T'Ai Chi Ch'Uan : The Basic Exercises

Tai Chi Chuan, also spelled T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Taijiquan, is both a martial art and a spiritual discipline. Its movements are slow and meditative, yet have an unseen internal strength, often described as "steel wrapped in cotton." It is this combination of soft and hard, or yin and yang, which generates the great rewards of improved health and fitness physically, mentally and spiritually.
T'ai Chi can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of fitness. Because its movements are done slowly and with great attention, it is well suited for the elderly or those recovering from an injury or illness. Its many layers of self defense application, varying levels of practice and heightened mind/body awareness can aid young, athletic people in their everyday life and in conventional sports.

Regular practice of T'ai Chi can:

reduce stress
lower blood pressure and increase circulation
open joints to heal injuries and relieve arthritis
improve mind/body awareness
increase overall body strength and balance
promote longevity

Very good tape for beginners:
