10 Myths About Naturopathic Medicine

As some of you may know Andrew Plitt is currently in school to become a Naturopathic Doctor (ND).  Because of this we will be adding a Natural Medicine component to this site where we will post articles about naturopathic medicine that we find interesting or useful, to help raise awareness and understanding about what naturopathic medicine is.  Below is a link to our first article posting along these lines titled, "10 Myths About Naturopathic Medicine."  This article discusses common misunderstandings about naturopathic medicine and helps set the record straight.  If you're new to naturopathic medicine and are curious about it, this is a good starting place.  We hope you all find this article informative. Enjoy!

Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 7: Left Brush Knee and Push

We have come to the 7th video in this instruction series on the Yang Tai Chi 108 Form.

Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 6: White Crane Spreads its Wings

This is the 6th video in our instruction series for the Yang Tai Chi 108 Form and it presents the move "White Crane Spreads its Wings."  Similar to the preceding postures, this posture shows up multiple times throughout this form.

From this movement a large array of applications that can be derived.  Generally, when you see a move appear multiple times in a form, it indicates that the move has a very important pattern of structure and movement within it that can lead to many uses.

To Your Health,
Andrew Plitt

Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 5

This video covers the posture "Raise Hands and Step Forward" which also shows up in the form again at a later point.  You will find that there are several moves that are repeated throughout this form and some that show up only once.  Because this is a move that shows up again, the more time you spend on it now, the easier it will be to incorporate it later.

To see the full list of the names of each posture in this form, check out our Chinese Terminology page. 

Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 4: Single Whip

This fourth video of our Yang Tai Chi 108 Form instruction series takes us into a new move of the form called "Single Whip."  This posture shows up multiple times throughout the form, so be sure to spend time really getting it down this time.  It will pay off down the road.

I hope this video helps you in your training.  :)

This is the third installment of our instruction series for the Yang Tai Chi 108 Form. This video finishes the "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail" move from this form.

Always remember to remain diligent in your training. :)

Yang Tai Chi 108 Form Instruction Video 2

Here's the 2nd instruction video in our Yang Tai Chi 108 Form series.  This video only covers the first half of this move and the following video will cover the second half.  We figured it would be easier to split of into two shorter videos than to have one lengthy video.

As always, we hope you find this video helpful in your Tai Chi training.
