Fabulous

By Helen Darlington on 9/12/2020

Yes, but looks a bit dated.

By Philip Johnson on 8/21/2020

My first time.

By Jean Gasca on 8/20/2020

Parting the horse's mane went a little too fast for me. I would have appreciated more practice slowly.

By Pooja Gaunjhu on 8/17/2020

I have always wanted to learn tai chi. It feels great.

Easy to follow

By Christina Lien on 7/12/2020

This course is awesome - easy to follow and delivered with entusiasm and in deepth background knowledge.
It is helping me to get through the lock-down/work at home because of the Covid19 as I have no office furnitures and that is not good with a back-injury. I have since I started this course not have any major pain issues.

By Christina Lien on 7/11/2020

This is a course that really has given me a significant improvement in life and I love the way things are broken down in small units, so I can focus on each part. Especially, during 2 months of lock-down (Covid 19) it has been a very good tool to keep sane in my solitude.

By Paul Cooney on 7/5/2020

it is taking me some time to learn the moves and I have to keep rewinding. I am finding the course helpful and enjoyable and may get more from it as i progress
