The Details:
It's 53 at the house. It's forecast to be getting warmer as the week goes on. I'm going in to The Studio to teach the 8:30-10:00 Taiji and Qigong class.
The Practice:
I drove in to The Studio to teach at 8:30
I started with just Ruby and myself. Then Janee and Read came I had a text from Jack that he wouldn't be able to make it today.
The theme for this mornings class:
"Neither severance nor splice"
I did a full round of The 10+ focused on functional health.
Next I did a row of 90 degree Taiji stepping focused on starting on the one and concluding on the & of four. Focused on the opening and closing of the Kua. I also talked about Soong and using the waist to direct the arms and the legs.
Next I did several repetitions of the first few postures for Ruby.
Ruby video taped me front and back doing the stepping drill and from the front doing the beginning movements of the form.
Next Janee, Read and I did a Round (right side) tuned into the conclusion of the postures.
Next we did a brief Standing and Healing Qigong.
I finished with a round of Taiji Jian with Read. I recited the names of the postures throughout the form.
