Update and Promote Yourself on Taichichih.org

Let’s Be Ready
Justin used to affirm a breakout moment for T’ai Chi Chih. Let’s be ready – when a big publication writes about TCC or a significant medical study includes TCC or when your teaching venues open up again.

* I’ll wait to pitch TCC to a national reporter after a significant number of our pages are “claimed.” Otherwise, we won’t look particularly vibrant.

Teachers: Find Yourself on Taichichih.org
The teacher database has long been burdensome for this volunteer organization to maintain. Going forward, we ask that teachers take responsibility for their own details.

Update Your Contact Information
It takes about 10 minutes to create a user account and then update your phone, email or town where you teach. For instructions, see taichichih.org/teacher-listings or email Kim.

Promote Yourself (& Encourage Other Teachers)
Teaching on Zoom? Teaching a ‘real life’ class soon? Not teaching at all? Why bother?? Because first impressions matter, and this website is the primary vehicle to show the world who we are, what we do, and how to share TCC with the world.

Please take a few minutes to upload a photo of yourself and write 100 words about yourself. Don’t be shy. Perhaps say what motivates you as a teacher, why you started practicing, what special populations you might teach, your favorite movement, and why… that kind of thing. It’s basically a mini presentation. This is the place to market yourself and tell your part of the world (in essence) why it needs you to teach TCC to them.

Include the type of class (on-going, drop-in, weekend, series of eight, etc), time/day/duration of the class, its cost, level of student for whom it’s appropriate, etc. Basically, put up a virtual class flyer.

Students: Find a Teacher on Taichichih.org
We know it’s essential for students seeking teachers to have up-to-date information. Know your teacher’s name? Start typing it in the FIND A TEACHER box. Or start typing a town or state in the NEAR ME box. *In both cases, let the boxes auto-fill and then choose. Click the ‘GEAR’ icon and search by distance.
