I'm a mix of eastern and western. I was raised neither, but found both through searching. My current practice includes standing, circling and pilates. In the future, I will go to school for traditional Chinese medicine.

That's great. One piece of advice for Chinese medicine: unless you speak Chinese very well, prepare to be confused, unless your TEACHER speaks English very well. Chinese medicine involves a lot of abstract concepts and descriptors that are very easily expressed in Chinese, but are a pain to fully translate into English.

 

I speak Chinese as my primary language, and I *still* become confused whenever my Shifu starts talking about exactly WHY lobok is used for inflammatory conditions and "cooling" medicines.
