TAI CHI FOR KIDS (www.taichiforhealthinstitute.org/tai_chi_for_kids/) Children love to learn and they learn fast, especially when engaged in an activity which they enjoy. This expert designed program emphasizes the fun and fantasy elements of Tai Chi practice, thus developing both growing mind and body. It is also built out of small blocks of learning and activity in order to capture and keep kids attention. Also incorporating imagery, particularly animal imagery, and games to add to the appeal. Available for children in the 5 -10 and 10 -15 age groups.
