I feel my hardcore energy is so strong, but my relaxation energy is so weak, so I decided to try Tai Chi so see how I like it.
It was held at a school in Los Altos, and I wandered around the building until I came across a patio area where a few people were. It looked like the spot.
It helped that it was a gorgeous day. Lately the weather has been blah.
This teacher was this old white dude, but pretty mobile for an old guy 😉
We did warm ups where we stood, then moved our arms in different ways. Stuff like that. Of course, I have no idea what I was doing, but luckily I was not overly hard on myself for being terrible 😉
Then we went into the first form. One of the more advanced students took me to the side and showed me the sequence. I tried the best I could to imitate him.
Then it was a brief cool down, then that was class!
I was very grateful for them to let me drop in.
I honestly don’t know if I will go back, but I AM intrigued. The notion of an “internal” martial art, that is tied to mastery of the “chi” sounds very intriguing to me.
I certainly enjoyed trying the class out.
Let’s see…
Love,
Kristina
