STAGE 2: Tai Chi for Beginners Instructor Training Workshop with Dr Paul Lam
You can be part of the first group of Tai Chi for Beginners instructors trained by Dr Paul Lam with his latest self-paced virtual workshop.
Places are limited. Acceptance is on a first come, first served basis.
The Tai Chi for Beginners (TCB) program was created by Dr Paul Lam and his team of medical and tai chi experts 20 years ago. It is a great way to bring tai chi to everyone! Dr Lam’s DVD and online lessons of this program have reached many people. On YouTube alone, over 9 million people have viewed the introduction and first free lesson of Tai Chi for Beginners. More and more people are realising that we need stronger immunity against viruses as well as inner strength to deal with more stress.
Tai Chi is proven to improve almost all aspects of health especially boosting immunity and relieving stress. Teaching it will help to bring tai chi to more people, and at the same time improve your own health!
Tai Chi for Beginners is based on the world’s most popular tai chi set - The Yang 24 Forms. This program is easy to learn and quick to bring health benefits. Learners can continue to practice for as long as they like for better health and wellness with this program. When they are ready, this is a good foundation to move on seamlessly to the 24 Forms.
Dr Lam created this package with two stages to help you complete the instructor training in the most enjoyable way.
- STAGE 1: Fundamentals of Tai Chi for Beginners Instructor Training (STAGE 1 TCB) is a self-paced online learning program containing essential material to train effective and safe instructors. If you are a Tai Chi for Health instructor or health professional, STAGE 1 TCB may take 20 hours or less, whereas if you are new to tai chi it would take longer. Dr Lam will be guiding you with videos in every step along a natural learning sequence. Starting with the essential knowledge and theories, he will mix them with practice in between so that they enhance each other at the right time. All you have to do is to be patient and take your time to complete every step of the self-paced online learning package. Once you have completed the STAGE 1 package, you will receive a certificate of completion. Please forward this certificate to our team as soon as possible. (service@drlamtaichiworkshops.com)
- After completion of STAGE 1 TCB, you will be ready for this STAGE 2 TCB Instructor Training Workshop! - a 1-day instructor training workshop to be eligible to become a Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) Board Certified instructor. Dr Lam will be conducting this STAGE 2 workshop online via Zoom, together with his Master Trainers colleagues.
Suitable participants include health and fitness professionals (or other similar qualifications) and experienced tai chi instructors and students.
