Tai Chi: Waving Hands in the Clouds - Women's Fitness

  • 13 years ago
Tai Chi: Waving Hands in the Clouds - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats. Hello, my name is Tiffany Chen, I am from William C. C. Chen's Tai Chi Chuan. I am going to do Waving Hands in the Clouds with you. Begin by standing shoulder width apart. Relax, exhaling, creasing in the hips. Left palm on the bottom, right palm on top. Palms facing the body. Right now we are double-weighted. Relax, and exhale. Shift the weight into the left leg, and as you do so switch the hands, with the right hand moving on the outside. And then now turn to the left, and now the palms turn over facing each other. One step up, shift into the right leg, hook at the fingers of the right hand, and turn out, extending the right arm. Step out with the left, shift the weight, sink down into the left leg, let the energy spiral up, spinning up from the elbow of the left arm. And now turn in, the left palm and the right foot together, right foot on the heel. And that completes the segment.
