I’ve heard some people say to me, “Tai chi coudn’t be that good, I’m sure it’s really painful and hard on the knees- especially when you’re getting older.”  But seeing how many elderly Chinese do it and remain so agile in their old age, I knew there was something to it that was good.

So now studies confirm that Tai Chi is actually beneficial for the knees.  Basically, I’m for anything that will help people have a better quality of life no matter what their current situation is.

What else has been up with me?  I’ve been down with a knee injury for a few days, but I’m recuperating.  I just twisted my knee during a run in the woods.  It doesn’t help that it’s been getting real cold now.  As Wai Lana says, doing yoga exercises with an injury isn’t always fun, but is definitely worth doing.  So that’s what I’ve been doing. I have had to modify my yoga classes a little since my knee is out, but otherwise it’s been all great.

So do enjoy your weekend, and try out Wai Lana’s asana of the week too.
