Not everyone who practices Tai Chi is meant to teach it.
And not everyone who feels the call should rush into it.

This instructor training is for people who want to:
• Deepen their own practice
• Learn how to teach responsibly
• Grow into leadership at a steady pace
• Share Tai Chi without losing its integrity

The next Tai Chi Instructor Program begins in February.
Registration is open through January 31.

No hype. No pressure.
Just an invitation to explore what’s next.

Here's a thought...

👉Thought......when Qi circulation becomes asymmetrical on opposite sides of the body, it effects the body's ability to produce a healing and homeostatic resonance/response.

🤔New Thought......if the human body suffers from a one-sided disorder, does this lead to secondary or internal disorders downstream (while attempting to generate proper balance across each side)? (Effects similar to the results of this video...)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In Tai Chi, we don’t force movement.

We settle, listen, and respond when the timing is right.

Today is the final day for early registration for the Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Programs, including the 50/50 early registration discount.

If this training has been sitting quietly with you, this is simply an invitation to pause and listen.

When the body says “yes,” action feels calm, not rushed.

If you’re not there yet, that’s okay.

Standard registration remains open through January 31.

Move when it’s clear.

If you’re still sitting with the idea of instructor training, this is simply a moment to check in with yourself.

Not every hesitation is a “no.”
Sometimes it’s just waiting for clarity.

Early registration for the Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Programs ends tomorrow (January 15).

If you already know this training is aligned for you, early registration supports planning, preparation, and a smoother start.

If you’re still unsure, you have time—enrollment remains open through January 31.

No pressure.
Just an invitation to choose consciously.

Thank you to everyone who joined last night’s Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Training interest meeting.🙏

I appreciate the thoughtful questions, honesty, and curiosity you brought into the space. These conversations are exactly why I host meetings like this. So you can make an informed decision, not a rushed one.

If you’re still reflecting, that’s completely appropriate. This training is meant to be entered with clarity, not urgency.

I’ll be sharing next steps and reminders over the coming days for those who want to continue exploring.

Thank you!!

If you’ve ever thought about teaching Tai Chi or Qigong—but weren’t sure what that actually involves—I’m hosting a relaxed interest meeting tonight.

This is not a sales call.
No pressure. No commitment.

It’s simply a chance to:
• Learn what instructor training really looks like
• Understand who this program is (and isn’t) for
• Ask honest questions
• See if the February 2026 training feels aligned for you

This is especially for women and practitioners who already practice and feel that quiet pull toward teaching, but don’t feel “ready” yet.
Curiosity is enough.

🗓 Tonight: Jan 12 @ 630PM
📍 Online: Google Meet
👉 Details in the comments / link below

You’re welcome to join us.

You’ve practiced.
You’ve studied.
You’ve felt the pull to share this work.

This instructor training is for women ready to step into teaching with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

⚠️SCAM ALERT⚠️ --> Do NOT purchase anything related to this predatory program/company --> "MadMuscles" (This ad was on YouTube)

First of all, look closely at the "Tai Chi" exercise plan below. NONE of the exercises are related to Tai Chi at all. Second, there seem to have been a growing number of reports about people agreeing to a purchase, being charged a higher amount, and finding out after the fact that it was not even close to what they expected. Additionally, people have reported having VERY difficult times blocking the charges since the services have been "delivered". These same people have resorted to fraud reporting within their financial institutions to try and resolve the issue.

Bottom line. Only purchase Tai Chi/Qigong products from reputable sources who have training and solid backgrounds. You can trust and our solid group of VIP instructors scattered across the ! (Directory coming soon on our site!)

More and more people are falling prey to these ridiculous scams that are almost entirely made using AI. ☹️ Even their video advertisements on YouTube clearly have no connection to Tai Chi/Qigong whatsoever! Stay vigilant!

Really?! 😲 A pneumothorax in one of my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers players?? 🖤💛 This is completely uncalled for at ANY level, including pro athletes. Was it a PT or an AT doing the procedure?

This is yet another reason why dry needling is not recommended unless performed by a licensed acupuncturist, in which therefore you are receiving ! Dont let the fancy name of dry needling fool you. 👉It is still acupuncture.👈 Especially given the fact that the points they use/are taught are actual defined locations of acupuncture points.

Seriously, though, as a patient, even I would never seek surgery from someone with a weekend certification over someone with years of training and experience.

This is a no brainer and a ridiculous battle between profession that just needs to end.

Leave the acupuncture to .

What is dry needling? Here's what you need to know about the treatment.
