One of the coolest things I've done. I love introducing my practice to a new audience. Collaborating with the extraordinary sound designer and sleep expert Tom Middleton was magical 🙏❤️

@Inki_FairyTales @AipingTaiChi Yes the entire livestream will be saved:) I will also upload a YouTube edit of it for better viewing later too.

This Sat is World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. I'm hosting an event with some amazing presenters and will be livestreaming it on both our YouTube and Twitch channels (@aipingtaichi). We'll be live Sat 2PM - 6PM EST. Hope you can join us!

@Inki_FairyTales Yes, I was off Twitter for a very long time. I move to slow to keep up with it 😆

1. Start with Short Sessions: Just 15 minutes of Tai Chi before bed can make a difference.
2. Focus on Breathing: Tai Chi emphasizes deep, controlled breathing which is key to relaxation.
3. Consistency is Key: Practice regularly for the best results.

I tried Threads. I have as much to say over there as I do over here 😂

@Inki_FairyTales Thank you for sharing ☺️🙏❤️

[Shifu Shirley @thestressbender]

@Inki_FairyTales I'm so sorry, I just saw this reply. Thank you so much 😊🙏❤️

We had a truly fantastic event for Saturday's World Tai chi and Qigong Day. Getting rained out and moving indoors also meant we got to livestream and share the event with friends near and far. Here is the recording: https://t.co/4zz8WSJjky

Looking through the photos and videos students uploaded in the Dropbox I set up for World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. This image name of the Northern Wu Style Tai Chi demo is my favorite 😆

[Shifu Shirley @thestressbender]

The livestream will be of the red carpet area where we'll hold demos and the "red" workshops. I won't be able to be on air in the broadcast, it'll just be a live feel of the event. But I can come hang out a little during the 12PM - 1PM EST lunch break. Hope you can join us!

Bad news: Tomorrow's Southern CT World Tai Chi and Qigong Day event is rained out. Good news: I'm moving it inside my place and will now be able to livestream it! Watch on https://t.co/ikfgp8YSQI or https://t.co/Cw2ikkLwS4. Program schedule is all in EST.
