Hi, it can be a long road sometimes before you wind up knowing where you’re supposed to be.  It’s been kind of that way with T’ai Chi Chih.  The adventure began some years ago when I decided that I wanted to learn ballroom dancing.  There was bit of a problem – coordination of the  body seemed to be short-changed.  I knew about Tai Chi so I decided to learn that and improve my coordination.  I signed up for a class at a local junior college. That worked until the 5th and 6th movements.  I was stuck.  I spoke to the instructor.  She invited me to her home for some private lessons along with some of her other students.  No real progress.  Some months later I saw a notice about T’ai Chi Chih in a local church bulletin that looked interesting.  I went; I had nothing to lose.  BINGO!  I left the first session knowing I could learn T’ai Chi Chih and I could teach T’ai Chi Chih.  Wherever there’s been an opportunity, I have taught it; used it; shared it.  Railroad platforms, airport terminals, my Iranian housemate, seated TCC,  a tourist from England, my Bosnian neighbor, my kids, adults at an Appalachian summer home in WV, personal use in two MRIs ,  teachers at a North Syracuse elementary school,  BOCES evening class in Lafayette, NY, adults & their children at Onondaga Nation school, Total Wellness Center Camillus NY, Marcellus, NY park & a gym….Are you inquisitive?  Ready to learn?  You can contact any one of us in Syracuse, NY
