Five Principles/Book Tour Begins

Hello All,
I began my U.S. book signings/workshops tour this morning at the Milan Institute in Nampa, Idaho. This evening I will be close by, in Boise teaching the Five Principles with Five Birds Tai Chi for the Boise Schools Community Education program. My first stop was at the request of my favorite former student, Jennifer Dunn, who now teaches the Massage Therapists class (and probably many others) for the Milan Institute. In the photo below, the top of her head is barely visible behind me. Jenn asked me to come into her class and give a brief body movement workshop to her students, to demonstrate what they might learn at the three-day class that begins this evening. Thanks again to the class and to Jennifer for allowing me to come by and present. I had fun and hope that they had fun, as well. More about the book-signings and workshops will follow.
