Hallo, I am a 77 year old beginner, looking forward to learn..

We’re delighted to welcome those who have recently joined the Rooted Alchemy community! Spring is a time of renewal, gentle growth, and new energy — a beautiful moment to begin or deepen your Tai Chi and Qigong journey. Please feel free to introduce yourself🌱 ✨ For our existing members — "What helps you stay consistent in your practice during busy weeks when you’ve just started your Tai Chi and Qigong journey?" I think for me, letting go of my own expectations was very helpful emotionally. It allowed me to create a space where I don’t "need to" do anything, but I "get to" do something. Even during the busiest moments, I can find five or ten minutes... sometimes even just two minutes to do grounding circles. It helps me reset and feel centered in a very short amount of time🙏 @Ronda McMann @June Chisholm @Marty Landry @Thomas Fraser @Pam Stecki @Sonia Welch @Nancy Hobbie-Lowe @Victor Marshall @Jan Palmer@Julie Greer @Michele McLeod @Rebeca Borbely @Robert Collins @Roi Weinstein @Brad Carroll @Madelein Cudina @Jack Benson @Carol Gray @Sarah Blue

As we transition into a new season, we’re happy to welcome those who are just joining the Rooted Alchemy community🌱🌻 Whether you’re completely new or continuing your path, this is a space to move at your own pace, grow steadily, and reconnect with your body in a supportive environment. Feel free to say hello! ✨ For our existing members — let’s welcome spring together! Here are a few fun questions to spark connection: - What does “renewal” in your practice look like this season? I’ll start first... this season, I’d like to approach renewal a little differently than I have before (usually change/evolve something). Instead of pushing forward or adding more, I want to return to a beginner’s mind... to see the practice with fresh eyes, as if I’m learning it for the first time again😌 @Elaine DeMasi @Sharon Palinsky @Eva Michaela @Elizabeth Wangmo @Kristan Lopes @T Laird @Lewis Klason @Nancy Reich @Wes MacDurmon @Axel Müller @Ximena Dussan-Aya Pearson @Verena Ellerkamp @Valeria Agustoni @Linda Tapscott @Robert McDunn @Orshi Hunyady @Jee Dax @Paul Custer @David Shipley @Agnieszka Kałużyńska @Adele Dupuis-Miller @Danial Fitzgerald @Terry Ann Sturm @Alan Hubble @Ana Maria Jelescu @Lori Morgan

Hello, everyone! Romania is now on the Rooted map :). My name is Ana-Maria, I am 50 years old, and I discovered Qi Gong four years ago when, after a fall, I decided to calm down a little the Fire in my life that drove me to many intense sports and to let Water flow through my joints and through my life. I took several courses, trying to find something that suited me, not too slow because I still have enough fire, but not too intense because I have other plans for the coming years. Then, one morning, I discovered your YouTube channel, and here I am. From the first video, I felt the fluidity, connection, and joy, so I set out on my journey. I still haven't figured out the time difference, but I probably won't be doing Qi Gong every midnight :). Let's have a wonderful spring with inner harmony and fluid joints!!!!
