Tai Chi, Qigong & Mindful Movement
No tai chi or qigong film is embedded. Talks that passed the player check can play. The shift and chair yoga pieces are scripts.
Official talk. Player length 0:40. It is a short film to watch, not a movement routine and not a longer lesson.
National Institute on Aging. U.S. Government work. The film stays on the National Institute on Aging YouTube channel. Embed allowed. The file is not copied onto lifeZoi.
Stop for chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or significant pain. Use a sturdy chair. Move only in a comfortable range, and use a seated option when you want one. This is not treatment, not a diagnosis, and not physical therapy. If you have a health condition, a recent surgery, an injury, or major limits on mobility, ask a qualified professional before you try these movements.

Open. Hold a sturdy chair with one hand. This is a lifeZoi script for a supported side-to-side shift. It is not a tai chi course, not qigong instruction, and not a video.
Stand tall. Feet about hip-width apart. Soften the knees. Keep the chair under your hand.
Shift. Move a little of your weight toward one foot, then back to the middle, then toward the other foot. The free foot stays easy to put down.
Small circles. If the shift feels steady, make a very small circle with the body while the hand stays on the chair. Skip circles if you prefer only the side-to-side shift.
Seated option. Sit and rock gently from one sitting bone to the other if standing is not a good fit.
Close. Come back to the middle. Sit and rest. Do not practice this without support if you are at risk of falling.

Open. Sit in a sturdy chair. This is an original lifeZoi script for later recording. It is not a finished yoga video and it is not a class you can press play on.
Seated easy posture. Feet on the floor. Hands on the thighs. Lengthen through the chest without forcing it. Stay for three breaths.
Neck look. Look gently to one side, then the other. Two looks each way.
Open arms. Open the arms out to the sides only as far as is comfortable, then bring the hands back to the thighs. Four times.
Seated side reach. One hand holds the chair. The other arm reaches up a little, then comes down. Switch sides. Two each side.
Ankles and rest. Circle the ankles slowly. Then rest the hands and breathe in an ordinary way until the ten minutes are done.
