 AmyRawlinsGreetings!

ThaiChi New Class Session in January...
 
Thai Chi w/ Mickey Kaiserman 
 

Mickey will start teaching a Tai Chi Chuan - Yang Style class on Thursday nights at 7:00PM starting in January.

The class will be taught in a 10-week session providing a minimum of 5 students sign up. From there, the class may be repeated or may move on to allow Mickey to teach the next of three remaining parts of his Tai Chi Chuan series. Tai Chi Chuan is a progressive class and therefore will only be offered in sessions rather than on a drop-in basis. It requires more time to develop a practice and doesn't lend itself to occaisional study.

Tai Chi Chuan is a set of movements that is used for health, relaxation, meditation and self-defense. The regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan develops strength and flexibility of the joints, muscles and ligaments. It also enhances the cardiovascular system with a minimum of stress. Through the daily practice of Tai Chi Chuan, one learns to use the body more efficiently and can achieve greatest results with less effort. The practitioner has more energy to ward off illnesses and improve any sport through better body awareness.

Mickey Kaiserman has been teaching Tai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung for over 20 years. He is a student of Sifu Daniel Lee. He is teaching classes in Georgetown and Placerville and lives in El Dorado County.

To find out more information or to sign up, *please* contact Mickey.

The dates for the 10 week session are as follows:

Jan 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st

Feb 7th, 14th

Mar 13th, 20th 27th

Erin Davidson, certified NIA Instructor

"Life lived in a body the Nia way is life lived in relationship to the sacred geometry of life."

Erin Davidson was one of the many talented instructors who participated in the "Winter Solstice Artisan & Workshop Weekends" at Lotus D'Or. NIA is a fantastic and fun way to burn calories and gain strength & flexibility. I can't reccommend it enough...the music is amazing; the choreographies are fun; the stretching accomodates all levels of ability. Plus, Erin is a great teacher...full of energy and inspiration.  Taking a NIA class is a wonderful gift to yourself... Lotus D'Or would like to bring Erin back...please contact her for more information about upcoming workshops and/or classes....let's build "your NIA" class!
