Brain Workshop─Tai Chi for the Brain

June 27 , 2009- Cortez, Colorado
Brain Workshop™ Movement Training for Brain Health, Neural Rehabilitation, Mind-Body Balance: Advanced training for Taijiquan Practitioners, Movement Specialists and Therapists

Important Tai Chi mind and movement principles have been used for centuries by Chinese masters to enhance brain function, healing and conscious evolution. If you are interested in turning on this power in your brain, then this workshop will provide you with tools and inspiration for your professional and personal development. See full program details here. Focus will be to advance the practitioner in two important concepts:

1) 'Spiral Training' for whole-body connectivity and movement as 'one-unit.' This training increases physical strength, bone strength, joint elasticity, flexibility, and energy transmission through the zhong ding (central equilibrium line) and extremities. It is required for understanding long-lasting postural corrections and for relief of chronic pain.

2) The application of Spiral Anatomy™ revolutionary 'bicycle mechanics' and spiral training in all movement. This training increases speed, strength, and endurance for athletes, physical rehabilitation and brain repair. Mind-energy-movement harmony is required for balanced physical and mental functioning.

Twelve key exercises will be presented for home practice and for teaching your clients. Two-volume DVD set Brain Workshop™ Exercises for a New Brain is included with registration. See Program Details Here.

Times: Morning Session- 9:00am - Noon; Lunch Break; Afternoon Session 1:30 - 4:30pm

Tuition: $125.00 full-day of lecture and training, plus the 2-volume DVD set "Training Your Mind & Movement to Change your Brain." Registrants are expected to view this 60 minute video in preparation for the course. Under certain circumstances registration for half-day may be possible. Patient + Caregiver Package Price- $175.00.
