Yesterday I got an internal nudge to rego through the great lessons series by Rocky Mountain Taichi teachers Lee and Beth.
Yes, I practicing this for a while already, but life happens sometimes in a way you have to skip a day. Or two.
And after a difficult week on the work, during which I had to skip whole days in a row, I decided – why not review all these 13 lessons and start from scratch?
And know what? It was a useful thing to review all that! I found that I made Animal Frolics lately with some extra spoon of hurry that took away all the joy. And missed few important details in process.
Speaking of the details, now I recognize in these basics some bits I thought they are specific to round form and the deep dive lessons. But no, if you do Animal Frolics with proper attention, you have these bits too, even if some see them as beginners-only stuff and so on. In reality, there are no “beginner-only thngs” and basics span though all of taichi / taijiquan.
