Your Tai Chi Compass for Posture, Energy, and Flow

Feeling lost in your Tai Chi practice? Unsure if your posture, movements, or energy are aligned? The 10 Essentials of Tai Chi are timeless principles passed down by masters for centuries, guiding you to practice with purpose, alignment, and flow.

The first five essentials focus on posture alignment, helping you improve balance, body awareness, and structure. The latter five guide energy alignment, allowing Qi to flow naturally, deepening relaxation, focus, and internal awareness.

These 10 Essentials were originally transmitted orally by Yang Chengfu (1883–1936) to his close disciple Chen Weiming (陈微明) in the 1920s–1930s. Around 1925, they were first formally recorded in Chen Weiming’s book T’ai-chi Ch’üan Shu (《太极拳术》), preserving the wisdom that has guided generations of practitioners.
