| Greetings and well wishes on the New year! I hope you all have had a happy and relaxing holiday season. I have come back from our break refreshed and inspired about our art. While traveling I stopped in to see some friends that have a Tai Chi school in California – check out their website, it’s got lot of information on Tai Chi http://www.taichi-nevadacity.com/ For those of you that can’t make it to class, I would like to encourage you to find just a few moments a day to practice. I believe the benefit you gain in peace of mind, physical ease and that feeling of energy flowing through your body is well worth the effort.
