Does Your Shoulder Hurt? It could be your big toe!

Good Friday To You! I had a very busy day yesterday. So busy, I only got a short morning session of tai-chi due to business meetings and obligations. It was my day off in the gym, so fortunately, I had more time to attend to business matters. I’ll be at home working with my stones [...]

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Happy Valentines Day To You! I hope you are all well and enjoying your (Valentines) day. I had a great day yesterday. My morning was abundant with chi. Though chi is always there, it is like water, we still have to drink it in. After my morning tai-chi session, I got some work done and [...]


THE REED SONG

Happy Thursday to You! I had a very busy day yesterday, but enjoyable. I got a lovely pushing workout in.

TEACHINGS OF THE MASTER WARRIOR

Happy Tuesday to You! My day flew by yesterday. Never a shortage of tasks to be completed… I got a little tai-chi in with the sun peaking through the clouds now and then to say “Hello!”, which is always nice. I had a lovely deadlifting session and was comfortably pulling sets of 4 with 365 [...]


TUNING THE HEART (Part 1 of 2)

Happy Thursday to You! I had a very busy day yesterday; I didn’t have time to do my morning tai-chi, but when I have a choice to “force it in” or “go with the flow”, I don’t force it. The key issue with chi cultivation is consistency. If we create space in our lives to [...]


THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Happy Wednesday to You! I had a great day yesterday and I hope you did too. I had a lovely morning tai-chi session, got some work done and headed to the gym. I asked Vidya to film me doing one of my mini-circuit pulling workouts for my youtube channel. I share an uncommon way to [...]

It’s Friday, Yeah!! I had a focused day yesterday teaching Scientific Shoulder. My students where great and asked lots of questions. I managed to get over to the spa to take a nice steam before dinner, which rejuvenated me. Today, I got a quick tai-chi session in before I began teaching. NO WATER NO FISH [...]
