Course Description

For the last few years, Holland America Cruise Lines has invited Sui Huang to be their Guest Tai Chi Instructor to teach Tai Chi (a/k/a Taiji in China) and Qi Gong to their passengers on their Grand Cruises lasting several months at a time.

She found that the “Easy Taiji” worked as well for most all of the passengers who had no previous experience as did her regular students. It is the same course now being offered at Udemy.

Compared to other forms of fitness workouts, Tai Chi is one of the gentler ones you will find. The easy, slow, flowing movements enable people to enjoy its benefits well into their golden years.

Tai Chi is essentially a slow form of a Chinese Martial Art practiced by millions of people around the world because it has been shown to be helpful for many of the ailments that can affect your body.

In China, it is believed that Tai Chi can delay aging and prolong life, increase flexibility, strengthen muscles and tendons, and aid in the treatment of heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, dementia, depression, and many other illnesses.

Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might as well be called “medication in motion.” This mind-body practice can help treat or prevent many age-related health problems. And, it may be the perfect activity for the rest of your life.

With Tai Chi, not only do you learn a new skill, but it has been scientifically proven that some of the movements have been shown to benefit people suffering from Arthritis. Even if you don't have Arthritis, the moves are good exercise and will increase your fitness.

You can get started with Tai Chi even if you aren’t in top shape. This gentle form of exercise is slow and doesn’t leave you breathless, yet it addresses the key components of fitness—muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and, to a lesser degree, aerobic conditioning.

Since everyone’s body functions a bit different, her method of teaching involves showing you the moves as they “should be” performed, however, you are encouraged to do the moves in the most comfortable way your body moves and will allow.

In the course you will learn the following: some of the fundamental moves of the Yang style, how to do the Tai Chi walk, correct breathing and moving procedures, the names of each move, and also learn a little Chinese in the process.

Sui is here to help you enjoy a centuries old Chinese tradition of maintaining your health…..fitness….. and flexibility. So don’t delay in achieving your goals! Get started learning now….. the Easy way!

I love the instructor's knowledge, however, when the instructor is explaining the steps verbally is tough to stay concentrated. I suggest to have someone speak flawlessly, like a voice over, while the instructor demonstrates the steps, because she is wonderful in showing the movements bit by bit.

By Gabryel Silva on 8/31/2020

A very nice course, I have already learned so much. I did not think it possible to have such a profound level of detail in a online course, and I can already feel the benefits of the pratice, in my breathing a relaxation of the body. I recomend the course, and I already think on buying the next on her website, such an incredible mentor!

Very painful to watch. Very disappointed

By Janice Horner on 4/8/2018

The course is great for anyone interested in Tai Chi. It is an elegant and gentle way to tone muscles, improve balance and feel good. I love the tutor, she was engaging, a delight to watch and listen to.

Initial lesson provides strong foot, knee, hip weight shift explaination. Best explaination and demonstration I have seen for beginners. Most instructors teach first movement without explaining benefit of accurate weight shifting.

For a long time I have been searching for a good Mentor and course to learn Tai Chi and this is THE best one I have seen so far. Beautiful introduction and the mentor here has such grace and form. I feel very lucky to be a part of this learning. Thank you, thank you so much!

By Betsy Bridgman on 2/29/2016

Excellent course! The instructor does a superior job of introducing each form in detail and then provides frequent opportunities to work through all the forms that have been learned. Perfect for beginners.

By Marix Grobbelaar on 2/24/2016

Ni Hao Sue You are a real gem. Your explanations are step-by-step. The forms and movements explained on to a T. Never ever encountered such a brilliant teacher as yourself before. I'm 55 years old, struggling with health issues, like a skew L5 spine disk (born like that), fribromyalgia and so on. Yang Tai Chi is saving me step-by-step. I've needed an electronic course to use the 5 evenings we don't have Tai Chi classes. Finally - Sui Huang to the rescue. You are a life saviour! Thank you so much. Warm regards from South Africa, Marix
