 Ying and Yang

Lynette and I find our inner chi at Farquhar Park in York. We got a sneak peek of a free weekend event. It is the 10th Annual World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. Check out some of our moves!

Many Tai Chi movements are based on animals. So teacher Leada Davis had us acting out a tiger, crane and monkey. I was giggling at first but, holy cow, some of the moves were hard! And I have some problems with my balance. I was weebling and wobbling - Lynette did just fine!

We also learned how to do Tai Chi "Chih" from teacher Hope Spangler. It's all about joy through movement - almost like standing up meditation. Even with Nick (Fox43 photographer) running around us with the camera - Lynette and I both were in the zone.

You can flow with the rest of the world during the global Tai Chi Day this weekend. It's free - Saturday, April 26 from 10AM to noon at Farquhar Park Gazebo in York.
