T for Tai Chi

 

Some years ago, we joined the Taoist Tai Chi group in Dallas. It is an international society with classes run by certified instructors. There are Taoist Tai Chi branches in many countries all over the world. A member, while visiting any other country, can participate in the Tai Chi classes at the organization branch club for free. A type of "when a member, everywhere a member."

From time to time, besides a weekly class, we had an extensive weekend practice with 4 hours of doing Tai Chi, instructed by a teacher from another state.

 Taoist Tai Chi routine

 

In the Hill Country, we found a small group of Tai Chi enthusiasts as well. Although the routine we do now is a bit different from the one we practiced before, the beginner's period and advanced training we did in Dallas appeared to be quite useful here. 

The harsh Texas weather, hardly ever have allows us to exercise outside.

If you have never tried doing Tai Chi, you should give it a try. It is a gentle form of exercising, beneficial for the health, and a good way to stay fit.

PS

There is a Taoist Tai Chi branch in Kraków, Poland as well.
