Over the past years Tai Chi has become like a dear old friend. My friend challenges me when I am strong, gives me strength when I am weak, plays with me when I'm too serious, returns happiness when I am sad, picks me up when I am down, restores confidence when my self-esteem has been bruised, tests me when I am over confident, dances with me when I am happy and it feels like home when I am lost . Tai Chi has helped me learn lessons of humility, patience and compassion toward others and myself. It matters not if you only have 30 seconds or hours, Tai Chi can fit perfectly into any measure of time or space. I hope you will come and move with us, begin to feel your inner self, find your center of balance and dance with the energy of life. In cultivating my practice I have attended three of Dr. Paul Lam's week long workshops. I am certified in Tai Chi for Arthritis, Tai Chi for Back Pain and Tai Chi for Diabetes. I have completed the beginning and intermediate Yang 24 form and am still working on Sun Style Tai Chi 73 forms. I began with Tai Chi for Arthritis and return to it each week with a beginner's mind, still learning, still exploring the inner layers. Finding the right program is vital to your health and wellbeing which is what Dr. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Health programs offer you. Finding the right teacher is very important and that right teacher for me has been Jef Morris. He has given me the greatest gift anyone can give a person, enlightenment.
