The Details:
It's 36 at the house....Brrrr! The sunrise was at 7:04. I've got Taiji and Qigong Class from 8-10 this morning and next Tuesday are the last two classes that I'll be teaching this season.
The Practice:
ACTIVELY REFINING is the topic that I presented this morning. I had 4 students show up for class: Nancy, Pat, Janee and Read.
After talking about actively refining we did a round of The 10+ explaining the exercises that fall into the Functional Exercises column and the exercises that fall into the martial skill development column.
Next we reviewed The Dance and I talked about refining vs sequence. I spent a bunch of time on the Push-Hands section of The Dance.
Next we did a Round (right side) I stopped briefly at the end of each posture in Part I and in Part II I recited the Taiji Classics.
Next we did a short Standing Post Training (SPT)
I finished with Healing Qigong.
After class I did two round of Taiji Jian with Janee and Read. I recited the names of the postures during the first round and just the postures and sequence for the second round.
Next I went to the YMCA to do a round of CYBEX for strength training.
After the Y I went to Tito's for lunch before returning to Leyden.
