#TaiChi

Suite du fil

My first day at the #MSSF2025 was filled to the brim with wonderful music, fun with old and new friends, and (too much) good food!

I started the day with a beginner-friendly #TaiChi session on the lawn led by a fellow volunteer. Then, following a lovely breakfast, and I made my way to the first choir rehearsal in the chapel. Andrew Griffiths from Stile Antico is directing Handel's Oratorio Israel in Egypt. That'll be lot of fast-paced sight-singing for me this week as I've never done it before.

In the second morning session, I had fun playing cornetto in the City Musick's instrumental renaissance music course.

Lunch was a delicious (vegan) Sunday roast after which I was far too full to really be playing the cornetto again, but I somehow managed to get through the mixed instrumental and vocal renaissance course.

After a short tea break, I enjoyed a less intense second afternoon session singing beautiful sacred music by Tomás Luis de Victoria with the Spanish ensemble Cantoría.

Don't tell anyone, but I gave the late afternoon concert a miss (but I'm sure it was excellent) to play some early baroque trios with an old and a new friend on cornetts and sackbuts, instead. I don't mean to boast, but the three of us made a pretty cool sound! 1/2

Trained this evening too. For me that’s twice in one day.

I often pull out a piece of one of the Chen style forms and practice it over and over for example in the kitchen whilst cooking. That’s not unusual.

But this was a full on warmup and standing and form followed by more standing. Then a loosen up. Unheard of.

Ache now but in a good way?

New #introduction after migrating to Hachyderm.io - I work in data/research for a dog welfare and rehoming charity, mostly using #RStats, #Python and #SQL with occasional #QGIS.

I’m also interested in the environment, climate and wildlife. I don’t have loads of free time these days but I also enjoy music (see Bandcamp link!), books when I get round to reading them (see Bookwyrm link!), films (anything from highbrow to Highlander), cycling, yoga and #TaiChi (initially as ways to help manage #arthritis, before I began to appreciate both in their own rights).

I've been doing #TaiChi here in England for about 15 years and still consider myself a complete beginner.
It's a full workout for body and mind.

It may look like gentle exercise but it's surprisingly intensive, particularly once you start trying to focus on positioning, where your weight is placed, and coordinating all your limbs. (I can't even contemplate breathing correctly!).

TaiChi is also a martial art and can be highly effective by an experienced practitioner.

Our group - TaiChi and Quigung - is very sociable and that's a big part of it for me.

Actualizo mi #presentacion a cuenta de la mudanza.

Soy Cirkadia, escritora de novelas de fantasía urbana y alumna avanzada de #taichi.

Las historias se generan dentro de mí a velocidad alarmante, así intento poner por escrito lo que puedo y lanzároslo a la cara.

Publico mucho de gratis en #Wattpad para que me pueda leer el mayor número posible de gente.

El #Patreon y #ShoppityShop tienen material extra para sacarme unas perrillas.

De vez en cuando os daré la murga con #LirioDeSangre, #IEvsHA, #Caprice y #LaResidencia (ésta última sobre todo cuando se acerque Halloween)

Llevo practicando taichí 7 años y soy guía de mi clase, o sea, que me pongo delante y las compas me siguen.

Tengo conocimientos suficientes como para empezar a ser profe de taichí, pero la gracia está en encontrar alumnado.

Me interesan muchos temas y me gusta sentarme a que me cuenten movidas de todo tipo. Así que estaré encantada de seguir cuentas divulgativas.

Luego todo lo que lea me inspira para más historias, así que es el cuento de nunca acabar, nunca mejor dicho.

Tengo treintamuchos. soy asexual arromántica y me estoy planteando que puede que también autista.

Tai chi was brutal tonight but it was good exercise. After 15 years of doing the old form (and the associated spear and sword training) we are now doing the ‘new’ form (new frame) created by Chen Fake which is nearly 100 years old. #chen #taichi

We will still do all the older stuff (including Cannon Fist) but add the new form into the cycle of training.
