Online/OnDemand Training
TaijiFit Online Instructor Training
TaijiFit offers a complete web-based training program for certification as a TaijiFit Flow instructor. This is a very robust course - with just as much information, education and interaction as one of our live in-person courses. In fact, both the online course and the in-person courses will use the same training modules and online video libraries and exercises.
The TaijiFit Basic Instructor training will teach you how to lead others into a Tai Chi experience easily, effortlessly and enjoyably. Your students don't have to memorize any complex movements, principles or routines - and are never corrected or criticized.
You will learn how to lead a class based on a concept we call "FLOW," using our special cueing and assessment method. In the full training you'll learn all the essential techniques and philosophy of the method, along with a beginning repertoire of 18 movements, and two beginners' routines.
