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.

From the 7-day challenge to the 10-day challenge to a 31-day Tai Chi & Qigong streak! Thank you Rooted Alchemy for getting me on a challenging and rewarding path.

Check out the new Taichi stick video! I love practicing with the stick. It's such a great method of stretching out the upper body. I continue to make it a 30 min. practice daily and I use it for balance while practicing Taichi circle walking. I'm amazed at the benefits and the results that I have achieved through my body's posture and throughout my neck, shoulders, forearms and wrists. Thanks' Sonny for this new video! 🙏
