- Early morning - Sunrise - is thought to be the best time to practice Tai Chi. For beginners, this can be a challenge. Why am I getting up so early? But if you can catch the light just right - like in this session - it's all worth it. Join in with this meditation in motion - it's perfect for beginners, because all you have to do is do what you see.
DDR, Thank you, I conduct several classes a week at a cancer support center and several senior centers. Your teaching methods have enabled me to bring the benefits of Tia Chi to my students.
Andrew - I'm so glad I could offer something to help your work. I think it's fantastic what you are sharing in your classes!
Andrew - I hope this new message find it's way to you. We have a brand new project to bring free Tai Chi classes to Veterans, and we're reaching out to teachers everywhere to see if they want to be a part of it. Do you think this would be something you're interested in?
@@DavidDorianRoss I'm a veteran and am trying to learn Tai Chi with the intent of sharing with veterans, too, among others. If you can point me to local contacts to this end, I'll gladly lend my time and hand.
@@DavidDorianRoss tai chi is really helping me with my depression it has literally changed my life if I really do thank you so much for your videos on here you're an inspiration
@David-Dorian Ross Hello. I'm new to Tai Chi, but I wanted to learn it to improve my balance and overall well being. I also figured it would help me with my anxiety as well. I thoroughly enjoyed doing your 20 minute sunrise practice on CZcams. The movements are still a little confusing, but I'm working on it. I still do yoga, which I really like, but Tai Chi sounds like a good supplement to that. 😊🙏
I've been using this video off and on to add to my exercise program...which is limited. One of my cats, an attention monger who is a bit overweight, hears the music and immediately runs over to me. He knows the song and when I twist to the sides jumps on the table to make sure he gets a pet. He also knows when to jump down and sit between my legs when the exercise calls for reaching down. Not only do I get exercise, but fat boy does too. Good video.
Lol, that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing
Alright, I tried. I really tried. I loved the movements in this video. But the music.... I could not get into the rhythm of the movements with the coffee table jazz playing in the background. I love your teaching style and the pace. It's amazing on both accounts. I only ask that the music match that.
put the video on mute and play your own background music.....solved
I loved the music!!!!!
@@charlenevano did the same way i like psychill
@@messiwilleatyou Put your own music on and just watch.
Maybe a snakier soundtrack is suited for you? Put your own music on and just watch.
suggesting an audio track more in tune with the smooth motions and internal focus and energy of Tai chi
Hey! Thanks! This is literally the first time I've ever done Tai Chi. I have cancer, and the fatigue that comes from chemo, and the depression that comes from that...I made it ten minutes today! I'll keep working on this video until I can do the whole thing, then move onto another one! By the way, I freaking LOVE your dog.
I loved the music! Thank you! I hope to share with recovery patients in Colorado during COVID shut-down of other important healthy program options.
Oh, I love sunrises. There is something I find so emotional about them!
I'm in week 6 of starting my day with Sunrise Tai Chi, and I love the state of mind I finish with. I have a high stress job and this is getting me through my day with a lot more patience and less aggravation ❤
I recommend my patients do tai chi on a regular basis. I recommend this channel to them.Safe, easy, effective. Thank you
Love this!
Would love to see David from the back view. Its hard to know which hand/arm is where.
The captions explaining the movements are wonderful. I like the eclectic jazz rhythm which enhanced the flow. This class was like a visit with a friend.
music is like a fragrance.................... it is personal, and subjective.................... The class is fluid, and calming, and if you mute the sound, you can add your own music to match your style. Thanks David, this was my very first Tai Chi Class. It was a lovely introduction. Love from Western Canada.
❤️it ❤️it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️ it ❤️
I lead several classes a week ...truly love your teaching methods to pass them on to my older-adult students
Thank you,,,🙏 ❤️🙏
I was newly diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer, Tai Chi per DDR was practiced before my diagnosis and glad to see this video with easy to follow instructions for any fitness level. Noted the seated Tai Chi for seniors... thank you for making this available.
Have always had difficulty following excercise classes in person or online but had no trouble keeping up, felt like i was doing ballet again, just love the slow peaceful movements, excellent teacher!
This was my first time doing Tai Chi, and I couldn't believe how hot I got! Loved it, btw. Looking forward to doing more videos.
Thank you. I play cricket and am pretty mobile thanks to generally looking after myself and luck. Now I'm 65 and still run about and bowl and bat, but as each season passes I fear not being able to participate by the time the next season comes round. I really think this'll help. So, if you knew how much I enjoy cricket and all that comes with it, you'd fully appreciate this thank you.
