It’s so sad to have students leave after they’ve been with me for such a length of time. Sean and Vivi are no exception. They started Tai Chi with me when I taught in Chepstow at Equilibrium Holistic Centre and then came with me to Woolaston. They have been fab students, enthusiastic with a wicked sense of humor. I know that Woolaston class will miss you guys and so will I.
Good luck with your new life in Mexico at your Ranch and all the teaching, writing, learning and most of all parenting. Keep in touch and keep practicing hard. Maybe see you out there one of these days.
Check out their website about their place Rancho San Pedro and all their exploits and, if you can, join them for one of their bound to be great workshop/holidays.
Just a quick Thank you to ray for cheering us up with that shirt on an otherwise sad occasion!

Gung Hei Fat Choi or Happy New Year! It’s now the Year of the Tiger until February 2nd 2011.
We had a wonderful meal at The Dragon’s Den in Monmouth with 12 people coming. The restaurant if full of lovely carved objects and even the chairs and tables were carved with Dragons and other such creatures. The food was so well presented it was almost too good to eat (almost, but we all managed to ruin the look!) Thank you to The Dragon’s Den for such a beautiful and tasty time.
Then on 21st February in Saint Mary Street, Chepstow, outside of another lovely Restaurant -The Shangri-La- Yi Quin Martial Arts and Lion Dance group performed a mesmerizing dance down the street. Ocean and I got great views, on particular close look when the silver lion came and ‘nuzzled’ Ocean in the middle of the dance! I have never seen his eyes so wide!
It is a great privilege to have such cultural things in the local area. I can not advise strongly enough to take advantage of these events and go see them.
Talking of Lion Dances, as I have mentioned to most of my students, I found this amazing video of a Malaysian Lion Dance which is well worth looking at.
