TAI CHI FORM → Traditional Tai Chi Form & Foundation Training

I thoroughly enjoyed the traditional tai chi Form and Foundation Training course. The expert guidance and teaching from Yiyi on correct alignment, posture, body awareness and technique are fantastic and so valuable. Even though I practiced Kung Fu for many years I realised I had weaknesses in my practice and this has helped enormously. It has helped me to become more flexible and stronger and improved my health and wellbeing. Many thanks.

I used to attend in-person Tai Chi classes years ago, but I ended up straining my body while practicing. I never quite figured out what I was doing wrong. Then I found Sifu Yiyi, and she cleared up all my worries about learning Tai Chi safely. I’ve been taking her online training ever since, and every soft flow routine leaves my body feeling relaxed and balanced, with zero awkward tightness or strain. I can’t thank her enough.

After retiring I tried just about everything to stay limber without ending up worse for wear. A friend finally talked me into trying Master Yiyi’s Basic Tai Chi course online. I’ll admit I was skeptical—how’s a screen supposed to teach you something that’s all about feeling and balance? But I figured, why not.

Right off the bat, her way of teaching clicked. No fluff, no fancy terms—just clear instruction from my living room. What really surprised me was how responsive she is. I once messaged her about a move that tweaked my knee, and she replied within a day with a simpler version and even a short video just to walk me through it. She doesn’t just teach—she actually listens.

Been at it about two months now. I’m not saying I feel like a kid again, but I do feel steadier. Getting up from the couch is easier. My back doesn’t tighten up like it used to. And it’s more than just the body—those 20 or 30 minutes of slow movement calm my mind in a way I didn’t know I needed.

So if you’re like me—retired, a little stiff, maybe unsure about this “slow-motion” stuff—give Yiyi a try. She’s patient, answers questions, and keeps it all practical. Honestly, it might be one of the better things I’ve done for myself in a while.

This online course was my first step. It significantly eased my chronic pain and taught me the basics of movement and alignment. During this period Master Yiyi provided very detailed guidance and a lot of help. That positive experience is exactly why I wanted to go deeper.

I am so blessed to have found Mentor Yiyi and her teachings! She is an excellent teacher, and has helped me overcome my pain and lack of mobility. These techniques are a miracle for the sedentary life that can easily overcome us! I am so happy I get to train under her! She is truly a master at this modality! This course has helped me in so many ways, most importantly with my hip pain and lack of energy! I am now able to move more and have more energy! I am so grateful!

I wanted something calm, not another intense workout. Tai Chi Basics fits that. Short sessions, clear instructions, easy to pick up. Two weeks in, I’m sleeping deeper and less wound up.

Master Yiyi is a truly remarkable person. Possessing vast knowledge, he is an exceptionally respectful and humble individual. She carries Tai Chi as a family legacy and shares it with the world. Her expertise extends beyond Tai Chi; he also possesses profound knowledge of Taoist philosophy. I am grateful to have gained a deeper understanding of Tai Chi through her. I find the Tai Chi programs highly effective; I have purchased two of them myself and strive to make them a part of my daily routine. I wholeheartedly recommend Master Yiyi’s courses to anyone interested in Tai Chi.

This foundational course is surprisingly challenging yet calming. Needed something to quiet my mind after long workdays. Yiyi breaks everything down so clearly — I finally get what "moving meditation" means. A solid start to my Tai Chi journey.

These simple Tai Chi moves improved my balance and calm-much needed during our long Canadian winter. Started as a skeptic. Left as a believer. Instructor is clear and no-nonsense. Replies fast too. Worth every minute.

I've taken yoga, Pilates, and even tried a few 'spine specialist' programs online. They all felt generic — like someone just recorded a few stretches and called it a course. This is completely different. The instructor blends Tai Chi principles — the flow, the sinking, the spiraling — with actual spinal anatomy and alignment techniques. It's like nothing I've ever seen. You're not just stretching; you're learning how to move your spine the way it was designed to move. This is original, not another copycat course.

I absolutely love Teacher Yiyi's foundational course—it has helped my body so much, and I hope more people can benefit from it.

Learning Teacher Yiyi Tai Chi Foundation Course has been a life-changing experience for me.

As a 42-year-old software engineer from New York, I’ve battled chronic lower back pain and insomnia for over 5 years due to long hours at my desk. I tried yoga, physical therapy, and even painkillers, but nothing provided lasting relief. I was skeptical about Tai Chi at first, thinking it was too slow for someone like me.

But this course completely changed my mind. Teacher Yi explains every movement with incredible clarity—especially the connection between the spine and tailbone. She doesn’t just teach postures; she teaches you how to "reawaken" your body. Within the first week, the stiffness in my lower back started to fade. After a month, I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years.

What I love most is that it’s not just exercise; it’s a way to calm my racing mind. The step-by-step lessons make it easy for a beginner like me to follow. This course isn’t just about learning Tai Chi—it’s about learning to take care of my body again.

Thank you, Teacher Yi. My back, my sleep, and my mental health have all improved beyond my expectations.

I have been practicing the spinal flow dynamic course taught by Master Yiyi. My spine has changed a lot. Before, my spine always made a clicking sound and I couldn't lift heavy objects. But after taking the course, the clicking sound of my spine has disappeared, and the functionality of my spine is getting better and better now, allowing me to lift heavy objects
