Choosing where to begin with your Taoist Wellness Online subscription can feel overwhelming, especially with so many inspiring courses on offer. This article explains the recommended approach to course order and shares principles to help you make the most of your learning journey.

Key Principles for Course Order

Start with Foundational Practice

We recommend beginning with The Art of Effortless Daily Practice, which introduces the core principles of Tai Chi and Qi Gong in a gentle, accessible way. This course is designed for all levels and builds the foundation for deeper practice.

If you are new to Tai Chi or Qi Gong, this course is a supportive place to start.

Explore the Easy Learning Guide and Fundamentals

After establishing your daily practice, consider Master Gu’s Easy Learning Guide and Fundamentals. These courses deepen your understanding and offer practical skills for both Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

You can move between these courses as you wish. All are suitable for beginners and support a gradual, personal approach.

Follow Your Curiosity and Personal Goals

Once you are comfortable with the basics, let your interests guide you. Whether you are drawn to a specific form, philosophy, or wellness benefit, every course is crafted to support your personal journey.

There is no single 'correct' order. Progress at your own pace and revisit courses as your practice evolves.

Examples

For example, many beginners start with "The Art of Effortless Daily Practice" for one month, then add sessions from the Easy Learning Guide as their confidence grows. Others prefer to alternate between courses to keep their routine fresh.

Recommendations

  • Begin with "The Art of Effortless Daily Practice" to build a strong foundation.

  • Move on to "Master Gu’s Easy Learning Guide and Fundamentals" for deeper skills.

  • Mix and match lessons based on your needs and interests; all beginner courses are flexible.

  • Revisit earlier courses as your practice develops.
