T'ai Chi practice is one stretch after another: from arm reaches and leg extensions (kicks), to Fair Lady Works at Shuttles and Snakes Creeps Down. Its form - I practice mainly the Yang Long Form - is a gentle, continuous stretch, which is precisely how to do it: not tense or bouncing, but extending in a relaxed, centered manner. As I (we) get older, staying flexible and limber are a key to managing properly whatever small or large physical demands we face.
