Very Happy

My new classes have now been running for 3 weeks.  I'm enjoying them very much.  The venue at the Catholic Club in Beverley is great.  The management made us very welcome.

The upstairs room has a good calm atmosphere with plenty of space.  At the moment we are concentrating on basic Qi Gong and working slowly and steadily on the Yang 8 step form.  The class members have decided they prefer a slow and thoughtful approach, which is great for me.

I have booked the room for an extra 30 minutes so that I can work with a student who had already started to learn sword with me.  Most of the group stay for this session and want to join in, so I am probably going to tag a sword lesson onto the Tai Chi Quan class once everyone has progressed a bit more with the basics.

I hope everyone is enjoying the classes as much as I am.  It's great to see people getting into Tai Chi and having fun.  One student told me, I never thought I'd manage to do anything like this, it's great to find out I can.  This is what is so great about Tai Chi anyone can practice it, regardless of age or fitness level.  It can be adapted as needed.

10 days to go

Started posting adverts for my new class today.  Students and friends have been great and have helped  me find lots of places to put them up.

Had a great afternoon doing Qigong and Sword with a friend.  A bit windy, but not too cold so we managed to practice outside.
