Hello Friends,

Apologies for the short notice, but I am going to cancel class tonight.

My clients at the physiotherapy clinic are giving a rather bleak report of the current state of the weather outside, and I understand a drop in temperature and freezing rain are anticipated as twilight approaches. The roads are likely to become treacherous!

With any luck, this will be our last weather-related cancellation of the season, so take heart!

See you all on Monday,

Mitch

Hello Friends,

Sorry to cancel on you again. Still a bit under the weather, and my attempts to return to work at the physio clinic have been very taxing on my energy I'm afraid.

We'll pick things up on the coming Monday!

| BLACK FEATHER T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE |

At long last, Black Feather T-Shirts are available for purchase! These are the first items in what will be a growing line of Black Feather apparel.

Right now I have blue, teal, purple, ash grey, and black available in sizes from small to 2XL. Check out the photos attached to see my wonderful colleagues from the physiotherapy clinic modeling the new merch.

Quantities are limited, so if you want a particular size and colour combination act fast! All sizes are $25. Just send me a message to let me know what you want to get.

Hi, everyone.

One of our Tai Chi students is doing 100 squats every day through the month of February as a fundraiser with the Canadian Cancer Society!

The knee strength gainz are sure to be remarkable. 😎

Please consider helping her out with a pledge for this worthy cause. 🙏 See the link below:

In trusted partnership with donors and volunteers, we improve the lives of all those affected by cancer through world-class research, transformative advocacy and compassionate support.

The votes have been counted- Kentville has chosen it's Bird of the Year and it is the American Crow! The Crow is very social, sometimes forming flocks in the thousands- we see this in Kentville at dusk around the Business Park and Coldbrook. Inquisitive and sometimes mischievous, crows are good learners and problem-solvers. They’re also aggressive and often chase away larger birds including hawks, owls and herons. Hooray for Crow!

Here is a reshare of the little video I did last year for three ways of practicing 24.19 - Flash the Back (Shan Tong Bei), like we started working on in class last night.

I'll circulate the link by email as well (soonish).
