Want to keep your Tai Chi practice fresh, fun and FLOWING? Many find their initial experience of Tai Chi/Qigong practices truly transformative and inspiring. From your initial experience, you may have eagerly sought out classes - but then something happened - and you found yourself losing interest. You may have felt those new classes were just too confusing, caused you stress or conversely, you found them boring and lacking in any meaningful challenge. Often when Tai Chi is discussed it is in the context of how practicing can support extraordinary health and wellness benefits. The multitude of health benefits are a cause for celebration, but there is more!
The “more” could be how you find a way to access the FLOW state in your Tai Chi practice. When "in the flow," you are totally engaged in what is happening. You are deeply immersed in the present moment experience. Without seeking and much to your delight, you find yourself experiencing happiness and joy. This workshop is for everyone who, having started to practice Tai Chi or other mind-body practices, are asking themselves how they might continue to grow and deepen the experience of flow.
Join Institute of Integral Qigong & Tai Chi (IIQTC) Senior Trainer, David Lehman (pictured below), as you learn to develop and experience your own Tai Chi FLOW path. Course begins October 1st!
