Tai chi grows strength underground, just like potatoes in a dirt bag.
Looks like nothing for weeks. Then — green shoots.
Move. Breathe. Wait. Strength builds where you can’t see it.
Join me if you're ready to grow something invisible. Class starts May 17 in Sebastopol.

New #introduction after migrating to Hachyderm.io - I work in data/research for a dog welfare and rehoming charity, mostly using #RStats, #Python and #SQL with occasional #QGIS.
I’m also interested in the environment, climate and wildlife. I don’t have loads of free time these days but I also enjoy music (see Bandcamp link!), books when I get round to reading them (see Bookwyrm link!), films (anything from highbrow to Highlander), cycling, yoga and #TaiChi (initially as ways to help manage #arthritis, before I began to appreciate both in their own rights).
Understanding the Monastic Roots of Baguazhang

Introduction
Baguazhang (?
?卦掌), translated as “Eight Trigrams Palm,” is a Chinese internal martial art known for its distinctive circular movements and fluid footwork. While it is widely practiced today for both martial and health benefits, its origins are deeply rooted in monastic traditions, particularly within Daoist practices.
Historical Background

Today was World #TaiChi day, so we did some #taijiquan in the garden.
It turns out it is surprisingly difficult to get a good still photo of Push Hands training (Tui Shou), but this one is at least amusing.
Push Hands trains sensitivity, listening, adhering and following skills; how to receive and redirect force without tensing up and resisting using strength.
It embodies a key principle of #Taiji, that of "Investing in loss", learning from failure rather than becoming obsessed with 'winning'.

When have you felt yourself move with your body, not against it?
Felt a twinge in my back and then remembered how to relax.

Finger Qi Gong
Found this finger #qigong video that I made a while back. It's got very few views - a lot fewer than I think it deserves, so I post a link here, just because...
The sound is poor, so you may want to enable subtitles.

Feel the pulse of life inside of you.
Your heart, your breath, your energy.
Listen close and listen well.
This is the real you.
The one that you have to take good care of.

For the funeral of my wife's beloved Tai Chi teacher, I was asked to facilitate connection with distant friends & students. Here's what I did.

The goras sat cross-legged, their knees floating high above the floor. Pramila marveled at the paleness of their bare feet. Kalpana pointed to her own knees which, in the same cross-legged position, rested comfortably on the floor. “They must be sitting in chairs mostly,” Pramila whispered.

I've been doing #TaiChi here in England for about 15 years and still consider myself a complete beginner.
It's a full workout for body and mind.
It may look like gentle exercise but it's surprisingly intensive, particularly once you start trying to focus on positioning, where your weight is placed, and coordinating all your limbs. (I can't even contemplate breathing correctly!).
TaiChi is also a martial art and can be highly effective by an experienced practitioner.
Our group - TaiChi and Quigung - is very sociable and that's a big part of it for me.
