While my kneecap is healing, I have been working on Qi Elements YouTube channel, qielements1. I have created some new playlists and added more description for the videos. I have downloaded and am going to reedit some of the videos of the classes we live-streamed during COVID so that I can cut them into segments by topic. Many of the classes covered several different routines, and I think that breaking them up by subject now is a more useful way of organizing. I still have a lot of work to do on this project, but our channel has 250 different free videos on Qigong and Taiji subjects, so if you haven't visited the channel, you might want to now. If you find the videos useful, please remember to like the video, and maybe subscribe to the channel. It's all free.
