Ginkgo: Tai Chi for Balance

Ginkgo is gentle tai chi and qigong for steadier balance, made for adults 60 and over. Short, calm sessions you can do standing beside a counter or sitting in a chair, with a friendly voice guiding every step. A few minutes a day, and you become someone who walks without worrying. A MORNING GARDEN THAT GROWS WITH YOU Soft dawn light over a living ginkgo tree. Each day you practice, one gold leaf grows on your own tree. Each week of your path is a branch with its real dates, so you can see how far you have come. START SITTING DOWN During setup, a calm voice guides you through a short seated practice. A drawn guide breathes and moves with the voice, with big captions, so you feel what tai chi is like before anything else. AN 8-WEEK STEADINESS PATH About 7 minutes a day: Foundations, Rising and sitting, Steady standing, Shifting your weight, Stepping, One-leg balance with support, Walking forms, and The flowing form. After week 8, new seasons continue. Tell Ginkgo how a day felt (Too easy, Just right or Too hard) and the next days adjust their holds. Chair versions are offered whenever you want them. A WEEKLY BALANCE CHECK Four ways of standing, ten seconds each, beside a kitchen counter, based on the four positions of the CDC's STEADI 4-Stage Balance Test. Check once a week and watch your balance change. A practice check, not a medical test. 39 VOICE-GUIDED MOVEMENTS Clear illustrations and a calm voice, one step at a time, with chair options. Warm-up, stances, weight shifting, single-leg balance with support, walking forms, seated movements, breathing and cool-down. Steady Mind trains balance and attention together. 7 ROUTINES AND 5 PROGRAMS Routines from 5 to 15 minutes: Quick 5 · Morning Wake-Up · Before-Bed Calm · Confidence Boost · Walking Warm-Up · Chair Routine · 15-Minute Complete.

Ginkgo is a practice companion, not medical advice. If you have a health condition or have fallen recently, check with your doctor first, and keep a sturdy chair or counter nearby.
