***ZOOM TAI CHI Classes with Oliver Reimer:
Zoom has been a boon to us during these months of social isolation. It is an awkward medium for doing Taiji together but it does have several advantages. We can learn to adapt our movements to the limited spaces of our homes and that is a very practical skill. The other advantage is that when no one is looking at us we can feel free to make mistakes. Making mistakes is the way the learning process works.
