Cloudy hands

I’ve just come from my first session of Dr. Chen’s Taichi class. There were 4 of us in the batch but we were joined by students from previous batches at the breakwater of the Jumeirah Open Beach. There’s a paved circular area there, at the center of which, we formed a circle and followed Dr. Chen’s instructions. We did a lot of “cloudy hands” for our first lesson, where we waved our hands in slow-mo like clouds in the sky. “Cloudy hands” is one of the forms in the 24-form simplified Yang style Taichi Chuan that we will learn in 3 months. Classes are held Sundays and Wednesdays. (Got to move my Wednesday Safa jog to another day.)
