What is Tai Chi for Heart Conditions?
Studies have shown tai chi improves most  heart conditions. Heart conditions are the number one killer for the western world, yet most of the conditions are preventable, and can be improved with a healthier lifestyle. Dr Lam's team has incorporated medical research and traditional Chinese medicine into the ancient art of tai chi to create an effective program. It can prevent or improve most heart conditions, as well improve balance, immunity and relaxation.

Updates

Current instructors can request Tai Chi for Health certificate updates with advance notice and submitting an assignment prior to the workshop.  A fee may apply - check with your Master Trainer.

NB: Assignments submitted late may  incur an admin fee.

This is a 1-day instructor qualification training.  Prior to this workshop, you must complete the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package for Tai Chi for Heart Conditions (SIPP-TCHC), and forward a copy of your completion certificate to Betty:  TaiChi@comcast.net.

Once you register, you will receive information and a discount code to register for the SIPP-TCJC.  This comprehensive package contains essential material to be a safe and effective tai chi instructor for the Tai Chi for Heart Conditions  program.  There are additional webinar videos included that will enhance your tai chi development.  You will have access to these lessons for a year.

You will also need to purchase and read a copy of the Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book.  This is available through www.TaiChiProductions.com (a discount code is available), or through Amazon.com.

During the live instructor training workshop we will review the material from the SIPP-TCHC, including all of the movements.  Participants are expected to be able to perform the sequence of movements from memory, so follow along with Dr Lam on the SIPP-TCAFP lessons and practice each section until you can perform the movements from memory before moving on to the next section.

To prepare, please practice with the video lessons included.  Your preparation helps assure you become certified at the end of the training.  I make every effort to get everyone certified. Those that are not well prepared may require additional practice and an additional Zoom meeting to meet the standard for certification.  

This training will be held live on Zoom.  For a virtual workshop, it’s essential that you have a space where you can be seen from head to toe while being able to see your “monitor”.  The easiest way to do that is to connect your camera (webcam, phone, tablet, or laptop) to a larger TV screen. 

Following the training, those meeting the standard for Instructor Qualification will be invited to join the Tai Chi for Health Institute.  Your membership provides Instructor Certification to teach this form.  

The workshop fee is $250 and does NOT include access to the SIPP      lessons.  A discount code and instructions on how to register for the SIPP lessons will be provided after registration.

Payment can be made via check, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or credit card.  Information provided after registration. 

Update fee:  $150.

Additional Tai Chi for Health updates:  $35 each, must be arranged with Betty prior to the workshop.
