Presentation Summaries

How to Move

Justin Stone commented as six teachers (Ed and Noel Altman, Sandy McAlister, Doug Harned, Pam Towne, and Connie Hyde) demonstrated T’ai Chi Chih moves. Key points: loose wrists, arms at chest height, elbows close to the body. Smoothness, softness, and continuity cause the energy to flow.

Stretch Break

Elissa Maguire, T’ai Chi Chih teacher and yoga instructor, presented posture and stretching for T’ai Chi Chih including stretches for: the hamstrings, calves, and achilles tendons, the front of the thighs, and the shoulders. Conf. questionnaire feedback requested a repeat of this presentation at the next conference.
