COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This workshop will teach you ways to integrate the mind with the body, ultimately increasing your clients’ balance, reaction time and coordination. Creative ways to use the Unpredictable Command Technique in an aquatic exercise program and aquatic walking program will be demonstrated. We’ll start with yoga for the feet and show you simple ways to improve balance with foot exercises. The foot exercises are especially beneficial for those with bunions or prior to or following a bunionectomy. The course will end by learning a new Qigong technique for inner balance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1) Implement the Unpredictable Command Technique into water aerobics and water walking.

2) Discover simple foot exercises to improve balance.

3) Explore Pan Gu Shengong, a relatively new form of Qigong, which has been in the United States for only the past ten years. Take this practice to the water.
