Open To The Best Of The Best

Many years ago, I first did T’ai Chi Chih with Theda Gillespie at Rancho Rio Caliente, outside Guadalajara, Mexico. When I contacted Hannah about her classes in Hilo, Hawaii, we were amazed to learn that Theda was also her first teacher. I feel privileged to have studied with two women who share the sincerity, determination, and deep empathy that enhance and reflect the principles of TCC. I also had a class with Joanne Thomas in Vista, CA, and she encouraged me to continue practicing.

Being present, and moving with softness and continuity, is a centering place that brings calmness. I hope to continue with the practice. Thank goodness for the generosity of my teachers that allows me to come back to something so beneficial. I am reminded that at any age, I can connect with these movements-to open to the best of the best inside myself, to the sounds and smells and beauty outside myself, and to the feeling that, all is well, in the push and pull of life. Thank you.
