Friday Practice - Day #7 in the rotation

 

The Details:

It's 38 at the house and sunny. I've got a vehicle switch this morning (or afternoon!). GG is going to NETA and we are having dinner with Genna and Ali tonight at 6 in Brattleboro at The Echo Restaurant. Whew, it sure does get busy as we approach migrating to NSB.

The Practice:

I started on The Deck with a full round of The 10+ sans the dumbbell routing at #8. I tuned into being consistent for my health.

Next I did a Round (left side) about 1/2 way through I realized that I did the left side yesterday and today should have been on the right, but I stayed on the left regardless. I recited the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II.

Next I did a full round of Yin style Baguazhang 8 Palms Set, Changes 1-8 (both sides) I recited the names of the postures throughout. I had most of the names for #5 (Phoenix Palm) and #6 (Unicorn Palm) 

Next I did a round of Anyo Pito tuned into using the correct sequence, direction and techniques. 

Next I did a round of Kusanku Kata focused on mobility and agility.

Next I did a round of Sunsu Kata focused on using the correct sequence and techniques as well as catching up with the rotation.

Next I did a round of Double Dao using wooden broadswords. I tuned into the 'Bind the Head' sequences for my shoulder health.

I ended with Healing Qigong and returning to the house to journal today's practice.
