BTC Newsletter June 2018

SUMMER SESSION STARTS JUNE 18

Our Summer Session starts in 2 weeks, and we will be offering 20 different courses, ranging from A Taste Of Tai Chi to Advanced Long Form practice.

This summer, we are offering "half portions" to accommodate those who may be on vacation or out of town for part of the session.

This session we will be starting 2 new classes:

Heart Centered Qigong with Allen Bourque

A strong connection to the earth and the Lower Dantien are essential basic components of all Tai Chi and Qigong. Building on that foundation, this class will emphasize activating and enlivening the Heart Center, or "middle dantien". We will focus on the Heart Center in some familiar Qigongs, as well as introduce other practices specifically designed to work with the heart. The class will include also working with objects and walking procedures.

The 20 Minute Tai Chi Workout with Don Miller

In this 7-week course, you will learn a complete Tai Chi practice routine (The Tai Chi Workout) that includes Standing Meditation Qigong, Pulsing Qigong, Rooted Free Movement, Tai Chi Walking, and Eight Yang Tai Chi Forms. The routine takes only 20 minutes to complete and can be practiced at home or in nature. Done regularly, it develops rooting, calmness, fluidity, centering, balance, and well-being. First introduced to the public in 1998, the 20 Minute Tai Chi Workout has been learned and practiced by thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world. Suitable for beginners and others with all levels of experience.

Coming In August

Regular summer classes end at the beginning of August. The rest of the month will include a variety of workshops and, back by popular demand, our TAI CHI BOOTCAMPS led by Master Sergeant Don Miller. Stay tuned.

Volunteers !

Brookline Tai Chi exists thanks to the passion and involvement of the BTC community. Our nonprofit was created out of the BTC community's desire to see the school sustained, and deliver the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong to a broad audience.

BTC's volunteer team works with a variety of tools. Our electronic communications are through social media (Facebook), email (Constant Contact) and the web (Wordpress). Organizational outreach is more a matter of emails, phone calls, and conversations with physical therapists, wellness managers, and other relevant professionals. We'd love to have you on our team.

Also, BTC is seeking to build our development/fundraising and corporate partnering activities; if you can help, or simply advise on those, then we'd love to talk.

Please contact Executive Director Don Ethan Miller . Your efforts will help BTC thrive and deliver on our mission.

"Tai Chi is truly like a Swiss Army Knife of exercises. Part centering, part physics, part stretch, part strengthen, part balance, part focus, part relax, part martial concepts and principles (expand and contract, sink and rise, rotational force), part philosophy, part meditation, part healing. Each day pick a part and work it."
