My partner and I have been practicing Tai Chi together for five years but since their injury they can't do the forms the same way and they're frustrated and I don't know if I should modify my practice to match theirs or if that would make them feel worse. We used to move in sync and now there's this awkwardness between us on the mat that's spilling into everything else.
More people experience this than they realize.
Physical limitation in one partner is disrupting not just shared practice but the intimacy that flowed from moving together.
