Friday Mornings on Zoom, “Healer Within” Tai Chi
Spring Qi Greetings! Our “Healer Within” Tai Chi with Robin practice will continue on Friday mornings from 9-10 AM on Zoom through the summer months. New students are always welcome to our Zoom practice group. Our Friday morning practice includes a qigong warm-up with gentle movement, self-massage, and mindful breathing practices. We also play with the Tai Chi Easy™ five-movement form and the Integral Tai Chi nine-movement form. *Please note: There will be no Zoom class on Friday June 23rd as I will be at Omega Institute taking a qigong workshop with Ken Cohen. https://www.eomega.org/workshops/teachers/ken-cohen

A brief note about our history and a milestone!
This July will mark our Tai Chi practice group’s seven year anniversary. Interestingly, the group began when I returned home from an intensive five-day practice leader training at Omega Institute https://www.eomega.org/ Continuing my learning journey, I enrolled in the teacher training program Dr. Roger Jahnke and Institute for Integral Tai Chi and Qigong (IIQTC). http://www.instituteofintegralqigongandtaichi.org/ And amazingly, In 2019 I completed the IIQTC’s 200-hour program and became a certified tai chi and qigong teacher.
It is good to honor milestones. Some of you have been with me since the beginning while others are just discovering our tai chi practice group. Wherever you are in your health and life journey, I welcome you to join us!
