Dear friends of Qigong and Tai Chi,
NEWS
It's been a lot of fun doing Tao Yin, qigong, and meditation with students and friends this year. The changes that can happen in a person's life from a shift in physical health and spiritual outlook are really quite rewarding.
Now as we come to the end of November, I invite you to join me with Tai Chi ! It starts soon, Monday November 28.
Tai Chi is a great way to calm down the nervous system, strengthen your connection to the earth, and do meditation through movement.
More details and schedule below . . .
INTRO TAI CHI QIGONG 1 Program ONLINE -- Starts Monday November 28!
INTRO TAI CHI QIGONG 1 program ONLINE: MWF for 6 weeks, starting Nov 28 (OPEN enrollment)
This six-week program in Intro Tai Chi 1 gives you the foundation in Tai Chi, as well as enables you to learn the fundamental Tai Chi 1 form.
There are many other instructors that teach the Tai Chi 1 form, so I'm not unique.
But my focus is on giving a well-rounded instruction on how to do Tai Chi in a rooted way, so you move with a strong connection to the ground.
If you move in a grounded and rooted way, it amplifies the healing potential from the earth energy, it stabilizes your emotions and nervous system.
Also, quite honestly for those who are interested in martial arts, rooted Tai Chi creates a stable structure in movement.
While my focus is on the healing aspect of doing the form, I will also demo the self-defense applications that are hidden in the form, for those that have that interest.
The teaching will also be tied into the Tai Chi classics, which is a collection of old texts that explain how to do Tai Chi "in a better way".
The main goal of this class is to be able to learn the Tai Chi 1 form, at least at a beginner level, and have a solid practice that will serve you going forward.
You don't need to have any Tai Chi background to join this program.
Depending on enrollment in this program, follow-up courses in REFINE Tai Chi 1 (refinement of the form, intermediate & higher-level skills) and Tai Chi 2-3 are being planned.
Each week will continue ongoing work with the Tai Chi 1 form, as well as weekly recording access to help guide you in your practice outside of the class.
You will have access to these recordings (until Feb 28, 2023) to enable you to continue practicing outside of class.
For those that know me from teaching Tai Chi 1 LIVE, you'll know that I don't usually do this . . .
For instance, if you take the Live class in Tai Chi, you typically get "what you get", and there is no recording. It is a $500 class with no recording done in a 5-day intensive. This class is in an hourly format done regularly over six weeks from the convenience of your home for only $195.
IF you have any interest in Tai Chi, now is the time.
For those students that have been with me for a while, you will know that it takes a while before I rotate back to certain offerings, because of the diversity of topics with Spiritual Tao Workshops.
For example, I have not offered a class in Tai Chi since August 2019.
So if you are interested in Tai Chi, I would consider taking this now, and not "take it next time". It is not known if--and when--that might happen.
ONGOING SCHEDULE (LATE FALL 2022)
Intro Tai Chi Qigong 1 program is $195/person.
For all other workshops, tuition is also only $195/person for the two-weekend courses (reviewers $125, contact me). Restricted classes require prerequisites and enroll through email to me.
Online courses done through Zoom webinar link
INTRO TAI CHI QIGONG 1 ONLINE: MWF for 6 weeks, program starts Nov 28 (OPEN enrollment)
ST201: Healing Love 1 ONLINE: Sat-Sun Dec 10-11 + Sat-Sun Dec 17-18 (restricted enrollment)
NOTE: For those curious, I won't restart the Basics line until end of March 2023.
So, except for the INTRO TAI CHI QIGONG 1 program, courses until then are not for beginners.
These ONLINE courses are a wonderful way to dive deeply into qigong, from the comfort of your own home while many either can not or do not wish to travel. For those who could not attend live classes in the past, now is your chance!
I warmly invite you to join me in these ONLINE workshops where we get to explore some life-changing methods that restore vibrancy and joy to a person's life. The qigong and meditative methods create a warm happy feeling in the body and spirit.
If anybody has any questions, feel free to contact me directly at my email below. I'd love to hear from you.
Warm wishes and smiling qi, Steven Sy steven@spiritualtao.com
