Intensive Description: This Intensive will review and refine the Tai Chi Fundamentals® Adapted (TCFA) Seated Program, along with covering seated mindfulness and sensing qi practices. These practices are ideal for instructors working in clinical and rehabilitation settings, as well as for community teachers whose students benefit from seated breaks or teachers who hold entirely seated classes, such as in memory care units. Even students and classes who usually practice while standing benefit from learning how to apply tai chi principles and body awareness while seated.

Contact hours from this Intensive apply for keeping certification current in both the TCF Adapted Program and the Original TCF Program. Great training for class instructors, for health professionals applying TCF therapeutically in their practice, and for enriching your personal tai chi practice.

Focus: Review and refine Seated Adapted TCF Basic Moves and Form. Includes teaching skills development, movement analysis, functional applications, and Mind/Body Skills training in breathing, relaxation, sensing qi (vital energy), and visualization. Also includes coaching in constructive feedback and helping students improve their postural alignment. Licensed health professionals can document all program elements for reimbursement. Basic Moves and sensing qi exercises are included in the Tai Chi Fundamentals^® Patient Handout Software database available at Visual Health Information: http://www.vhikits.com/products/collections/TaiChi/TaiChi.aspx
