Back by popular demand... Taiji for Healing with George Leung!
George Leung teaches various martial arts. He is again volunteering to bring his knowledge and skill of teaching Taiji for Healing to Thetford Rec.
Taiji for Healing:
Taijiquan (T’ai-chi) is an outstanding exercise for rehabilitating a broad range of chronic ailments, but the key to its effectiveness lies in the mind, not the movements! In this class, we will study only a handful of easy-to-learn postures drawn from traditional Taijiquan as a starting point for exploring how mindfulness can profoundly transform the body and tap into our incredible fascial network, the source of Taiji’s fabled martial skill and revered healing effects. The goal of this class is to empower students with a simple, clear, and effective practice to improve pain and mobility issues, quiet the busy mind, and reacquaint ourselves with our bodies as truly sublime spaces for us to inhabit.
This class is specifically for adults (18+ year-olds).

FAQ:
Q:"Can I miss a class?"
A: George (the instructor) said that each class builds on things that were taught in previous classes. If you are comfortable with that, it is ok to miss a class if it doesn't work with your schedule. If you miss a class, please do not request for the missed lessons to be repeated as others will be ready to move on with new information.
Q: "Can I join the class if it is full?"
A: We have found that 20 people plus an instructor is a lot of people for the space. We will not be allowing more than 20 sign-ups for this class.
Please note: As with all Thetford Rec Programs, need based financial assistance is available to all residents of Thetford.
