For beginners learning Taichi or qigong exercise, traditionaly the balance walking exercise will be introduced first to help improving the meridians to open and tune for better balance.

Steady feet walking and balance help improve functioinal mobility, improve balance, reduce falls risk, and increase lower body strength.

According to TCM, there are six regular meridians circulating in lower limbs and four extra meridians as well. The control of hip, knee joints and ankles will coordinate the turing of spine which stretch the arch of our feet( like in orthotics).  The exercise helps people with backpain or weak limbs.

Breathing techniques with stepping exercise will help for lung capacity development, so that stagnition can be removed. Although the first empression for it seems simple, a lot of information is wrapped in classical training to benift our wellness in smooth steps. The main principle and steps in Taichi are included in it. Please see the demo video for more details.
