NEXT, you'll take these three courses

These courses last 8 weeks. You will have one live hour-long class most weeks, a mentor that you meet with in a group, and access to learning materials in your TaijiFit Library. We offer these courses three times a year, with each one starting shortly after the preceding course. You will attend each one in order.

In this course you will learn more about Flow, a basic repertoire of Tai Chi and Qigong movements, the TaijiFit cueing method, safety protocols, use of music, observation and assessment skills, and much more.

In this course we take your TaijiFit Cueing skills to the next level, learn how to better manage the 'stress phenomena', learn about Near Flow and the difference between that and True Flow, and many other methods to remove Flow Blockers.

In this course we train you to respond to your own life challenges in a much different way than you are used to responding. We discuss the Ego, Resistance to Change, Judgmentalism, the Loss of Meaning. We also focusing on deepen your capacity for empathy.

maintaining your certification

TaijiFit is required to have ongoing yearly training for our certified Instructors. If an Instructor chooses to be part of the VA CCN, they are also required to renew their certification annually. 
More continuing education courses will be offered in the coming months.

Bamboo Fusion is a part of the TaijiFit Fusion Series curriculum that consists of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Meditation.

In this course, you'll be introduced to a basic repertoire of yoga asanas, and then to the seven combinations that make up your first Bamboo Fusion routine. You'll also learn about the Principle of Surrender, and how it is used to deepen the Flow Experience.

Iron Fusion is a part of the TaijiFit Fusion Series curriculum and is the blending of Tai Chi and resistance training

This course is an exercise in mindfulness—expanding your awareness, and deepening your sensitivity to yin and yang. This will help to experience a deeper level of flow, first with the body, then with mind, and finally with the energy of life—the Qi.

what is the FLOW state?

Athletes refer to it as 'getting in the zone'. It's the runner's high, the effortless writing, the best conversation you've had in your life, the way things just seem to magically come together. 

In Japanese Buddhism, it's called Satori.  

It's a space where there is an absence of critical thinking, internal evaluation, or focus.

Flow is the word to describe that wonderful moment when all parts of you—mind, body, emotions, energy, and Spirit—come together and move you internally and externally in an effortless and joyful manner.

Flow is the most characteristic and unique feature of Tai Chi, and it's a central concept in the TaijiFit Method.
