Chair Chi: Aged Care

By Chris Leave a Comment

So far I have delivered two Chair Chi workshops in the aged care sector. One for a nursing home and one for a retirement village. Next week I have two more sessions booked so my workshops are starting to take off.

And what a pleasure it is in working with elderly people.

It was fun and inspiring not only to share the Chi exercises but also the wonderful conversations and stories during the session.

Qingdao Tai Chi

By Chris 2 Comments

It’s taken me over 25 years but I finally achieved my goal of practising Tai Chi in China.

Sue and I just came back from a business trip to Qingdao where we ran a three day workshop on Appreciative Inquiry for an international school. Part of the workshop included my Tai Chi energisers and I was pleased with the reaction as everybody seemed to listen closely, practice the skills and haved a good time.

It was a short stay, 5 days, and I was super busy day and night but managed to practice my stance work in the hotel room while there.

Ma Yueh Liang – Quote

By Chris Leave a Comment

There is no mystique to Tai Chi Chuan. What is difficult is the perseverance. It took me ten years to discover my chi, but thirty years to learn how to use it. Once you see the benefit, you won’t want to stop.

16 Minute Tai Chi Man

By Chris Leave a Comment

It’s taken sixteen weeks but I’ve gradually built up my standing ’embrace the tree posture’ to sixteen minutes.

And I haven’t had any major problems with my knees reacting against the stance. Apart from some minor soreness, the knees feel fine.

In the past I’ve tried to work through pain and practice  lower stances which actually stressed my knees and caused pain. A silly attitude because it wasn’t in line with the Yin Yang philosophy of finding one’s balance. It took me a while to wake up to my self and focus on only doing exercises I could physically handle.