Thank you so much Sir David for all your exercises that I follow daily. This keep me feel better and healthy. God Bless you and more power to you., Sir David from USA retired nurse follower
Hi David, I am enjoying your Tai Qi classes and would like to thank you for all the different ones you’re offering. Namaste.
I'M HOOKED! Helps my day start out so happy and motivated to move!
Excellent 20 minute flow experience.
Great coordination and balance between movements and music . Thanks!
Very nice, i actually got a good workout for this. My suggestion would be if you could use 2 cameras from different angels. because at some moments it's kind of hard to see what position you are in. for example at 12:48 i can't see if you bend your upper body or if it stays straight. And at other times you change the position but we can't see you feet, so i didn't know if i should keep them or move them to a new position.
Dear David Dorian, The benefits I experience is remarkable, the movement really effected my body movements, pain minimal on my knees. You are a God given Person David. Your demonstrations are Unique. Thank you. You don't mind I share to people in this difficult time to ease their pain.
Hooshik thank you so much for your kind words. Of course I don't mind that you share this - my whole purpose is to try to share something that is good for others. And I'm so delighted to hear that you are feeling it too!
DDR thanks a lot, it really was much simpler to follow you from behind 😊
I just did your 10 min then 15 min workout, fantastic! Thank you! Finally a workout that I can do safely!
I am very grateful to have discovered David Dorian Ross and his sublime, encouraging approach in teaching. Open the gateway, invite and lead in slow fluid movement. I love all your videos but this one is special, uncluttered by talk or overthinking, or thinking at all. Just the right use of written notes. You are truly a master teacher. I muted the music, next time will go with waves (I use ‘naturespace’ an iOS app). many thanks!!
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the movement! And I love your idea of putting on the sound of waves to replace the music. I use all different kinds of sounds to be the background to my Tai chi - even silence! Everyone has their own favorites!
I love this and I can do it seated or standing depending on how my back feels each day. Or, I can stand and if the hurt starts, sit.
Love this workout! It's a great way to start the day and just makes me feel good! As a beginner, this workout was a little challenging at first, but it kept me interested in wanting to master it, and it gave me the confidence that I could actually do tai chi! In the past, I tried learning from a different instructor and couldn't follow well enough to continue. You changed that for me, and now I want to learn more - Thank you! I wish there was a full-length (30 to 40 minute) workout of this instead of just 15, so now I'm shopping for a DVD of yours and wondering where to start. I love the flow of this workout and would like to find something at a similar difficulty level.
Thank you Cherria🎉❤🎉
one of my all time favorite videos you have shared with us David. I come back to it so often. love the sequence, the lighting, the location, the music.
Hey Dave, I love the way you talk through footwork particularly for ‘taming the mane’ and ‘embrace the moon’
As expected practice went very well, good speed and flow, on screen text would be a real plus for beginners, us too. Some inhale and exhales hints might be a plus if one is not experienced. We did it early this morning before the heat of the day got going. Here in Hastings UK we are not used to such long spells with such high temperatures, especially on the coast.
As septuagenarians with time on our hands we would generally do a warm up, then a 8 brocade or similar, your 15 minute practice and then a cool down. Always good to have a bit of variety along with something familiar.
Once again many thanks. As an aside are you allowed to fish in the wetlands behind you, saw some nice fish jumping!!
Hi Si Fu how are you I miss you I miss your beautiful Tai Chi I'm still practis Tai Chi everyday and I'm excited to see for you new videos I'm entreated about cane Tai chi and ball Tai Chi and really your Tai Chi makes me happy even my work and my life not easy thank you so much Si Fu for sharing your nolage about Tai chi 🙏
I absolutely loved it. What great way to start the day. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your workout. It is easy to follow and the music is nice. As a beginner, I am very pleased with following this.
Lovely practice. You really do feel calm and relaxed, but also energised. Love the " follow" series. You are a bit like a Tai Chi Einstein: I.e. make complex things simple. You are a great teacher.
I loved every moment of this continuous movement tai chi 🙏 I work with over 50s teaching yoga- but I also need a little peace and calm and thank you I am managing some mornings to practice your workshops and it’s really helping to relax 🙏 thank you
I saw your recent post a couple of weeks ago for some seated movement. I worked on some last winter, no words, with guided breathing, but didn't publish them. That is an area that needs attention for those sedentary, and wheelchair/ bed bound.
