Customer Rating: Summary: This Tai Chi Reduces Stress Comment: I have used tai chi for enlighteners for just a short time but it has already proven to be very helpful to me. I received the manual and DVD just before my father-in-law was hospitalize in another state with a very serious illness. Upon returning home and starting to use Stephanie's tai chi for enlighteners I found it helped me to calm down after several very stressful weeks. I am already making better decisions about various aspects of my life. Do read the manual first before starting the DVDs as Stephanie suggests.

Stephanie taught me Wu style Tai Chi in the Caribbean more than 15 years ago and I loved it. What seems a lifetime of experience later, I was drawn to see if I could reconnect with Stephanie and relearn the form. What a delight it was to discover that she had produced a DVD. And what a remarkable DVD it is. If you've ever tried to follow a sequence of moves from someone facing you and get mixed up with left and right you'll love this.
Stephanie has reversed her movements so all you have to do follow. She's also, without compromising the integrity of the form, simplified and broken down the steps of the learning process into manageable chunks. I'm truly impressed with her skill! The DVD is a superb review if you're taking lessons but you're no way deprived if you wish to go it alone without a teacher.
A few words on Wu style Tai-Chi. I've learned many different ways to connect with one's core being - different forms of yoga, meditation, qigong - but there's something very special about Wu style tai-chi. It very quickly takes me to a place of calmness and grounding. One round in the morning and I'm set to face the day. Customer Rating: Summary: This is the best"self~teach" dvd i have ever tried Comment: Tai Chi for Enlighteners is by far the best "self~teach" dvd I have ever used. Stephanie's gentle teaching of the Wu style of Tai Chi is a wonderful way to REALLY learn Tai Chi. Her knowledge, learned from Mr. and Mrs. Chow, is a beautiful style of the art. I am a student of Stephanie's and I find the dvd a great way to Master the steps at home. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone that is interested in learning Tai Chi. It also makes a great gift to anyone that wants to share the benefits from all the healthy side affects of the practice, of which there are so many! Customer Rating: Summary: A welcome journey for "Englightners" Comment: "Tai Chi for Enlighteners" is an amazing program for anyone beginning Tai Chi or learning the Wu Style Tai Chi. Stephanie led me through the steps in an easy to follow routine as I practiced with her DVD. I appreciate how each lesson builds upon the previous one and found the repetition helpful with my retention of the patterns. My posture and flexibility have improved and I am more conscience of how I move in my everyday life since doing the program. I recommended the DVD to a dear friend of mine in her 80's. She began the DVD after injuring her wrists and hands. She told said she feels more balanced and stands and walks with improved posture since beginning the program. I highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to improve their health, flexibility and well being. Customer Rating: Summary: Tai Chi...an amazing journey to staying healthy as we age! Comment: How exciting to finally find an EXCELLENT DVD program that only promotes health as we try to age graciously. Master Tai Chi teacher, Stephanie brings her incredible knowledge to us and has simplified the steps needed to easily understand and learn what I now call, 'The Dance of Health'. I highly recommend men and women to purchase "Tai Chi for Enlighteners", for it most likely will be the best investment they could make in their lifetime.
