 Non-Instructional Tai Chi Session on Saturday at NVMS was special. We missed some of our regulars who had prior commitments. However, Deborah from Rhode Island joined us for Yang Style 24 Tai Chi. Nurse Debbie emailed me after finding us on the internet and today I was able to meet her.  See YouTube for a short clip on the doggies as well as our avid participants doing their rendition.

This morning, each of us woke up and did some computer work, then each of us went out to exercise to begin our Sunday morning. Caroline and I went on our walk around the neighborhood on separate paths and Ken did his Tai Chi sets.  Caroline and I used a favorite baking powder biscuit recipe and dressed it up with fresh rosemary and lemon zest. We had a nice ligjt but special breakfast.  A Fish for dessert to signify prosperity after a nice dinner. 3 New DVD'S are now available for you.
These DVD'S contain many of the most current lessons taught in class at Kilauea Park. The purpose of these 3 DVD'S is to give my students another way to learn and practice Yang Style Tai Chi. It is my hope that you will use them mainly to: 1. reinforce my lessons and instructions in class 2. allow youselves to practice at your convenience It is conceivable that one may learn the basics of Tai Chi by watching and studying these DVD'S, HOWEVER, class attendance is the most effective way to learn Tai Chi. Time Duration of each DVD: 45 minutes, approximately Cost: $10 for each DVD Highlights of each DVD: 1. DVD #1: Introduction to Yang Style Tai Chi Posture Warm Up Exercises Tai Chi Walk Instructions: Commencing Form thru Cloud Hands 2. DVD #2: Instructions: High Pat on the Horse thru Closing Form Tai Chi set done with a view from the Back that will allow you to follow and do tai chi with me for the entire set. 3. DVD #3: 5 in 1 Format is like our Non-Instructional Session Warm Up Exercises Tai Chi Walk 5 Sets: -Instructions given -Instructions given + music -Back View -Duet -Solo Chi Kung Music Tai Chi Music A holiday in Hawaii means many things. For those who do Tai Chi, it means, YES, we WILL have Tai Chi. There's always time for Tai Chi.