I love this video. Loved the music. Great movement for someone who spends too much time on the computer. Very healing to do this video
First time attempting this session. I have such a challenge with right/left, lower body - upper body movements and following at the same time! After 4 attempts to "Taming the Maine" I at least was able to synchronize correct side and upper/lower body movements. I love the stretching it provides. Will keep at this.....Thank you for posting these lessons for those of us who prefer the comfort of our own surroundings.
I’ll be trying this today. I’ve done a class before and remember a number of these moves. It looks ideal to start again.
Great video thank you. Me and by 12 year old tried it this morning and really enjoyed it. One recommendation (for what it is worth) if the camera person can keep your whole body in the frame that would help so we know what the legs are doing for all movements. Thanks!
The best . Thank you
Loved this one
Muy bueno Amigó Gracias!! desde argentina
Covid-19 shut-in. My friends and I are group David-Dorian Ross early risers. April 8th was my third week, and this was so helpful for me. Thank you, and be well..!
thank you! i mean got lost right on minute 15 and never was able to come back jajja but will keep practicing :D
It feels so good to move slowly like this.
David, I love the way you talk through tai chi . Keeping it simple and it’s amazing how it affects your fitness too
thanks so much. I put my favorite music in the background it was magic. (Donna DeLory--In the Glow)
words need to be displayed longer. Good set. It will be easier to follow after a few more times.
It’s helpful to have a whole routine, like this, to follow without interruptions.
Now ads are interrupting
Danke David, your a gift
I am sixty-four and new to Tai Chi. Your beginners lessons are excellent and exactly what I need to learn. I love your wardrobe! Can you start posting what you are wearing?
Thank you! Perfect speed for a beginner and it was easy to follow your movements. The music kept me motivated. This is the perfect way to start mornings in quarantine :) Thanks so much for sharing!
thanks David I bought one of your CDs a long time ago now I enjoy your videos
DDR... fabulous. Sunrise/Sunset gave me an 'ahhh' sensation in my body after a week of teaching Nia, Yoga and NIa FreeDance.. Looking forward to another FULL day of teaching tomorrow, including TaijiFit! Love you!
David I love your videos, the perfect way to cool my body down after 2 of “Joe Wickes ‘s” video’s
Love your style❤
Amazing inspiring. Just what I needed. I’m battling serious medical issues and a bunch of testing currently. I just wanted to do a little exercise. Found this video. David Dorian Ross you rule. Great music. Great moves. Great you! Thank you
Thank you for watching! Sending you healing thoughts.
Many thanks DDR, looking forward to practicing this tomorrow morning, you are so good to us.
You are so welcome! I'd love to hear how your practice goes, if you don't mind sharing later!
quite a while ago, I had found a gia tai chi cd at raleys for morning tai chi. Long story short, I lost it and didnt know what I was missing until I found you and tai chi again. thank you. ps I had been doing the tai - chi for so long that I remembered the first 5 poses by reflex even if i didnt know their name. It was soothing and it still is. thank you again
Fantastic routine as it gently hits all the main muscle groups. I use it at various times during my busy day and find it extremely beneficial. Thank you.
Thank you for a great video for beginners to follow. If I may suggest, I think it would be better if you keep a full body shot throughout the video so we can check our footwork as well. Occasional tight shots are okay but show the full shot especially during transitions.
yes!...or have a second screen in one corner for us to refer to for footwork....over all..excellent!
Master-Ross, thank God for creating you! I watched 4 DVDs Taichi & Qigong taught by you. It's so great! I use your name and find your CZcams chanel. I'm so happy.
Great music....thx
I did it! Great practice, and I can feel the positive, and peaceful energy coming through. Music is cool, and loved the intro with doggy. I admit I wanted to see more of the pup, lol, animals are so healing too. He reminds me so much of my big chow/Bernese that we lost a few years back.
It’s the first time I do It, and I love it!! Thank you very much!
Hi David! So glad I found you on here. I certified as a TCF instructor with you in CA about 10 years ago. I love following along with you!
David is weird its like my body knows how to do this. I'm combining this with some of montak chia's meditations and movements. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much fro being you David. I came across your channel recently and I love doing you on the beginning on tis journey. My dog Eve is happy to join too ;.P. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing. I am a beginner and have always wanted to try Tai Chi. Thanks to the pandemic, I am exploring new things about myself and wanting to implement a new routine that I hope will remain once things go back to normal. I enjoyed this video very much and appreciate your time and efforts in putting it together for us!
Jess - well I always try to look for the silver lining. I hope everyone will stay safe the crisis will pass, but in the meantime I'm delighted people like you stumble into Tai Chi! Please check out the rest of the channel - there's a lot to explore - wishing you wellness!
