As a supplement to your training with Ranna, these CDs Ranna® talk you through the sequence of movements in each third, real time. There are three CDs, one each for the first two thirds of the form and one for the entire form. These are a valuable tool for students already undertaking Yang Cheng Fu Tai Chi training, to use as a prompt during at-home practice.

There are no CDs for the Yang Lo Chan form which is an older more intricate form requiring in-person instruction.
