Breath and balance

I forgot to mention: Add to the list of Things That Were Weird About KCRF This Year? No cinnamon almond booth. WTF. [livejournal.com profile] renniemom sent me a recipe for cinnamon almonds that uses a slow cooker and I'll be trying it out at some point. Since I'm not actually allergic to sugar, I allow myself to indulge in it once in a while and this sounds like a great treat. Especially for holiday stuff.

So, Tai Chi. We...actually didn't do any forms. Lots of breathing and balance exercises, though, so that was fun. The breathing is unlike any other breathing practice I've used before and it's tricky. Bracing my lower abdomen and using only the diaphragm to pull in and push out? Not easy for me. The balance stuff was easy, though. I can rock a balance exercise like nobody's business. Aw yeah. My thoughts on how I feel about it as a practice are going to have to wait a few weeks, though. I get the impression that this instructor moves really slow. And that's fine.

I'm thinking about signing up for yoga classes at Westside again.
