Did you celebrate World Tai Chi Day this past Saturday?
We had a great crowd at the Northwest Family YMCA World Tai Chi Day and Qigong Celebration.
I took the group through a couple of Qigong segments, including an Eight Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) series performed outside under the lovely oak trees. It got too windy though, so we regrouped inside for more Tai Chi and Qigong, including a flowing progression through another famous, wonderful Qigong form, the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic).
We also reviewed the Tai Chi 10-Form and Simplified 24-Form, plus enjoyed other Tai Chi and martial arts demos.
All in, a great morning and a winderful way to come together and celebrate these health-enhancing practices.
