Students find that the subtle, yet powerful, movements support their other exercise programs. Speed up your progress with Tai Chi, for example. It's also a way to become more flexible with age, and increase your abilitiy to heal yourself.

However, not everyone is ready to slow down in order to speed up, especially since that sounds impossible. But, being tense results in more effort, more working against your own structure, versus using gravity, breath, moving intrinsically from your core and the intention to pay attention. It's all about awareness. I certainly have continually expanded my awareness through practicing for decades.

To find out if what I say is true for you, I invite readers of my blog to a free class to see how you like it on a Tuesday evening from 5 to 6 pm.
