First off, no long winded pre-amble. Just a very quick intorduction and straight into the flow. I love that. 

The encouragement was perfect,  I know I wasn't getting the move exactly right and hearing "Don't worry if your moves aren't right, just keep moving" was exactly what I needed. 

There was a heavy upperbody portion, which again was just what I was looking for. 

I will certainly be returning to this channel anytime I am searching for a new Tai Chi flow.

Not gonna lie here, when Katrin mentions in the open this is aimed at those "a little bit over 80" I felt I had picked the wrong video. But hell I have not done any yoga in over 20 years so I am goin to roll with and see where it goes. 

This session was actually a grea start, only about 20 minutes, nothing overly strenuous or difficult. It was a great way to start my day with a simple and effective stretch for my upper body. This was an unintentional perfct fit as I am currently workikg with a physiotherapist on an impingement in my right shoulder. 

The session took me through a handfull of seated upper body stretches, and cloncludes with a small number of stretches from a kneeling all-fours postition,. 

I could feel the effect of the stretching almost immediately, and will definitely be bookmarking this video, as well as gicing day 2 a shot.

Ah! Im' bad at this!

 

Turns out I am terrible at regular updates.

Well, finger crossed I can get better. I have recently started a new job with an old employer, and trying to wrok out a new schedule for daily activities. 

I will start using the time in the mornings when my partner is taking our daughter to school to squeeze in some physical activity. Star5ting to some light yoga and taichi. I will update with whatever I can find on youtube. 

Maybe an update tomorrow.
