Tai Chi for health & wellbeing
It’s been a very busy start to the year and this is my first chance to write a post. From here on in I’ll start writing on a regular basis.
So what’s been happening?
Well, I’m booked out for the year for Chair Chi workshops for aged care centres which is great as I really enjoy working with the elderly.
Well, it’s been a very busy year and this blog post is larger than usual, as I wrap up the year to fill you in on what’s been happening in my personal training and professional job as a Tai Chi teacher.
Personal Chi
This year I’ve managed to keep consistently to my training schedule of 90 minutes (3×30 minute sessions) during weekdays and 60 minutes on Saturdays.
The 30 minute sessions throughout the day have kept my knees happy, as they no longer play up as they did when I was practicing much longer sessions in the past.
I deliver a lot of Chair Chi sessions for both low care and high care residents in various aged care centres and nursing homes – sometimes as many as 9 sessions in a week.
And I do get tired at times running around to different locations and producing the energy required to make a session enjoyable and productive.
I had another two good Chair Chi sessions for residents at aged care centres yesterday.
In the first session one resident commented on her back pain and during the session we did a Chi exercise that helped reduce the pain. And in the second session another resident complained of shoulder pain and we did the same Chi exercise which also helped reduce the pain.
A new and innovative workshop for carers, aged care professionals or volunteers.
This Level One workshop teaches how to deliver a basic Chair Chi session for residents and enhance their physical, psychological, social and emotional wellbeing.
We have a maximum of 14 places available for this workshop so register now to ensure your place.
When: 25th November
Where: Abbotsford Convent
Time: 9.00am-4.30pm
