Footsteps in the Snow

'Tai Chi is like walking in the snow, it makes you more aware of how you walk', 

Over the last week the expected snow has disrupted some of the  public classes, but for some of our students, the snow has given some insights into the benefits of Tai Chi practice, as they have reported better balance.
Over the last few weeks, we have spent some time practising stepping and turning in the Ta ichi manner, using various 'Tai Chi Walks"

'The 'Tai Chi walk' is a thoroughly conscious decision to control every aspect of walking: stepping, balance, weight transference, alignment, observing every detail' we use a number of different versions.
​One simple example of this is the 'Seven Star Step' which is practiced as a solo, and paired exercise. As a solo exercise, try really slowing down, and focussing upon the timing of each component.
