Spring things: In a study called “Principles of Organized Movement” The MIT scientist Praneeth Namburi is analyzing data captured from tai chi masters performing tai chi, functional movement, and piano at the MIT Immersion Lab. As a visiting martial artist it was fascinating to participate in this thought provoking experience. I am so glad that in this way, I was present at last week’s conference presenting research on Tai Chi for Integrative Health at Harvard’s Osher Center.
Enjoy a photo from my family’s Earth Day/ World Tai Chi Day celebration at the United Nations! Full video coming soon.
Happy Mother’s Day! To celebrate I will bring back Zoom Qi Gong. This will be a 40 minute session of gentle practice exploring 5 element qi gong and tai chi form, offered virtually via zoom. Starting Monday at 11AM, Email me to sign up.

Sifu Ilona Bito
