Zoom: Tai Chi at Work with Betty Scanlon and Patricia Lawson

Tai Chi at Work is a wonderful small-space form that can be broken into 5, 15, or 30-minute sessions to meet the needs of the participants.  This versatile form is adaptive and can be done seated or standing, and with or without stepping.  

Prior to the workshop, participants must complete the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package for Tai Chi at Work (SIPP-TCW).  This package includes all of the movements, as well as the core topics - What is Tai Chi, the Features of the Program, Why Tai Chi at Work and How Does it Work, Teaching Safely and Effectively.   

This instructor qualification training will be held on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25.  The hours will be 9.00 am - 1:00 pm (US Eastern Time) each day.  

This is a 2-day instructor qualification training.  Prior to this workshop, you must complete the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package for Tai Chi for Work (SIPP-TCW) and forward a copy of your completion certificate to Betty:  TaiChi@comcast.net.

Once you register, you will receive information on how to register for the appropriate SIPP course.  This comprehensive package contains essential material to be a safe and effective tai chi instructor for the Tai Chi for Work program.  There are additional webinar videos included that will enhance your tai chi development.  You will have access to these lessons for 3 years.  Following registration, you will receive a discount code that reduces the SIPP fee to $56.  

Additional required training material is the Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book, which can be included in the workshop fee or purchased separately.  It is available through www.TaiChiProductions.com (a discount code is available) or through Amazon.com.  This book is also available as a Glassboxx ebook through Tai Chi Productions.

During the live instructor training workshop, we will review the material from the SIPP lessons, 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 lessons and practice each section until you can perform the movements from memory before moving on to the next section.

To prepare, please practice using the included video lessons.  Your preparation helps assure that you become certified at the end of the training.  I make every effort to get everyone certified. Those who 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.  Membership is required for certification.

Workshop fee:  $250

Updating your expiring TCW qualification:  $150

Updating other Tai Chi for Health Qualifications:  $35 each

Payment information will be sent once your registration is received.
