Teaching in Ojai, CA

Dear Ed,

Hannah Hedrick just prompted me to send you a note. I just started teaching a T’ai Chi Chih class in our backyard on September 8. Keith is assisting in the teaching process. Our only advertisement was through flyers and an introduction by my friend, a yoga teacher, in her class. We started with six people. The class has now grown to 10 people with more people interested every day. I had no idea that Ojai[,CA] would give T’ai Chi Chih such a warm welcome as you predicted.

I will be doing a T’ai Chi Chih demo on October 20 for Ojai Day; organized by a group of healers in town. I am sure this will help get the word out that a teacher has arrived. Soon, I plan on starting another class. It seems there is a demand for it.

It is wonderful to watch a class grow so quickly. In Chicago, I had to really work to put a class together. And, people would not continue to practice. My guess is that in Ojai I will have a larger group of people who continue to practice regularly.

I am blessed to be able to teach here and particularly at this time in the world. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Love,

– Elaine Unzicker
