The Long Yang Form. Including 'The Magic Bird Spreads Its Wings', a programme by Norwegian Television.

In this video Gerda Geddes demonstrates the Chinese Art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan Long Yang Form. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is an ancient Chinese movement ritual and the gentleness of its movements make it beneficial for both young and old alike. Its aim is to promote harmony between the Spirit and a healthy body.

Gerda Geddes spent her childhood and youth in Norway. She studied Psychology in America and completed a Reichian Training Analysis in Oslo as well as a four year modern dance course. She taught dance and stage movement at the Norwegian National Theatre and in 1949 she went to China and lived for ten years in the Far East where she studied T'ai Chi Ch'uan with Master Choy Kam-Man, an internationally recognised teacher.

A film has been made of her life and work by Norwegian Television that is also included on this video. She is the author of the book 'Looking for the Golden Needle' - an allegorical journey.
