Since I am being self taught without any formal classes, the following video is the one that I have been using as guidance. I love the detail Chris Pei includes in his teaching method. He touches base on everything: purpose, stretches, technique, and commonly made mistakes. It is extremely informational and I hope sharing this can help others begin their journey into the art of Tai Chi as well.
Also, in order to give credit where it is due, you can also check out other videos like this one on the YouTube channel BodyWisdom Yoga, Fitness & Wellness using this link provided.
