Tai Chi

November 23, 2021

In the beginning, Nitya Gurukula Team (Counsellors, Trainers and Admin Staff) practiced Tai Chi for Energy by following Lam’s online videos, with interest and commitment. Lightness, joy, dignity, pain relief and energy surfaced and grew in participants. NG’s core principles of Non-violence and East-West Synthesis were operationalized in this Tai Chi program

NG CEO participated in Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention-TCHI & FP workshops at the Annual Tai Chi Conference 2019 in Wollongong, Australia. Certified as an Instructor for TCHI & FP (Levels 1 & 2), CEO brought back rich experiences of the theory, practice and techniques. These were eagerly picked up by NG Team along with the TCHI & FP safety norms and the Progressive Stepwise teaching methodology- and passed on in small packages to NG clients, trainees and members. It was exhilarating to have a scientific and systematic approach, so succinctly captured in the six principles by Dr. Lam.
