Taiji Ball Workshop-   July 19, from 9:00 to 11:00 @ Bowdoin College. Ken Ryan, instructor. Taiji Ball is one of the most effective methods for training the body- connection, strength and flexibility. The workshop will focus on standing and moving Qigong for health and Taijiquan. Particular focus on articulating the spine, which is central to the transfer of "power from the ground, directed by the waist..", a hallmark of Taiji movement. Participants are encouraged to contact the instructor in order to be on the contact list for any changes- kdryan@suscom-maine.net.
