🌿 TCHI Instructors Forum – February

"Turning Tai Chi Steps into Exercise (Part 2)"

Join Dr Paul Lam and MTs Darci Alexander and Rosalie Rudduck for a practical and enjoyable follow-up session on how to use tai chi steps, specifically from Tai Chi for Arthritis, as effective exercise. These simple movements can help anyone build leg strength, improve balance, and develop a deeper mind–body connection.

This session explores the same core ideas as the previous forum, but with different movements and fresh examples. It is a great fit for those who enjoyed the first instalment and want new material, and it is equally suitable for anyone attending for the first time.

Using simple exercises based on the familiar movements of Brush Knee and Repulse Monkey, you will discover how to feel the depth and power of these movements in a fresh, accessible way — for your teaching or personal practice.

Two sessions to suit your time zone:

⏰ Time Zone 1 — Sat Feb 7, 6:00 PM EST / Sun Feb 8, 10:00 AM AEDT
Best for: USA, Australia/NZ, Asia-Pacific

⏰ Time Zone 2 — Sun Feb 8, 7:00 PM AEDT

I am deeply saddened by Jef Morris' passing two days ago. We often told people that we are brothers, we shared many things and a brotherly love. Jef, being a Buddhist, believed when we pass, we go through a transition from one life to another. He sometimes expressed the process is something like when we die, our atoms and energy disperse at the universe. Then somehow, they regather to form another being. In Buddhism, every life is a being, so that we can be an ant or a person pending on what we did in this life.

He deeply believed in love and compassion for others, especially in saving a person's life or suffering. Not just in that adding up your good points for the next transition. In Buddhism if you gather more good points you transit to a higher being for the next life. Jef was, deep within himself, a caring and loving person. He was always caring, attentive to others' emotional needs, and had an amazing ability to sense who might need help. I believe Jef has done so many good things that his next transition would be incredibly high. I do hope to reconnect with him then; hope we would be brothers in our next lives.

Please enjoy his photos with us, remember him fondly, and send him positive energy for his transition. May I suggest you do a tai chi practice or teaching session with him in my thoughts. I shall.

A very special personal message from Dr Lam:

“In Tai Chi, we often speak about the beauty of flow, discipline, and internal harmony. These same principles are at the heart of my daughter Andrea Lam’s work as a pianist.

I am so proud to share that Andrea has been nominated for Limelight's 2025 Artist of the Year. It has been a monumental year for her, from starring in ABC’s The Piano to her recent ARIA Award win. If her music has ever brought you peace or inspiration, we invite you to support her with a vote.”

🗳️ Vote for Andrea here: https://www.limelight-arts.com.au/artists-of-the-year/
(Voting closes 4 January!)
