Hi Allan, Is that a light bulb I hear? LOL. Cheers

Wow! I learned things that I had never seen in 20 years of Tai Chi lessons with a movement as elementary as Grasp Bird’s Tail: I understood that I have to turn a little bit my hips to sit into the front leg and then I step out the other leg. Am I wright? And yet we saw this movement two weeks ago with other details. I know it's very demanding for both of you to produce a video every week. I really appreciate this weekly appointment which allows me to pay attention to details each time different and then I can apply them in the set. This week, I have a big job to apply that sitting way in every toryu. I can't wait to see what I am going to learn in the Snake Creeps low! Cheers!

Hi Lise, We are always learning. Paying attention to the alignments of the hips when you sit helps to open things up and allows the legs to take the load. As you get stronger, it gets easier. Getting the sit as you step helps you to stay balanced and get the most benefit from the Tor Yu in each move. Glad the videos are helping! Cheers
