EZ Tai Chi Holiday Party at Hart Yoga 2013

12/18/2013

1 Comment

 
Snowstorm last night made it difficult for everyone to come to class for the party today.  ON the other hand, Steve was unable to come because he had the lovely problem of having to fill many, many,  many product orders for the holiday!  I had to direct most of the class /party from a soft padded folding chair because my right ankle, again, suddenly is sending me the screaming pain message.  Ice and essential oils made it possible for me to come to class but I'll be seeing the p.t. on Friday.  :--(

Chef Marty was my I.T. person extraordinaire.  He brought his imac so that the participants could enjoy learning the Standing Crane animal frolics with Master Paul Gallagher.  We had just reviewed the principles of Tai Chi so it was fantastic to hear Paul G. demonstrating them as he taught the Crane frolics. 

After a round of TCA and Part 2, we played "Tai Chi Create a Move".  The only rule is that it must follow Tai Chi principles.  We collaborated to create a sequence of two sweet moves:  Sparrow Walking flowing into Fleeing Sparrow.  Darn!  We didn't get a video of that, but I can assure you it was very wonderful. 

Chef Marty cut and served the scrumptious yin yang carrot cake he made while we watched the video of Dr. Lam demonstrating the 73 Sun Style form, from in front and from behind.  We have begun this form , up to the 3rd piece, but we've all realized that less is more right now....we are staying with TCA and Part 2 and working on going a bit deeper and smoother with those for awhile.

I handed out their holiday Tai Chi party favors and then their Big Deal Tai Chi Certificates in Recognition of their special achievement of having learned all of TCA and Part 2.  

A good time was had by all!

I am excited to announce that I will be offering an evening section of E-Z Tai Chi for Health at The Body Shoppe in Greenfield, Ma!   The new class will be 5:30 - 6:45 pm on Monday evenings beginning May 7th.   

Class fees are $5 per class for Body Shoppe members and $10 per class for non-members.  Non-members can also purchase a 4 week class pak for $30...that's only $7.50 a class!!!  

E-Z Tai Chi is the simple, 12 movement form developed by Dr. Paul Lam.  It is easy to learn, easy to do and you will get the maximum health benefits in a minimum amount of movement.  Excellent for those new to exercise, those who have inflammatory and chronic conditions, those who want to see what Tai Chi is all about , those who are looking to increase balance and muscle mass and those who just want a gentle way to relieve stress.
