Baji - The Eight Stances

1. Horse riding stance
2. Bow and arrow stance
3. Taming the tiger stance
4. Cross leg stance (crane)
5. Empty stance (cat)
6. T'ai-Chi stance (seven star)
7. Unicorn stance (Chi-Ling)
8. Rooster

Note: Bend the knees only as much as is appropriate for your age, ability and joint health

Better to do the Baji a little higher than not at all!

Remember to focus your mind on the T'aoist Longevity Breathing (T'an T'ien breathing)
