Just go to your nearest park in the morning (about 7:00am) and find the biggest group of people that is practising Tai Chi, get to the back of group and just follow them.

it is important to have guidance from the beginning on. as with all martial arts, you need to understand the concepts instead of making circles/movements with your body only. I would opt for classes unless you can get mentoring during the morning 'sessions'.

I saw this one lately, but you need to read chinese:
