Student Comments (November 2020)

From Linda Robinson, Seattle, Washington

T’ai Chi Chih is such a nourishing, energizing and healing way to meet obstacles that come our way. My classes and Sandy’s teacher practice on Zoom have kept me afloat during these challenging times. I have had a lot of discomfort with my hip and knee and was tempted not to teach. But when I start to move, softness and ease appear out of nowhere. My gratitude overflows for the appreciation and dedication my students have demonstrated in showing up for practice via Zoom. Their questions and interest in TCC inspire me. Below are comments from some of my students:

Shelley ~~ Doing TCC remotely during the pandemic has shown me how the practice fits the different circumstances of my life. It’s also made me feel more connected to my TCC group because all of us switched to remote practice. It felt like a big sign of shared appreciation for TCC and our group. The energy and calmness from these sessions are invaluable in these stressful times.

Barbara ~~ Our Monday morning TCC sisterhood long has been a grounding force in my life. The sweetness of seeing everyone (on Zoom) moving together, meditating and sharing our new reality elevates my spirit. The buzz of Chi has intensified. It’s as if the energy is making its presence known. The life force is here, keep going!

Karen ~~ I appreciate the warm support that our Monday morning TCC group provides, especially during this time of isolation. Doing TCC each morning before breakfast has helped me establish some sense of calm for the day. My mind still wanders but there is always something I can do to remind myself of the existence of calm. Thanks so very much, Linda, for providing the instruction and motivation remain connected with TCC. And thanks to everyone for welcoming me into the group; it’s been a lifesaver.

Jean ~~ I developed two healthy habits at the beginning of the lockdown in March: daily flossing and daily TCC. I have rarely missed a day of either. Flossing cleans my teeth and TCC cleans my soul. I feel so grateful for our Monday morning TCC Zoom practice. It is truly life-affirming during this challenging time. Kudos to our teacher, Linda, for her dedication and steady presence.
