Tai Chi for health & wellbeing
Well, I’ve done it again.
I’ve put another staff member to sleep who was watching a Chair Chi session I ran for an aged care center today.
As I was working with a group of elderly residents I noticed the staff member sitting nearby start to drift off to sleep. He was watching the gentle hypnotic Chi movements we were practicing and kept nodding off.
Come along and join a friendly group for a free Push Hands session in the park.

I always enjoy the Push Hands meet ups and I hope to be there this week.
Here’s a very clever and funny clip of Darth Vader practicing a Tai Chi sword form. After watching this I think I’ll come over to the dark side 😉

I’m having fun, as usual, running our Pozitive Kidz are happy kidz six week program. The focus is on building self esteem from a Tai Chi perspective.
The kids love the speedy Tai Chi drill. This is where I stand out in front of about 30-40 students and yell out various posture names and then they have to quickly jump into position.
For example I’ll yell out names such as;
The energy is the basis of life. Everything in the universe changes and develops thanks to qi.
