Not a happy day
We received some unhappy news today that will unfortunately affect my new Tai Chi class in the near future. Our city council has decided to close our Senior Center by this year’s end. I am very disappointed of course. Many of our seniors are also very disappointed so soon after our class had been started. The city built a new community center so the closing was a possibility. But because seniors will lose some current benefits and will have to pay higher membership fees to use the new facility, it is doubly disappointing.

Yes, that is sad. Maybe check out some church halls that would be willing to support the community seniors by providing space. If you are providing the training gratis, they may be happy to provide it at no charge. Otherwise if you charge a fee they may rent you some space. There are places around here who charge $25 per hour. Blessings.

Live Zoom Recap: Wins, Balance Hacks & Mastering the Form! ☯️
It was great seeing so many of you on our live call last Friday! Here are the quick highlights and takeaways from our session: 🔥 Community Wins - Active Classes: Melody is running two weekly classes in Colorado (including a veterans group!), and Certified Instructor Zola is using creative analogies to keep her Spanish-speaking students engaged. - Big Breakthrough: Dean memorized the full 24 Form sequence in just two weeks to start his daily patio practice! - Teaching Insights: Certified Instructor Herbert shared how he uses Shenzhou's 13 Treasures book to break down footwork and martial applications. 💡 Top Takeaways & Practice Tips - Balance & Horizon: If balance is tricky, focus your eyes on a fixed point on the horizon to anchor your visual system (thanks Dean for sharing this tip). Track your progress in seconds held rather than worrying if your foot drops, and watch the time improve week after week! - Faster Memorization: Learn 1–2 new moves at a time, then go back to the beginning to connect them to what you already know. - Stance Height & Integrity: A modified, higher stance with strong alignment is far more powerful and embodied than forcing a low stance that strains your joints and muscles. - Logging Hours: Use Page 36 of your workbook for self-practice and teaching time to finish your remaining hours toward your 100-hour requirement. Thanks to everyone who jumped on! Keep practicing, and see you in the community! ☯️

I was sick that eve but enjoyed the last half of the meeting. I didn't mean to be rude by not showing my video, and didn't mean to scare you at the end! I meant to trigger my speaker so that I could say hello and goodbye and hit the video button instead. Hope I didn't scare you! And, by the way, I have found that the recreation centers around me often look for Tai Chi classes and I have given them at three rec centers near me at various times. Lacking that, sometimes a local church will rent space for an hour. Around here, it tends to be around $25. Sorry I wasn't well enough to contribute to the class. But that happens now and then. Thank you for sharing your insights. Much appreciated. My health is up and down of late. So please forgive me in advance if I attend and don't show my video. I appreciate the support that attending the class offers. Gratitude and blessings to all. 💓
