New Smyrna Beach Tai Chi Associate Jack F. and Sifu Roy practicing on the beach......

New Smyrna Beach Tai Chi associate Jack F. practicing with Sifu Roy on the beach at the 22nd Avenue boardwalk. We worked on ideas around the 10 exercises, qigong walking meditation, bagua zhang, tai chi solo form, jian sword form and two person exercises and modern arnis' tapi tapi. Great to have a long term student to practice with and bounce ideas off of!!b

New Smyrna Beach Tai Chi Associates Wayne and Marge

An impromptu lesson on the beach: Qigong Walking 
I talked about selecting a walking pace that feels effortless, rhythmical and fluid. With proper head position (chin back slightly), feel the torso gently turning and twisting, as in cross country skiing (right shoulder forward - left hip forward).
Forward momentum is articulated in the mid spine and translated up the body to the shoulders, arms and hands. It's fun and it feels great and it's good for you too!! Win/Win/Win!

New Smyrna Beach Tai Chi Associate Wayne H. from Austin TX - working on proper head position during Qigong practice

A recent training with Wayne H. working on proper head position by using a single finger to assist the head straight back an inch or two, so that the neck rubs the collar. The ear, shoulders, hips and balance point on the feet are all in a vertical line, follow gravity down the body from the head to the feet. Imagine you're standing on a mirror, your mind goes down into the earth as far as your imagination will allow.
