Program Currently Offered: 25-hour Tai Chi and Functional Movement Course I (Sept. 2010)

Jim Eubanks, DC, MS, CSCS is offering an 8-week, 25-hour Tai Chi and Functional Movement Course I. This course is intended for persons with an interest in learning Tai Chi from an overtly biomechanical, and health and wellness perspective, specifically as the discipline relates to proper movement, enhancement of daily function, and the initiation of the "relaxation response" for stress management. 

Specific applications of Tai Chi are also presented and demonstrated for the purpose of learning efficiency of movement. Persons seeking to apply the information from this course for personal practice, in an office or clinical setting, or to supplement a commercial approach (such as participating in ongoing Tai Chi classes at other facilities) will gain sound skills and resources to serve these purposes, and advance their study by gaining insights contributed by contemporary research in human movement. Information about Tai Chi, its general purpose and specific benefits are presented alongside clinical research. 

Course Curriculum Overview: Bodymind unification principles and techniques as they relate to human performance, functional movement, and stress management for health and wellness. Upon completion of the course, alumni will receive a certification document and certification number for future reference through BSI, and will receive PDFs of relevant Tai Chi research, a CD with several video demonstrations of drills, techniques and forms covered over the 8-week course, and a growing network of resources including additional training.

Date, Location, and Registration Costs: The next class will begin in September, 2010. The following course costs include all of the above items outlined in the "Course Curriculum Overview," including the 8-week training sessions. Registration between July 1 and July 31: $150; Registration between August 1 and August 15: $180; Registration after August 15: $210.
