Starting Position
Stand beside a counter. Feet comfortably apart, one hand resting on support.
Step-by-Step Movement Instructions
- 1Take two small Basic Tai Chi JingFlow steps.
- 2Pause with both feet down. Feel the pressure through each foot.
- 3Take two more steps, then pause again.
- 4Continue slowly. Turn with small lifted steps, or stop before the path ends.
Practice Duration
One minute, including the pauses.
Breathing Cue
Keep breathing during each pause. Let the shoulders settle.
Supported & Seated Variation (Path A)
Hold the counter throughout. For stationary practice, replace steps with two small shifts and a pause.
What to Notice During Practice
The pause should be a choice, rather than a response to a wobble.
An urgent grab for support, confusion about foot placement, or pain.
Sit down safely if you feel light-headed or unsteady. There is never any reason to push through pain or discomfort.
