Syllabus

Welcome from Dr. Aihan Kuhn

This 10 Week program is designed as an effective way of learning Tai Chi. Each week the practice builds on what you learned in the previous week. You can do it in 10 weeks, you can do it in 20 weeks, or you can do it in a year. Its totally up to you. For instance, you can do the first week's lesson in two or three weeks. If you really want to get it down in ten weeks, you must learn and practice every day for at least 45-60 minutes each time. I believe you will get great results. Along with the purchase of the Udemy course, Dr. Aihan Kuhn will personally send you the accompanying book.

If you are an instructor, this Ten Week video lesson will provide you with a structured healing method that students need. This way, they will feel good when learning Tai Chi: better focus, more energy, feeling calm, mental clarity, better circulation, better movement, and more. Also, you will have more joy from teaching; not only will you feel good, but you will also see your students doing well with their form and their learning attitude.

In learning Tai Chi, you must start with total relaxation. This will effortlessly produce results. This is the way of the Dao, the wisdom that helps everything in life. Sometimes you try too hard, but you may not get there results you want. Try not to try too hard, but just go with the flow, and then you can truly feel the energy flow through the body.

24 Step Tai Chi is the most popular Form, both in China and throughout the world. This is great for learners because you can easily blend into a Tai Chi group when you see people practicing this form anywhere in the world.

Many report experiencing tangible health benefits, including improved flexibility, balance, and a sense of calm.
