Questions
How does TaiChiAI check my pose?
Your phone's camera tracks the position of your body's joints and compares it with the same pose recorded by a tai chi coach of your gender and build. You see your score live, and a calm voice tells you what to adjust. After a few seconds to get into the pose, hold it: your score is the average over the hold. The camera picture never leaves your phone.
What should I wear for the most accurate tracking?
Wear clothes that stay close to your body, such as fitted trousers and a fitted top. Loose or baggy clothes, including traditional tai chi suits with wide sleeves and trousers, hide where your joints are, which makes the score and the voice's advice less precise. Good light and a plain background help too.
What is the practice timing?
Every pose is shown in its full form. Your practice timing sets your pace: Easy (10 seconds to get into the pose, then a 10-second hold), Medium (8 seconds, then 20) or Hard (6 seconds, then 30). Change it at any time in My account › Pose Practice Timing.
What is a routine?
Your own sequence of poses. Choose the poses, their order, and each one's hold time; the app then takes you from one pose to the next.
What does the free plan include?
Everything — every pose, routines and progress — for 7 days after you sign up. Then choose a plan to keep practising.
Do I need a subscription for live lessons?
No. Lessons with tai chi instructors are booked and paid one by one, directly to the instructor. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the lesson.
How do I cancel my subscription?
In your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
