Happy spring. Many of our students have asked us about the best suggestions for healthy and beautify body and happy mind. I will start posting short notes from their class notes here. If you have specific questions, we will try to find a time to address them someday.

Student’s Note Fitness299.com

To look slim, beautiful, youthful. And feeling good and healthy inside. Start with sleeping early. Don’t sleep latter than 11pm. Do not sleep too much.

Next goal, do exercise as it fits you. Do not hurt more than gain from the exercise. Learn from good teacher. You should try a few and follow the good ones. Change teacher when you need to fit your own change in needs.

Exercise is different from practice. A practice is a long process of doing something that improves your mind and body overtime. Like Taiji yoga and qigong, and watch you put into into your mouth and say out of your month

CURRENTLY NO IN-PERSON PUBLIC CLASSES DURING COVID CHECK BACK HERE FOR LATEST OR CONTACT US FOR SPECIAL NEEDS KEEP PRACTICING & STAY FIT. TAKE CARE

Taiji or AKA Tai Chi, is practiced in many places like Shaolin, Wudang, etc. It has many variations or lineages. We recommend trying standardized Yang style Taiji as an entry into this world of healthy mind body exercise.

Happy Summer. Hope everyone is well and practicing regularly.
The City of Cupertino has not opened the Quinlan Community for classes on Saturday. This may be permanent.

We like the Quinblan classrooms there because they offer clean, sunny facilities. Positive energy, prana, or fengshui is a part of the benefits for students who drive long distances to join us. We have been looking for alternative places but if you have suggestions in the South or East Bay, Tri-valley of 94### zip code areas, please let us know, email or voice messages, Thank you.

We have posted video for practice on our Wechat group. Please write us if you have suggestions or questions.

Have a wonderful summer.

Now you can also try the following version sung in Chinese.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaYKWnIfoR0

Seat or lie down comfortably. Relax your body. Take three long deep cleansing breaths. Longer on each exhale. Close your eyes. And keep focusing on the flow of the melody and sound again. When the song stop, stay still and remain comfortably seated for a few minutes in silence. Slowly open your eyes.

Observe how you feel inside. Is there any difference from the experience of the previous sitting?

Enjoy your September. Be well and safe.
