full: controlled weight transfer that later supports stepping and turning.
Chair
Seated structure, breath, rotation and coordinated movement.
Step & Walk
Shift, empty, place and transfer — then reconnect the principle to Tai Chi walking.
Everyday Reset
Short practices for waiting, desk breaks and other natural pauses in the day.
Outside
Movement, breath, sensory awareness and connection with the natural environment.
Calm & Bedtime
Quiet movement, natural breathing, awareness and releasing unnecessary tension.
