Hello from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am very new to Tai Chi. I am very much looking forward to learning from this community!!

I'm so glad I got in on the last 20 min. the live session today. The discussion around practicing without a video made me realize that I could probably remember the Yin Yang progression. That led to a wonderful 20 min session of Yin Yang Qigong practice on my own. It felt so natural and free! This will defiantly open up new avenues of practice for me. Also, Sonny's way of laying out the progression of intentions from Yin Yang to 8 pieces to Beijing 24 and beyond was really reassuring as a complete newbie. It gave me the perspective I needed to see the invitation to slow, methodical and intentional development instead of focusing on the overwhelming feeling of not understanding very much yet.

Hi everyone! Found this channel on YouTube and really wanted to explore further. I am about an hour west of Philadelphia. I discovered Sonny during a cold, bitter winter here in the NE. I will be starting my day challenge today!

I started my journey and just completed the Day 1 challenge. I really enjoyed the follow up lectures by Sonny explaining Song and the deeper meaning behind these practices. It makes me feel much more connected when I learn about the "why" as much as the "how.

I’ve been outside quite a bit these last weeks, and today, instead of going into the recording session and trying to be “up to date”, I chose to practice on my own. I did the Yin Yang Qi Gong — one of my favourites for the balance of energy it gives me. The usual loosening drill, then Yin Yang, and closing with the dragon and the post posture, just to feel all those movements activated in my inner body. It resonated like a return home. Practicing by myself gave me a sense of gracefulness for everything we learn here — how it keeps living in us, ready to be applied the moment we slow down enough to feel it. We should always give ourselves the chance to practice on our own. It becomes a reference point on our journey — something we can look back on and feel genuinely proud of.
