extremely well done course

, I took the Tai Chi course without thinking of all of the ways to use it. Just really looking for something that would meet CEUs with some application for chronic pain and dystonia. This course was a wonderful surprise. As I mentioned I was traveling. Unfortunately, it was to assist my sister with new dialysis. I put the seated breathing into practice with her as well as some of the seated exercise. She loves it during those long 4 hours. Planning to use it with several of my children at work. LOVED THIS COURSE.
