Recently I was working with one student in one of our Tai Chi classes, and she was expressing how she was “stuck” on a certain move in the health set. More specifically, she couldn’t keep her balance when standing on one leg in this one spot in the set. She could balance on that legContinue reading “Stacked-ness”

I remember the day I started drinking coffee. I was at my friend’s wedding and I really needed some energy if I was going to dance the night away. It was the summer of 2008. Up until then coffee smelled good but was the grossest thing ever, no matter how much junk I put inContinue reading “Black Coffee Initiative”

In a recent Tai Chi class we were discussing how we can get wrapped up in thought, and lose track of what we’re doing. One thought turns to another, and another.

I am sure that you have heard me mention my nephew Tank, and his adventures in learning to walk. I have learned a lot watching him.

We posted a really cool facebook commercial of some of our students and their testimonials as well as Daniel andContinue reading “Thanksgiving in August?”

In the last post I wrote about how being relentless in my dedication to be better and do better was a good thing. I relentlessly show up both for myself and for my classes who rely on me. These are great things. There is, however, a part of me that doesn’t want to.  That naggingContinue reading “Relentless: Part two – Kate’s ramblings”

What does it mean to be relentless?  This word has been used a lot lately during my workouts. I see this as the intensity, focus and drive needed to smash my goals. Be Relentless! Good, Better, Best, never let it rest until your good is better than your best. Be Relentless. This term keeps circlingContinue reading “Relentless: Part one”
