After meditation and daoyin yoga, we worked with Lake Palm circle walking using twin yang and twin yin postures. We will leave the tai chi posture for another class. The emphasis was on maintaining the two postures correctly and executing the immortal man stepping pattern. During circle walking the idea is not to fall flat-footed onto the front foot, unfocused but to issue power with each step. Therefore, we slowed down our walking to engage those stabilizer muscles in the legs to develop optimum balance and the development of a moving root.
