Are you making your New Year’s goals?
So for me, it’s getting myself into that gentle movement and connecting with my body for me.
This is what the practice of tai Chi is for me.
Everybody’s experience is different. That’s why working in person with a teacher that can connect with you,Talk with you and also share The practice. Is my goal for this year. 

...but, you will still begin to increase happiness!
In your first several classes, you will most likely experience you lack coordination to do Tai Chi,
but, you may still begin to increase happiness!
Perhaps several weeks into learning Tai Chi, you still can't remember the movements without the teacher present,
but, you may still begin to increase happiness!
No matter how many years go by, you will still not have all the movements perfected, or know all there is to know,
but, you may now have found the happiness you seek!

Welcome vata season
Let’s keep ourselves lubricated
One of those ways is to oil the nasal passage
You can do a daily Nasya (oiling the nasal passage) with sesame oil or ghee.

Lubricating the sinuses in the winter months will help with a dryness that we so easily can have.
The simple technique of Nasya is the lubrication of the sinuses, the nasal passage.
For this, you can simply add a dab of Oil into the nasal passages and allowed to lubricate the area. You do not want to do this. If your nose has water in it, you do not want to do it if you have a cold or infection.
You can use oil such as olive oil, sesame, or even ghee
