Before the corona virus hit I ran regular Chair Chi (seated Tai Chi) sessions for residents in aged care, here in Melbourne. And conducted training sessions for aged care staff around Australia and in New Zealand.

Once restrictions kicked in eventually all those sessions were either cancelled or postponed for a later date. I have found the best way to cope with this major disruption is to maintain a routine I had before the corona virus appeared. I still get up and do my own Tai Chi training before breakfast and during the day. I start and end my work day as before.

The only difference is most of my work day is focused on finishing my memoir (started 11 years ago) and doing a little bit of biz stuff. I'm optimistic we'll get through it and I'll be out and about running programs again but it will take time.

Armand from Chi Skills gives a good explanation and demonstration of how to open the joints. He says the joints are like the energy gates of the body and by opening them all the other aspects of internal training can happen.

I do this for my own personal training and it does make a difference.
