T'ai Chi at the Allen Center - Day 16

We were down to three again today. It concerns me slightly that a couple of my regulars haven't been attending. I plan to make sure they are well if at all possible.

The form was nice today. We face true north putting the mirrors on our right. This certainly changed what I could see during the form and may have contributed to the even slower than usual execution. We finish all three parts in about 37 minutes. I think this is the longest I have ever led a group while speaking. I am interested to find out how much slower we could go if I didn't have to use breath to speak, though I suspect that one of the usual three might have issues with anything more extended.

My breathing did speed up slightly in part 2 but resumed a more sedate pace in part 3. Overall, I was pleased.
