New Teacher News: Eager in Oregon

BALANCE – it starts within. Learn how to de-stress your life and create the kind of balance you want with T’ai Chi Chih.

Elizabeth Tyler of Lake Oswego, OR sent an interesting flyer which had the above statement beneath the TCC/Joy Thru Movement heading. The Tao symbol, her picture doing TCC and the benefits of practice complimented the inviting introduction.

Elizabeth writes: Since graduating from the June ’93 TCC Teacher Training in Alameda, CA, I have been blessed with many wonderful students eager to learn TCC. I will be starting my twelfth series of eight week classes in the Lake Oswego/Portland area. Most rewarding has been teaching TCC to teachers in two school districts in the morning before they go off to their classes, with a smile on their faces of course! Also rewarding was doing a TCC presentation to a group of fifty inmates at a drug and alcohol prevention program at a Portland prison. They were very receptive to TCC and asked that I come back. The staff thought TCC was especially helpful for inmates with abusive backgrounds to help them ground and get back into their bodies.

As I share this incredibly healing practice I am given the gift of love and joy and my life continues to transform daily with my own practice. I am grateful to Justin for his creation of TCC; to Steve for letting me go to the teacher training when I wanted; and to myself for following my heart and intuition to teach! I am also grateful for The Vital Force…I read it immediately from cover to cover and refer to it often–it nourishes and inspires me to be the best I can be. Thank you Liz, Lois and the many others who make it possible. Hello and much love to all my TCC friends.
