"This DVD contains a seated version that is very stimulating, but easy enough to do while I'm going through chemotherapy. It's thorough and it's interesting. It helps tremendously with the anxiety I go through during the treatment periods.
Easy to follow and geared to different levels. You simply do a gentler version and gradually increase your effort until you reach a gentle but vigorous workout.
This workout has helped keep me positive. I'm not sitting back doing nothing during my healing process. And the results are obvious in how I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.
There is also the main standing version which I plan to learn when I'm ready."
The Perfect DVD for a Beginner

"I have had this DVD for 2 weeks and I love it. I have only been doing the exercises in order to build up confidence in my ability to do each movement before I try to put it all together. Some times I do them sitting down so I am just concentrating on the hand movements. The different views really helps to see just how each exercise is done. I also love the way the narrator tells you want the movements are doing to your body.
One note of caution. If you are out of shape like I am, don't do as many repetitions as Ramel does in the beginning. Pace yourself."

Sunset Tai Chi review

"This DVD provided me with exactly what I wanted regarding learning and practicing Tai Chi. Finding all the data and videos on the DVD was challenging as there was no written Table of Contents. I had to play the disc all the way though and then experiment with searching around to find some great additional exercises on the DVD. Search around as there is more on the DVD than you would expect. The quality of video and audio is very good. Sometimes pausing the DVD to look closer at the exercise was very helpful. Going back and forth was also helpful in getting the motion correct. The DVD was shipped and received in perfect condition and I believe is an excellent value."
