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.

This is a deeply empowering program, which can be taught to people with different levels of heart conditions, or anyone wishing to use it to prevent these conditions, or just as an enjoyable program to improve health and wellness.

Registration Process

When you register and pay for the live interactive training, you will receive a link to purchase the prerequisite online SIPP course. Normally priced at USD 80, your link will allow you to purchase it at a discount of 30%. You must go to Online Tai Chi Workshops and purchase this separately from paying your course fee to the Master Trainer. It must be completed before the live interactive training. Allow 25-70 hours, on your schedule, and forward the Certificate of Completion to the trainer to qualify you for participation in the live interactive workshop. Do enroll ASAP because you must complete it before participating in the live interactive portion. You will have access to the online SIPP material for one year, and you will find it a great support to your teaching skills. Upon your payment for the live interactive workshop, you will also receive a 20% discount code to purchase the required Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book from taichiproductions.com. The full retail price is $17.95 for the printed version and $9.99 for the electronic version.

What To Wear

Wear loose comfortable clothes and flat shoes suitable for exercise. 

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 instructor qualification training will be held on Saturday, September 6.  The hours will be 9 am - 5:00 pm (US Eastern Time).  

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 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 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.  If you wish to purchase access to the SIPP lessons yourself, you will be given a discount code to bring the fee to $56.  You can also choose to include this fee with your registration.

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.

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 with the video lessons included.  Your preparation helps ensure 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 Board Certification to teach this form.

This course has been approved for 14 CE Hours through:

• Florida Board of Nursing
• Florida Board of Occupational Therapy
• Florida Board of Psychology
• Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling

Updates for other Tai Chi for Health forms are available.  Contact Betty for additional information:  taichi@comcast.net
