Hi Crystal, it is always best to have a teacher to give you corrections but if you want to use a video you can. I would suggest you use my online workshop shop as it goes into much more detail. What is really most important is getting the principles integrated in to the movements, not just learning the movements. This is paramount to success. cainyentzer.podia.com/gsp-level-1-tai-chi-workshop

Hi Sheel, I would time yourself instead counting steps. The amount of time you practice depends on your ability and what you are trying to achieve. I would suggest practicing 5 minutes if your just starting out and see how your legs feel. Then add a minute or two every week and see if you can get up to 20 minutes.
