My Experience as a T'ai Chi Chih Instructor
T'ai Chi Chih has been part of my daily spiritual practice since 1997, and I have been an accredited instructor since 1999. Since then, I have taught classes to individuals as well as to groups of as many as 35 students. I have experience teaching all kinds of population, from middle-schoolers to healthy adults, to people with disabilities and seniors with limited mobility. I am especially interested in teaching those who are active in their health and well-being, and who are looking for new tools to pursue it. Besides teaching in Kansas City, I have taught workshops and led practices in my home province of Quebec and as far away as Italy.
I am also an active member of the T'ai Chi Chih community. I attend two to three TCC events accross the country every year so that I can continually grow as a teacher and continue my education. I am always developing and sharing new techniques to make the learning process for my students as clear and as beneficial as possible.
