 Curriculum
Master Susan A. Matthews, MS, neuroscientist, teacher, and publisher, has joined acclaimed Master Derek Croley, Martial Arts Hall of Fame Member and holder of numerous Black Belts - with others at White Oak Institute to develop this superior curriculum for teaching “highcontent” Tai Chi. The specially designed curriculum has multiple applications, while the stimulus comes from a desire to respond to the great need to provide authentic Tai Chi and Qigong to teachers interested in improving their own knowledge and teaching skills, and in more effectively helping their students improve overall health and well-being.
We offer individual classes, corporate training programs, seminars, and a teacher training course to individuals and organizations wishing to incorporate a high-quality fitness program. Our programs and training provide medical professionals with the assurance that patients are referred to highly-qualified certified instructors. Contact us immediately to develop a program for your organization or if you wish to enhance your current programs with “high-content” Tai Chi. Check our Workshop Schedule for trainings in your area.
