How to Do Tai Chi's Horse Stance

How to Do Tai Chi's Horse Stance

Edit Article


This posture is Tai Chi. It is the most common of all the tai chi (taiji) and qigong (chi-gung) postures, and is often used as a separate exercise to increase leg strength, concentration, deep breathing and chi (qi) flow.


The stance and directions shown here are for a posture and standing meditation known as the Zhan Zhuang or Embrace the tree posture. The advice is sound for this posture though readers should be aware that Tai Chi and Yiquan (a standing meditation internal art) work a traditional Horse Stance as well which is a wide and low position.
