@Kirby Mannon I have a couple more basic questions: 1. Footwear: is there a ‘recommended’ footwear you like to see? As I’ve been practicing indoors, I’m just in socks and wondering if that’s good or bad. 2. Sonny - your title…do you have a preferred title or method in how we address you? Thanks for the safe space for rookie questions!

Good morning, everyone🌞 Wishing you a calm and grounded Monday to start your week ahead. How’s your 7-Day Challenge coming along so far? Feel free to share your experience so far in the comments. We’d love to hear how it’s going for you✨

Only two days in to the challenge, and I am loving the Rooted Alchemy 🤓. @Kirby Mannon - I find your teaching style and delivery so calming, natural and sincere, and the focus on why we're doing the moves, as opposed to just copying them, is so much more fulfilling than other 'quick fix' online trials I've seen. I do worry a little that I'm not executing every move just right - I need to work on my 'curve' - but today's movement tutorials have really helped. I'm trying to obey the 'don't insist, don't resist' advice, too, to not over-stretch on moves like Crane Cools Wings. More so, I really enjoyed today's Qi Talk - that aspect of the practice was quite unexpected; again, so much more than just 'follow a chart of moves'. I love the depth of symbolism and explanation, and the theory behind the Tai Chi practice, movements and elements. Really great learning - thank you. I hope everyone else is finding this as rewarding as I am, and enjoying their practice.

Every practice begins with a first step, and this is ours together. In the comments, tell us: 🌍 Where you’re tuning in from 🌱 If you’re brand new or already on the path 🎯 What you hope to grow or discover here Your voice adds to the energy of this community ✨
