The instructor is Vijay Son, Tai Chi Master / Insight Mediator. Note that the video is of him when he is teaching and he is presenting it backwards (left to right) so students can follow (if the Youtube video doesn't show, click thru here to watch it: Video link - https://youtu.be/zOJiLQS9G48 )
Here's the steps, all very slow.
1. Starting. Stand, balance, step left, balance. Bring arms up with hands facing down (like a zombie), then dip hands.
2. Repulse monkey. Swing right hand back and then open hand punch forward while left hand (hand facing up) pulls back as if elbowing a monkey who is behind us. The shoulders twist to follow the two hands. Now punch with left while right arm elbows backwards.
3. Brush knee, push. Step out to the left (foot points to left) and open hand punch with the right to the left while left hand (face down) pulls back to near body. Shoulders stay square. Step back to the middle facing forward. Same to right.
4. Part of the Horse's Mane (or Big Ball). Hold imaginary ball with left arm over it, right arm under. Step left (foot points to left) with right hand slowly launching ball while left hand releases early (face down). Watch ball depart. Reverse to right.
5. Cloud Hands. Right pushes clouds across (inward block) with palm facing towards face, repeat with left, both hands continuing circle while moving back to front position. Step left (foot facing forward) doing Cloud hands again. Step in so facing forward with another cloud hands rotation. Same to right.
6. Golden Rooster. As return to center, lift right foot forward with right hand put like a rooster's comb over the head and other hand pushes down to the side. Hold. Repeat to other side.
