Attending the live, interactive portion of the training May 2 & 9, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm on Zoom.  During the May workshop, we will review the material from the Tai Chi for Heart Conditions SIPP, including all the movements.  To become certified at the end of the training, participants will need to show they are able to perform the set of movements from memory.
