Dragonfly Tai Chi and Qigong

Little bit colder this morning but it can't have been too bad because I didn't need my gloves on. Very rugged up though☃️. Wasn't expecting too many to turn up so was pleasantly surprised by the good roll up. Bit of a different backdrop as we needed to tuck in out of the wind. As usual had a great coffee and chat with the group afterwards at Chop 'n Chill 🙏☯💜🥶

Great info from Oriental Wisdom. Thanks Tania🙏💙

Our visit to Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum was a very sobering experience. Humans’ ability to create and cause extreme destruction continues, sadly🥲

Last night’s farewell dinner

Himeji Castle. This magical castle dates back to 1601. The climb up all the steep internal staircases was great exercise😊

Again, a beautiful morning for Qigong at the park. I wasn't expecting it to be so warm and so I was roasting a bit in my long-sleeved t-shirt 🥵 😄🙏☯💜

Wow, what a beautiful morning for Qigong. It was so peaceful and the weather was perfect. Mild with a gentle breeze and a lovely cloud cover prevented us from getting too hot. Yes, the sun still has quite a sting to it up here🌞. Thank you to all the lovely participants who came and shared the bliss 🙏😀☯💜
