That
would be me! I've been involved in Tai Chi for over 40 years. I love
it and I love teaching it. Just like everyone else, I go through passages
of time where life intrudes and it seems like my Tai Chi is deteriorating.
Not true. It is always there and new levels of understanding await,
from the very first class to decades later.
Oh,
did I mention that it is great for health, aids relaxation, develops
focus and clarity, and - well, lots of other stuff? Did I also mention
that I take it pretty seriously, too, and teach in a quite old fashioned
way? - there are no class Tee Shirts, no uniforms, just respect and focus
on this amazing form!
LOCATION: 6th Dimension, Middletown studio (directions
will be provided when you register). A little
more info.
FEE: $50.00 per person. $90.00 per 2 family members.
CLASS SIZE: 6 - 10 people. Minimum must be reached to
run the workshop.
WHAT WE DO IN THE
WORKSHOP: We will do some really cool stuff like feeling and sensing
"Chi", then I'll put you through some "paces" that
might seem very unfamiliar. That is, we'll do a little sensing of our
own and others' weight placement... oh, yes, we'll also do some of that
lovely serene, floaty looking movement series called "The Form".
In
case you are curious, I teach the long form of Yang Chen Fu style Tai
Chi... but that takes about a year to learn and a lifetime to consolidate.
For
the workshop, I'll just pull some sweet little treats from the whole
discipline of Tai Chi for you.
REGISTRATION:
- Reserve
your place by phone or email.
- To
confirm your place in the workshop, prepayment must be received a
minimum of 1 week before the workshop date.
- Payment
method: Electronic payment upon your receipt of our emailed invoice, via our Square online payments account, OR by check to Ranna® Arts Incorporated LLC, PO Box 971,
Stephens City, VA 22655.
NEW FOLKS and NEW STUDENTS, PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
Clothing:
Wear comfortable, elastic waisted long pants and loose or supple top
that allow freedom of movement. Tee shirts and track pants are fine.
Tai Chi outfits are, too, if you happen have one, but unnecessary if
you don't. Typically, dark or black pants and light colored or white
tops are worn by trainees in class. Shorts, skirts, strapless tops,
singlets etc. are not appropriate for class, and jeans are too heavy
and restrictive. (More about Tai Chi clothing at https://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Proper-Clothing-Is-So-Important-In-Tai-Chi&id=283449).
Shoes: Light weight athletic shoes/ trackers or Tai
Chi shoes if you have them or can get them easily (e.g. online or from
China Town in D.C). Please ensure that your shoes have non-scuff soles
to keep the floor unmarked. How about sneakers? Most sneakers are too
heavy and grip the floor too much, restricting movement.
Food: Try to avoid eating for a minimum of 1.5 - 2
hours prior to class (except for medical reasons - e.g. diabetes or
low blood sugar). A small snack suitable to your own metabolism would
be fine but remember that it is extremely uncomfortable to do some of
the movements with a full stomach.
... NOW THE OTHER STUFF THAT ALWAYS MUST BE MENTIONED
(!):
