Write Up:
What a beautiful day in the park! We had partly cloudy skies and a nice breeze for our walk through Piedmont Park. Our path took us around the meadows, the lake, and the activity oval, giving a nice overall look and feel of the park. After a short break we started our intro Tai Chi lesson in the grass under the trees. We heard a little history of the art and philosophy behind the movements, then learned the first section of the 64 Move Form. Our instructors demonstrated for us more advanced forms including weapons then joined us for our picnic lunch. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday morning outside!

Special thanks goes to our instructors, Ricky Siu and Adam Dyer, from the Chinese Shaolin Center - Intown.
