Tuesday Practice @ The Studio


 The Details:

It got down to 51 overnight. Sunrise was at 5:12


The Practice:

I went into The Studio to teach Taiji and Qigong class. I had 5 students show up for class, all of them long term players with 20-40 years experience. (Wes, Nancy, Read, Janee and Lucy)

I started off with Single Hand Push-Hands, focused on the horizontal hand turning up as you shift back. 

Next we broke off into pairs to review The Two Person Taiji Dance. (San Shou)

Next I did a round of The 10 + with some explanation here and there. A brief demonstration and explanation of the 3rd Swing.

Next I did a Standing session going from Holding The Moon to Play Guitar on both sides.

Next I did a round of The 21 (Taiji Qigong) tuned into the breathing and opening the body.

Next we did a group Round of Taiji tuned into the principles.

Next I did a Healing Qigong

After class I stayed and did a round of The Dance with Read tuned into the sequence and timing.

Next I did a round of Taiji Jian reciting the names of the postures out loud.

Next I went to the YMCA for a round of CYBEX

Afterwards I went to the bank to make a deposit and to TITO's for a couple of pulled pork bowls, then homeward bound.
