About

Smaller Practice is a place for reflections on Tai Chi, Qigong, walking, easy strength training, and the ways that practice changes over time.

It is not meant to be a comprehensive teaching site or a program to keep up with. It is a small library for ideas that seem worth carrying forward - especially the quieter ones that become easier to notice when less is enough.

Some pieces may begin with Tai Chi or Qigong. Others may begin with a walk, a strength session, a changing body, or an ordinary moment of movement.

The thread running through them is practice made smaller, more adaptable, and more at home in the life that we are living right now.

Written by Al Simon - reflecting on movement, practice, and teaching ... and what remains after decades of it all.
