Title Barefoot in the Sand caught my eye. Funny storyline and nicely matched music make me revisit. Catchy start and the ending always makes me smile. No happier ending. So... why so few views? Word "Senior" on cover photo putting people off? It's a beach summer story - suitable for all ages (In reality would actually be least suitable for seniors because it can be a challenge to keep your balance or smoothly transition in the sand.)
Fantastic DDR! This is up there with the garden in Portland in the rain. Nothing like starting the mornings with your routines. Still very excited about starting my taijifit instructor training and joining your academy. When you get a break please email me regarding my message. Thanks again for being such a wonderful influence in the world!
David Awesome Video ! I started out doing piece by piece wow I shocked my self doing the whole form I should of picked up Tai Chi when I was younger when I had a Chinese teacher who wanted to teach me I guess better late than ever thank you so much for making it simplistic!
hi DDR. I have a question. When doing Opening the door, you are supposed to breathe in as the hands rise. But what if your lungs are weak and can't keep breathing in all the way. Are you supposed to raise the hands faster in that case?
Oh what a wonderful question! It's easy to get mislead by the "supposed-to's" you hear about Tai Chi practice. We have so many principles and patterns. But underneath all of that is a principle called "Ziran" which translates as "natural-ness." In this case, if your lungs feel weak and you can't keep breathing all the way - well, then breath twice. Let it be natural. In my school, I remind my students all the time: "You do your Tai Chi with the body you brought with you TODAY." But Voko here's the good news - slowly but sure, through your practice, your body starts to change. Your lungs get stronger and your breath gets deeper. It can't be forced; but it can be nurtured.
David I love the way you talk us through all the steps
I just love the way you perform, teach, and share Tai Chi... God bless you!!!
Beautiful! Your words like a poem. The music & waves holing the space.
Thanks for the very mellow routine!
Grabing this for summer..every day practice thank you..

wow. thank you so much. I like the way you answer. I wish I had that kind of skill.
I think that classical music will be best
