CLASS DESCRIPTION

  Participants should already be able to perform the Tai Chi for Arthritis 1 routine from memory.  Perfection is not required, but a basic understanding of the routine IS HIGHLY recommended for this IN-DEPTH program. Practicing from the online video course or our Free Friday Tai Chi session in Melbourne Beach can greatly enhance understanding of this particular tai chi routine. 

  By the end of this well-structured program, participants will easily remember the entire Tai Chi 1 routine and have a greater understanding of tai chi benefits, principles and history.  Each session includes participant-led warm-ups and flow of Tai Chi 1 routine, discussion of 6 basic tai chi principles plus introduction to Yang Chen Fu's 10 Essential Points and how these principles integrate into and affect our daily lives. We will also emphasize full understanding of the most repeated move in the routine: Open/Close by taking time to understand proper breathing mechanics.  

   Each participant will be asked to lead portions of the sessions and receive feedback from all class members.  We will improve our tai chi together using constructive discussion of details and the "sandwiched feedback" technique.  We will conclude our sessions with cool downs and qigong meditation. 

  A minimum of 5 FULL COURSE partipants are required to run this program.

Weather permitting, we will meet outdoors by the lake at Gleason Park, Indian Harbor Beach. If the group votes to move indoors for whatever reason, sessions will take place at Lea's in Indialantic. 

PAYMENT/FEES 

$80/Full Six Weeks 

$15/session

FREE to $75/month Class Members

Remember, we must have at least 5 FULL COURSE commitments to run the program.  Too many people begin a tai chi program and then quit.  This makes it NOT financially doable for the instructor when sometimes only 2-3 are left to complete the program. So I am requiring minimum 5 PAID IN FULL UP FRONT to begin. Start talking to your friends about it now and get them to join us!

   Once you have registered/paid online, you will receive emails confirming your purchase.
