Tai chi is not comprised of postures

When tai chi is shown in books or photographs, the conclusion of the movement is shown.
This is regarded as being a static 'posture' akin to a yoga posture e.g. warrior.

To see tai chi in this way is erroneous and will lead to a great misunderstanding of the art.
The only static posture encountered in a tai chi class is standing qigong (and this is not tai chi).
