New Graduates of the Tai Chi/Qigong Leadership Training Program
In October eight talented, enthusiastic women completed our very first Tai Chi and Qigong Leadership program. This training program is for anyone who has a passion for playing Tai Chi and Qigong and who wants to share that passion with the broader community.
Congratulations to Martrise Jones, Joyce Houston, Tina Levenia, Sonia Blake, Marcia Stewart, Jan Brunory, Anne Ramsaur and Carolyn Dozier! They spent the weekend exploring teaching methodology, simple Tai Chi and Qigong forms, breathing techniques, Tai Chi and Qigong with a chair, and teaching safety. They will now carry the fun and benefits of these practices to their own friends and communities.
We plan to offer additional trainings soon. Contact us if you have an interest in this program.
