The Details:
It's 63 at the house. It's a bonafide rainy day. I'm going to start packing a drum set for the gig this weekend.
The Practice:
I started on The Deck under the awning because it was raining.
I did a full round of the original 10 Exercises focused on preparing them to present to the Taiji Class this coming Saturday.
Next I went up to The Loft and did a Round (right side). I recited my version of The Taiji Classics during Part I and focused on the quality of my Empty Steps, Zhong Ding and Taoist Longevity Breathing.
Next I did a Standing (PT) session tuned into the Taoist order of postures.
Next I did Healing Qigong.
Next I researched the names of Changes 5-8 of Yin Style Baguazhang (both sides) I recited the names of the postures and Palms as I did them. I'd really like to memorize the names of postures for all 8 Changes. I'm a little more than 1/2 there! Perseverance!
Next I did a round of Anyo Pito tuned into using the correct sequence in the correct direction and flow.
Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata focused on sequence and basics.
Next I went back outside, this time to my main practice area with two wooded broadswords and did a round (one side) of Taiji Double Dao tuned into shoulder health with every 'round the head' movement.
