Rooted Alchemy family, we just surpassed 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. Wow. Back in August, who would have thought we would build a Tai Chi community of over 100,000 people practicing together from all over the world. This journey has been incredibly humbling, and we’re deeply grateful to every single one of you who has been here, practicing, watching, and growing with us. We’re excited for what the future holds and grateful for your patience as we continue building intentionally behind the scenes. Just know that we’re still early, and there is so much more to come. And a huge thank you to Sonny for practicing, teaching, and learning with such depth and integrity that it naturally spread far and wide. Stay the course.

Thank you all for participating in the "New Year, New Qi: 10-Day Challenge" and for the hard work, consistency, and inspiring energy you brought into it. Watching everyone show up for their practice has been truly motivating. This challenge was such a beautiful reminder that we are a true community, inspiring one another as a collective force. It’s something we’d love to continue creating more often in the future. As a celebration of your effort, we’ll be drawing the New Year’s Challenge winner this weekend 🎉 Stay tuned — we’re excited to share the moment and celebrate together!

Your dedication to the arts has shaped an incredible, supportive, and ever-growing community. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to martial arts, Qigong, and Tai Chi, and for the care you put into sharing these practices with people all around the world. Your guidance, discipline, and presence continue to inspire us in our practice and in daily life. Happy birthday, @Kirby Mannon Community, drop a comment and show him some well-deserved birthday love.👇🏾☯️

Truman also enjoys the Tai Chi stick in the morning. So much so that he borrowed mine for awhile. Luckily he knows that the stick is only for the paws😄. If you have a little friend who likes to join you for practice, feel free to have them say hello if they aren't shy. 🐶🐈🦜🐍🦎🐢🐁
