1.We've just celebrated our second annual workshop on June 27th and June 28th with IATLA instructors Ben Chung and Richard Williams. It was a wonderful balance of the Yin and Yang.
We've all come away motivated to dig deeper and improve our understanding of Tai Chi.
2. Tomorrow, if the weather cooperates, we will be doing Tai Chi at Topsail Beach. Should it rain or should the grass be wet, we will hold class at Topsail United Church. This will be our routine throughout the summer for Mondays and Fridays. There will be no class on Wednesdays.
During summer, if we are at the beach there is no instruction, just lots of donyus, a couple of sets and some real communion with nature.
