Help Support Erica in her Tai Chi Journey

I am excited to announce that I have officially been invited to participate in the Master Trainer workshop at the Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) annual workshop in Sydney Australia, this coming January. During this training, I will have the opportunity to complete training to become a Master Trainer, which will allow me to train and certify new Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention instructors using TCHI’s high standards.

As many of my friends and family know, I have been a TCHI instructor for many years. Since beginning my Tai Chi journey in 2003, I have followed Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention (TCA&FP), an evidence-based program that helps people;

*improve balance/reduce risk of falls

*improve joint pain by gently strengthening muscles to help protect joints and improving joint mobility/flexibility

*reduce stress and anxiety

*improve lung and heart capacity (helping increase immunity) with qigong breathing exercises

*improve overall health and sense of well-being

Through this work, I have been honored to meet so many incredible people as an instructor and through the many workshops I have organized over the years as a Senior Trainer.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity which will expand my ability to share the amazing benefits of Tai Chi with even more people! I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than helping others improve their overall health and sense of well-being and training others to be able to do the same through teaching safely and effectively.

Being invited to study to become a TCHI Master Trainer is an incredible honor, and I look forward to continue learning and growing as a Tai Chi instructor.

As this training only takes place every other year in Sydney, I am fundraising to help offset some of the expenses. Traveling from the US to Australia is quite expensive, and as a Tai Chi instructor, I do not have paid time off. If you are able, I would deeply appreciate it if you would be willing to support me on my journey by donating to my GoFundMe fundraiser.
