The purpose of the 25-minute Tai Chi virtual workshop is to allow participants to engage in a variety of Tai Chi exercises. This includes the standing egg concentration activity, body alignment standing exercises, cloud hands moving meditation, and one leg balancing Tai Chi motions. This session will help the participants develop a sense of engagement and inclusivity in their future teaching practice.

  • the principle of Tai Chi movement
