Optimal living for 120 years and beyond is now within reach. While the exact number of years may be uncertain, the outcome is clear, more than ever we can position ourselves for getting the most out of a longer life. Follow this blog to see how it can be done! This is not so much about longevity, it's about a longer HEALTHSPAN: healthy, meaningful, vigorous living!
August 28th, 2018. Meet Vince McCullough our 88 year old Tai Chi Master whose group I walked into one morning while I was on my beach walk, part of my 10,000 steps per day exercise goal.
In this photo Vince is celebrating his 88th birthday by leading his Tai Chi class with over 100 students. That’s Wendy Ma on stage so students can have a better view.
Scroll down for two Tai Chi lessons.
Two videos below show the Final Exam of his last class.
#1. Wendy and Matthew lead a group through their final forms.
After class, a group gathers for coffee and conversation, where performing arts, philosophy, and wildly diverse topics are discussed and good books are recommended. Together with the movement of Tai Chi, I have an epiphany: an Ikigai Blue Zone community is emerging. Ikigai is the Japanese concept of having purpose in life.
