The Confucius Institute in Edmonton was invited to provide the introductory session for Tai Chi at Edmonton Public School’s Centre for Education during the noon hour on March 23, 2016. Fifteen Education Centre staff participated in this one-hour session.
Mr. Kong from the CIE gave a short presentation on the basic history and philosophy of Tai Chi and Ms. Du performed a Tai Chi demonstration of the simplified 24 form movements.
All the participants practiced these movements, acquiring an excellent introductory experience to this ancient and important element in Chinese culture. Participants also learned the health benefits of the movements and appreciated the experience and amazing feeling of Tai Chi.
