World Tai Chi & Qigong Day 24th April 2021!
World Tai Chi & Qigong Day 24th April 2021!
Hope everyone enjoyed World Taiji (Tai Chi) Day, when Taiji practitioners around the world gathered together to play Taiji, Qigong, push hands and generally celebrate all things Yin-Yang! This year, due to Covid-19, celebrations and gatherings were typically smaller and low-key. Rose celebrated with a couple of Taiji Zoom classes, and for all our DDA family in Shanghai, every day is Taiji Day, so there was lots of practice going on there!