Thank you for creating such a useful channel. I have many dvds of your Tai Chi teaching. Your method is really effective David! Keep up your good work!
Thanks so much for sharing. I've just started tai chi videos and find this inspiring. Thank you.
Dave, I am quite into a good swing in golf, 1 move I have found particularly helpful to this end is cloud hands. It’d be great if we’re all having a go together! jegan
Hey David
I just want to say.... I loved the music! Also, in terms of people saying more closeups etc, I think the point was to get into it, not perfect it! Thankyou for your help, my partner and I have to learn some of these "moves" so we can do it at the beach where its more relaxing. Thankyou
Tom and Katie from Australia!
I appreciated and liked this video. I would offer a suggestion on the filming. The foot and leg movements are so important. Please consider filming the different movements with the whole body moving together. Many times I was following the hands, but my feet were off because I couldn't see your feet at the time. You had plenty of camera room to film from the bottom of your shoes to the top of your head for close ups without losing the preciseness of the movements. That would help so much with the flow and coordination of the movement changes.
Love it.
Wow! (And i gotta admit your soundtrack bumps!)
Wow, this is wonderful. Thank you! I wanted a change from yoga and I’m excited to be learning this.
I have focused so much on the forms lately that I have missed you 15 minute videos. This one was great! Cross high a d low are some of my favorite moves and the deer move reallygive a nice stretch to the shoulders and back.
Thank you, I loved the music. It's very upbeat yet pleasant and sets the right tone for the morning practice! :)
Great video, and I loved the moves! These are a different variety from what a lot of videos have, and worked some new muscles for me.
However, I think there are a few things about this video that make it not quite "beginner friendly".
1. The lack of talking makes it really difficult to look away from the screen when the head is supposed to be turned, and stay in sync with the movement.
2. The camera angles sometimes obscure the footwork that goes along with the motions.
I noticed this several times during the video, but I think the "deer" movements probably stood out as one place where this could be more "beginner friendly".
Love your video,great for beginners, however had to mute the music and found it difficult to read the directions while doing the moves. Glad you repeat moves but maybe instead of the music you could talk the description.❤
Wonderful routine and I am very grateful to you for making it available. Unfortunately, like some others I had to abandon it midway when you kept switching away from full body view. I hope at some point you are able to re-edit it to show the entire routine from the viewpoint of the full body camera.
Thank you DDR. This was my first try at Tai Chi and really enjoyed and feel elevated. Excited to continue :)
Dr Ross thank you so very much for this Tai Chi video I've been practicing tai chi on CZcams with dr Hoover, and now you Sir. I seem to find it very relaxing and takes a lot of stress away. I also think it's stretching my back it helps Thanks new subscriber. I wish they offered Tai Chi classes in my hometown Bakersfield but can't find any..
So glad you found our channel, and there are lots of Tai Chi and Qigong moves to help with stretching out the back! Here's a video I made for back pain - check it out and let me know what you think! czcams.com/video/KQahvKSDOoY/video.html
Powerful music therapy here....LOVE IT! Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for making it so approachable for beginners!
good one . Thank you
Thank you so very much for sharing this knowledge. You are an excellent teacher. Many blessings of joy to you, friend! 🙏🏼
Very nice & thank you for your lessons, My gravity goes down & I used Ball to make more challenge. I love different music & which I play with. To help old people I think Mimic's choices help a lot, put them on mood to swing......., If I can see you on Udemy made for effective & fun for whom intimidate by words TAI CHI/Qi Gong....., I/We try to entertain many stubborn people but want to be well(?), Many times why do I care?...., but I do!!!. Tank you again for your generous/sincere WORKs. I have many questions ( better ways than before ?!?!....),
i just did this class and it was awesome,so relaxing 2
So part of my morning routine
great video thank you. going to start doing this for the generalized anxiety i deal with all the time.
How is your progress so far?
I have been attending a Tai Chi Flow class for about 7 months now and I love it. I just wanted to find a Tai Chi exercise and I found you! It was at a slower pace than what I'm used to, but It was a pleasure to do it again. You have a new subscriber and I may have to take a look at your other videos! Keep it up!
Glad to have you!
"Every day tai chi" you call it, or something like it, and I've been doing it every day for coming up to a year now! Thank you. Which means I've seen the river, or lake, hundreds of times, I've seen one nodding donkey move and one stay still hundreds of times, and I've seen the midges/mosquitos the same. I'm intrigued - where is this? And did you get bitten to pieces?
You earned my subscription in the first once minute. I love your relaxed, clear style.
Thank you for your video it was realy helpful for my back.
