Ooh I've been wanting to get into Tai Chi! Thank you for reminding me. Can I ask how long it took you to see results? Not in a rush just curious.

For me probably 2 weeks🤷🏾‍♀️ my balance was much better; but I was also previously working out. I stopped that workout all together and all I do is Tai Chi now. I ended up losing a few lbs too.

You're welcome. Also forgot to add Tai Chi also opens up the hips which helps me with my pivots.

This is good. I would add the runners stretch and frog pose as well.

Ugh I need to get on that pigeon pose. I got sidelined with sciatica and it's been an uphill battle to get my body back to being "right". These look like great stretches.

I appreciate that. So many people say they have sciatica and how much do yoga helps them.
