I had the honor and privilege of initiating three new disciples into the 7th Generation of Yang Style Tai-Chi Chuan:

Rondi Atkin

Stephen Peterson

Robert Wozniak

Margo and Mark hosted at their home in Roseville, and we had perfect weather for a lovely outdoor ceremony. Wanda and Rick came from Northfield and joined other classmates to witness this rare ceremony. Congratulations! Now it begins...

We are looking for an indoor space for the Fall. I am planning on teaching outside into the Fall. I will keep you posted on our new Kwoon, Tang, Mo Goon, Studio, Academy, Home!

Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement this past year. As we emerge from the pandemic, let's put our health, well-being, and practice, firmly in a place of priority and gratitude. So many people told me their Tai-Chi kept them healthy and sane this past year. Why wait for a pandemic? Let's be healthy and sane all the time with our daily practice.

A bow from the waist,
