About Level 2 Integral Tai Chi Practice Leader Training


Heaven and Earth Dr Roger JahnkeTai Chi - Taiji -- Ancient principles for vitality, clarity and peace woven into one of the most eloquent forms of exercise and stress mastery – EVER!

As early as 2002, Time Magazine declared Tai Chi "The Perfect Exercise." More recently, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Mayo Clinic declared, "the most popular complementary health approaches, such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Acupuncture, appear to be effective non–pharmacological tools for managing common pain conditions."

1000s of Tai Chi Teachers are needed now — in schools and universities, corporations, health systems, social service agencies, YMCAs, fitness centers, the military, the VA, faith ministries – spas, even golf clubs.

Answer the Call and as a side benefit maximize your own well-being and brain plasticity!

Tai Chi is a walking form of Qigong that can be done as a martial art or for health enhancement. The "secret sauce" of the IIQTC is to make Tai Chi accessible and fun and as a Tai Chi Teacher you will be trained to make Tai Chi accessible and fun!

yin yang

The concept of Tai Chi, meaning "supreme ultimate", is actually the Chinese name for what we typically call the Yin-Yang symbol.

This incredible moving meditation, with its roots in both internal martial arts and inner alchemy, is a poetic, soothing choreography. Refined for centuries, Tai Chi reflects the mutuality of opposites in a dynamic state of balance and harmony — breath in/breathe out, raise up/sink down, focus in/focus out. When you practice Tai Chi, you are actually investigating universal forces within and around you and activating Yin and Yang to produce the "Elixir" of harmony within.

Key Health Benefits Include:

Traditional forms of Tai Chi can take years to learn and most people do not have the patience to learn that much. PLUS people who try meditation and get frustrated often love Tai Chi. The health benefits of Tai Chi are much more easily accessible with simplified or shortened forms. In order to make the health benefits of Tai Chi more readily accessible to every one, the IIQTC has created the Integral Tai Chi Teaching System – and its most widely revered entry point – Tai Chi Easy™.

View Certification Overview

 

The IIQTC approach to Tai Chi is focused on
balance and harmony of Spirit, Mind and Body

 

Integral Tai Chi™ is not simply a Tai Chi form; it is a Tai Chi teaching method that is assured to sustain student enthusiasm and accessibility. In the Integral Tai Chi™ framework we use a few gestures and focus on the essential Tai Chi principles to vitalize the Tai Chi and transfer the principles into daily life!

Integral Tai Chi Qigong is a simplified approach (can be medical or therapeutic) in which the complexity of the footwork is learned later, for ease of embodying the gestures. Tai Chi Easy™ is composed of a smaller subset of Integral Tai Chi, plus the Qigong practices from The Healer Within, which you learned in Level 1. We will learn to teach Tai Chi Chair™ and Tai Chi Mirror™, these carefully simplified approaches to Tai Chi are designed to create the maximum positive effect.

Upon conclusion of this training you are fully prepared to teach both Tai Chi Easy™ and Integral Tai Chi™. They are an easy and fun way to get large class enrollments; people like the sound of Tai Chi and they love easy.

The traditional principles of Tai Chi and Qigong are the heart of the Integral Tai Chi ™ program. Level 2 is primarily focused on Integral Tai Chi PLUS deepening review of all the material from Level 1.
