Tai Chi Relaxation: Scan and Breathe
Here’s a way of relaxing the body when you are practicing standing postures such as Embrace the Tree.

- As you exhale, feel the muscle completely relax
Chair Chi for Teachers
I had a very busy week last week delivering Chair Chi workshops for residents in aged care centres and teachers in schools – nine workshops in total!
The Chair Chi sessions for teachers started early this term; after sending out an expression of interest I’ve had four schools interested and booked. One school wanted a four week program which I’m half way through now.
