Here are some things to remember:

***practice the form to learn of yourself, practice the applications to learn of other people, keep in mind relaxation is not becoming limp it is learning how to open up your body and let go of what holds you***


***yin and yang is the most important thing to remember, the goal of tai ji quan is for you to learn how to relax and let go of all stagnation in the body and mind. Within yin there is yang and within yang there is yin, learn how become one and the other will be drawn to it, the universe is constantly seeking balance. Become more and more aware of the changes and movements in your body.***
