Course Description

We invite you to join us for this multi-level instructor training. The training is great fun, providing in-depth fundamentals of history, philosophy, energy anatomy, teaching methodology, practice teaching and forms refinement. We focus on the first section of the Yang Style 24 forms and Silver Lotus Warm Up Exercises; but the training will prepare you to teach other forms as well.

The program awards a 200-hour Level I Silver Lotus certification to teach beginning Tai Chi/Qigong for Health. For already certified instructors, a Level II Silver Lotus certification is available to teach on-going programs in Tai Chi/Qigong for Health. The program also includes certification through the Tai Chi for Health Institute to teach Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention. 

Options to attend individual weekend modules for personal enrichment (without instructor certification) are also available (more details coming soon).
