Zoom: Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention with Yvonne Eggmann (SUI) held in Deutsch+English

Tai Chi for Arthritis for Fall Prevention

Dr. Paul Lam and his team of medical and tai chi experts designed this program to be safe and effective for people who are at increased risk of falling. It will also provide health benefits and improve almost anyone’s quality of life. More than 30 medical studies have shown its efficacy, and millions of people around the world have gained health benefits. This is why the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.gov), government agencies, and arthritis foundations around the world support it. Tai chi is proven to improve immunity by about 50%. It also relieves stress and improves almost all aspects of health.

Based on the Sun style of tai chi, Tai Chi for Arthritis for Fall Prevention (TCAFP) is easy to learn, effective, and safe. It improves flexibility and muscle strength, increases heart/lung activity, aligns posture, improves balance, and integrates the mind and body.  The TCAFP program includes warm-up and cool-down exercises, the teaching method, knowledge about arthritis and the cause of falls, and how to teach this program safely. This program is the same as the Tai Chi for Arthritis program with the addition of a specialized module to further enhance its efficacy in preventing falls.  Qualified participants who successfully complete the course may be accredited by the Tai Chi for Health Institute to teach this program.

This training has two parts, a self-paced online portion and a live interactive portion. The Self-Paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) is a self-paced virtual program containing essential material plus instruction in the basic movements to train effective and safe instructors. All you have to do is follow the sequence with Dr Lam’s video guides for every step. Complete the quizzes at the end of each unit to move on, and at completion of the SIPP you download your Certificate of Completion to send to the Master Trainer.

After completion of the SIPP, you are ready for the live interactive instructor training workshop to be eligible to become a Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) board-certified instructor. All TCHI Master Trainers around the world can conduct this workshop as listed online at the Tai Chi for Health Institute (tchi.org) website. The listing will indicate whether it is offered on a virtual platform or in-person, and how the hours (minimum of 8) are distributed into 1 or 2 sessions.  

Suitable participants include health and fitness professionals or those with other similar qualifications, and experienced tai chi students.

The live workshop is very personal. The Master Trainer will work with you to answer your questions, help to improve your tai chi, and ensure you can teach the program safely and effectively.  There will be discussions, practice sessions, and sharing of skills and knowledge, Question and Answer portions, and, most importantly, personal interaction. The Master Trainer will give you feedback on what you did well and how you can improve your tai chi and teaching skills and connect you to the Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI), fellow instructors, and Senior Trainers and offer continual support.

Dr. Paul Lam und sein Team aus Medizinischen- und Tai-Chi-ExpertInnen haben dieses Programm speziell für Menschen mit Osteoarthritis und Rheuma entwickelt. Doch alle können vom Programm profitieren und die 

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention (TCAFP) basiert auf dem Sonnenstil (Sun-Stil Tai Chi) und ist leicht zu erlernen, effektiv und sehr sicher. Diese Form wirkt sich positiv auf die Beweglichkeit und Muskelkraft aus, erhöht die Herz- und Lungenkapazität, verbessert die Körperhaltung und das Gleichgewicht.

Neben Aufwärm- und Abkühlungsübungen umfasst das TCAFP-Programm eine Form von 12 Bewegungen, die vom Sun-Stil abgeleitet sind.

Millionen von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt lernten bereits das TCAFP-Programm.

Diese Ausbildungsqualifikation für Ausbildende wird an 2 Tagen stattfinden: Samstag, den 13. Juni, und Montag, den 15. Juni. Die Unterrichtszeiten sind jeweils von 9:00 am bis 2:30 pm (US-Ostküstenzeit) bzw. 15:00 bis 20:30 Uhr MEZ.

Vor diesem Workshop müssen Sie das Selbstlern-Paket für Ausbildervorbereitung für Tai Chi für Arthritis und Sturzprävention (SIPP-TCAFP) absolvieren und eine Kopie Ihres Teilnahmezertifikats an Yvonne Eggmann weiterleiten: y.eggmann@bluewin.ch.

Sobald Sie sich registriert haben, erhalten Sie Informationen, wie Sie sich für den entsprechenden SIPP-Kurs anmelden können. Dieses umfassende Paket enthält wesentliche Materialien, um eine sichere und effektive Tai-Chi-AusbilderIn für das Programm "Tai Chi bei Arthritis und Sturzprävention" zu werden. Es sind zusätzliche Webinar-Videos enthalten, die Ihre Tai-Chi-Entwicklung verbessern werden. Auf diese Lektionen haben Sie ein Jahr lang Zugriff. Wenn Sie selbst Zugang zu den SIPP-Lektionen erwerben möchten, erhalten Sie einen Rabattcode, der die Gebühr auf 56 $ reduziert.

Zusätzlich erforderliche Schulungsmaterialien sind das Buch "Teaching Tai Chi Effectively" und das Handbuch "Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention".

Während des Live-Ausbilder-Trainingsworkshops werden wir das Material aus den SIPP-Lektionen durchgehen, einschließlich aller Bewegungen. Von den Teilnehmenden wird erwartet, dass sie die Bewegungsabläufe auswendig ausführen können. Folgen Sie daher Dr. Lam in den SIPP-Lektionen und üben Sie jeden Abschnitt, bis Sie die Bewegungen auswendig ausführen können, bevor Sie zum nächsten Abschnitt übergehen. Zur Vorbereitung üben Sie bitte mit den enthaltenen Video-Lektionen. Ihre Vorbereitung hilft sicherzustellen, dass Sie am Ende der Schulung zertifiziert werden. Ich gebe mein Bestes, um alle zur Zertifizierung zu bringen.

Diejenigen, die nicht gut vorbereitet sind, benötigen möglicherweise zusätzliches Üben und ein weiteres Zoom-Meeting, um den Standard für die Zertifizierung zu erreichen. Dieses Training wird live auf Zoom abgehalten. Für einen virtuellen Workshop ist es unerlässlich, dass Sie einen Raum haben, in dem Sie von Kopf bis Fuß gesehen werden können und gleichzeitig Ihren „Monitor“ sehen können.

Nach der Schulung werden diejenigen, die den Standard für die Ausbilderqualifikation erfüllen, eingeladen, dem Tai Chi for Health Institute beizutreten. Die Mitgliedschaft ist für die Zertifizierung und das Unterrichten des Programs erforderlich.
