Go as deep as you can in the stances and do it slow and as relaxed as possible(no muscular tension anywhere, just move your body around naturally and freely). Before doing any forms or exercises stretch out and warm up all parts of your body, beginning from your toes and going all the way up to your neck. That will bring you flexibility. Tai chi is a study of motion, balance, application of force, and how all three interplay. You will be studying how to use your maximum strength(martial arts wise) by using your entire body in correct alignment. Your posture will improve. Your mental health will improve by focusing only on the form you are doing at the time and nothing else. If you take this advice and practice dilligently you will often feel strange and wonderous sensations, I know that I do when I do Tai Chi. Tai Chi is also a opportunity for your body to regroup and stimulate itself in other ways rather than strenuous methods of exercise, to make new neural connections in your brain that will make motion and thought easier.
