Tai Chi: Golden Peasant Stands on One Leg - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats. Hello, my name is Tiffany Chen, I am from William C. C. Chen's Tai Chi Chuan and I am going to do Golden Pheasant Stands on One Leg with you. Turn to the left and get into the posture called “Single Whip”, which is left leg in front, right leg slightly behind. Eighty percent of the weight in the left leg, about twenty percent in the right leg. Left palm up in front of you, right arm extended out to the side but gently bent at the elbow, and the fingers hooked around the thumb. What I want you to do here is relax, sinking into the hips, and sinking into the left leg more. And you will see my body tips forward. I am setting up the left leg and the ball of the foot toe of the left side to pull up my right knee. So you want to create that stable ground before you bring up the right knee, right palm up, left palm down on the side of the thigh.
