Hey everyone, whether you’re starting fresh because you just arrived or you’re restarting like me to re-establish your practice, this is our spot. The 7-day challenge always feels more grounding when we move together, so this post will stay pinned for our daily check-ins. Let’s show up, keep it simple, and take it one day at a time. ✅ How to Check In Each Day After you finish your practice, follow these three steps: 1. State which day of the challenge you’re on. Example: Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, etc. 2. How you felt before and after. One short sentence for each. 3. Screenshot or photo: A quick picture of your screen, TV, or you practicing. Feel free to leave encouragement for others. A little support goes a long way. ✨ Sample Check-In 1. Day: 1 2. Before: Feeling tight 3. After: Calm and relaxed 4. (Photo attached)

I am finding it very difficult to follow when I have to turn and watching video at the same time. Question, would it help if we had areas view so left is left and right is right?

February is here, and our beautiful community continues to grow — steady like a seed in the ground, growing from its roots 🌱 Let’s give a warm welcome to our new fellow practitioners! 💡 For our existing members: "What part of your Tai Chi or Qigong practice are you currently focusing on?" (I'll start first, I’ve been pretty consistent with my Qigong practice so far. Now I want to dedicate more time to Tai Chi, especially the Beijing 24 Form💪) @Leigh Bavota @Tony Arruza @Fawnda Cox @Ron Smith @Patricia Van Asperen @Jeannette Jennings @Aliza Heckert @James MacQueen @Al Penna @Michael Domingos @Brian DeFiore @Mike Diboll @Shirley Biggs @Jorge Garza @Eric R @Michele Carey @Elaine Reid @Fiona Gilham-Jones @John McColgan @Dan Rosato @Kate Christian @Judith Gilsing @Alan Everett @Michelle Harden @David Sutter @Rob Norwick @Mark Olson @Kevin Redekop @Ashley Ashley @Randall Bass @Jessie Haase
