Instructors:
This courses' three instructors enjoy teaching tai chi.
- Rachel O'Halloran is a Nutrition and Health Specialist of Gasconade County. "I use Tai Chi to reduce stress. My favorite way to practice is to perform Tai Chi while listening to guided meditation. I love the way the brush-knee form stretches my spine."
- Carrie Elsen is a Nutrition and Health Specialist of Shelby County. "Tai Chi helps me slow down and focus. My favorite form is commencement (first 6), parry and punch (advanced). I feel the stretch knee is my power move."
- Sue Robison, Nutrition and Health Specialist of Carroll County. "For me, Tai Chi has been beneficial in my recovery from shoulder ligament surgery. I finished a Tai Chi course 4 days before my surgery. The surgeon remarked how beneficial the courses must have been, since it appears I had a "great muscle foundation."
