What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is a martial art that utilizes gentle, flowing movements to enhance health in the body and mind. In this course, you will focus on the Yang Style 24 form of Tai Chi. The 24 Yang Style form is based on the Yang long form and is much more complex than you may think. It is a vertical learning event where you learn 24 moves. Learning the moves is the first level of learning then you will begin to learn to incorporate different principles such as columns, rotation, being rooted and grounded, relaxation, energy, and others to flow to those 24 moves. You will also understand the martial arts application of these moves and how to breathe with each one.

How You Can Use It:

Tai Chi is associated with many mental health benefits. Among them are aiding in stress management, reducing feelings of anxiety and depression, and even improving sleep quality. This form of martial arts can also contribute to greater physical health by enhancing cardiovascular and pulmonary function, according to research.

These benefits enable you to help clients with numerous mental and physical health issues, promoting its effects. And Tai Chi provides all of these advantages without being too demanding on the body, making it a good physical activity for your clients who want to feel their best but may struggle with more intense forms of exercise.

After earning your Tai Chi Basic Certification, you may decide to offer beginner-level courses, teaching new practitioners proper form and how to move through simple progressions. Or you might want to work with more advanced practitioners, still providing a gentle exercise program but with a bit more of a challenge.

Either way, being a certified Tai Chi instructor provides the credibility that many clients need to feel comfortable with you as their trainer. It tells them that you understand what Tai Chi is and how it is to be performed. It also says that you’ve met the minimum education and skills required to earn this advanced designation.

Getting your Tai Chi Basic Certification can help you grow your fitness business while also helping clients improve their minds and bodies, providing a whole-body transformational experience.
