Move like the animals on three peaks mountain

This 6-10 week program gradually builds the children's ability to learn and practice tai chi movements. In addition to the tai chi movements, the program works on gradually cultivating self regulation and listening skills over the 6-10 week period.  Children will build up breathing and meditation skills in small increments over the course of the program.  Leda uses the story of Chang ( the legendary founder of tai chi) and his studies of the animals on Three Peaks Mountain as the foundation of this program.

 Each half hour class in this 8-10 week program will include:

• The Song "Let the Rain Fall Down" with Qi Gong Movements
• Exercises for strength and flexibility
• One new tai chi  animal movement per week
• Breathing exercises
• Meditation with Tibetan Chime

Through  visual presentations, songs, storytelling,

tai chi exercises, breathing technique and meditation children will learn how to incorporate the health balancing properties of the colors
