Pounce like a Tig(g)er

Last Thursday, I returned to James Saper’s Qi Gong class. Of the 5 Animals (Wu Qin Xi), the Tiger is my favourite, although in the past several months, I have lost the stealth of the namesake animal. Instead of sneaking up on my prey and capturing it, I was clumsy – at first. It’s incredible how the body remembers to move gracefully given the chance to practice it again. After leaving, I felt “sproingy” – like a Tigger! Often, I exercise my brain too much and forget about my body, but the body knows and reminds.
