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
