And I did it more than 7 mins.

ETA. Looking some stuff up.Some things i remember.
There are short forms, and long forms. The 2 styles that began were Chen, and Yang. I think Yang became more popularized.
Several more later were Wu, Hao and ?
You have moves- 16, 24, 28, 30+ something and way more up to like 108 moves.

Seems like the ideal is to reach a ?15 - 20 mins practice, or at least 12 mins.
A short form can be repeated to reach the time goals.

I just found a video: Jenny Lu yoga+
- Yang 24 on YT. A lot of vids. Looks like she mostly covers 2 movements at a time in each vid.

There's tons of stuff from many teachers. Some in still photos, and many vids.

Hope this helps!👍
