For people who have never practiced Tai Chi before, you should, first of all and most importantly, find a good, qualified Tai Chi instructor. The process of learning should begin slowly and consistently. This means one can start Tai Chi with brief Qi Gong training at an initial phase before entering into Tai Chi gesture learning. This will give the learner some fundamental ideas of Tai Chi breathing and relaxation, which will help with the mind-body movement along Tai Chi practice. It also requires the learner to persist in attending one or two lessons per week. Generally speaking, one will see some of the above-mentioned health benefits within the first 3 months.

Yes, you certainly can regardless your current level. I have students from very basic level as beginners, and also students who have been training for years from somewhere else. The difference is your session is tailored based on your level and interest. This allows you to make the most out of the time with the teacher. Comparing with a 10-15 student group session, private Tai Chi classes give you a clear program to focus on and, in return, you will learn faster and understand better in a personalised specific way for optimal outcome.
