2026, the Year of the Horse

For 2026, The Year of the Fire Horse signifies energy, bravery, passion and determination, with the Fire element adding intensity to these traits, and leading to a year of ambitious pursuits and adventurous goals. Key themes are: action and courage (taking decisive action, smart risks and moving forward), balance (a need to balance career, personal life, family and heart) and opportunity (a time for tangible success, career growth and leveraging timing).

Tai Chi Vermont teachers hosted Lunar New Year gatherings around the state, marking the Year of the Horse: Montpelier, Springfield, Bellows Falls, White River Junction, Woodstock and more. Laurie Knauer led a lively group in tai chi and qigong at the Castleton Community Center, which was followed by a potluck luncheon .

Tai Chi Vermont tops

Click here to visit Zazzle.com to choose your style and color and get it shipped directly to you. We recommend choosing light colors so the printing shows up well, clicking on the color you'd like so you can exactly how it will be printed. Select your sizing carefully, and double-check measurements with the size charts (Bella + Canvas shirts can run small). Also, we advise against the tanks and V-necks, as the front logo ends up lower than you might like.
