| Instructor Profile: | Julie's Tai Chi journey began in 2002 with an invitation from the Michigan Arthritis Foundation to train and pilot the program Tai Chi From The Arthritis Foundation. Julie was one of four people instrumental in working with the foundation to start the TCA program in Michigan. Master Trainer Dan Jones certified her in TCA I & II. Julie's background in exercise and teaching fitness classes began in 1996 for the Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program and in 2001 she became certified to teach the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program. In 2002 she became an instructor for their Self Help Course. Tai Chi was the gentle flow that Julie needed to expand her fitness career in mind, body and soul. This newfound love of Tai Chi inspired Julie to learn more. In 2003 she attended Dr. Lam's first US weeklong workshop to study the Yang 24 form with Master Trainer Pat Lawson. Julie was also certified by Dr. Lam in Tai Chi for Diabetes in 2003 and Tai Chi for Back Pain in 2004. In 2006 she attended the workshop Depth of Sun 73 with Master Trainer Dan Jones and has organized for him a Tai Chi for Diabetes workshop. Julie's Tai Chi learning continues as she studies with Dr. Lam, his master trainers and learns from her students. Julie has been employed at Summit On The Park, Canton's Recreation Center for Health & Wellness since 1996. She has 11 years of teaching experience in the exercise field with a focus on Arthritis Foundation classes and is a certified group exercise leader, aquatic instructor, personal trainer and tai chi instructor. Julie believes that variety is the key for sticking with a fitness program and there is an exercise for all abilities and interests. She enjoys teaching a wide range of fitness classes for aquatic, land and Tai Chi while working with special populations, seniors and children. Her most recent certification is for teaching Juvenile Rheumatoid Aquatic fitness classes for children 3-13 years old. Julie's other role at Summit On The Park is Program Coordinator. In this role she develops, plans and organizes community health events, such as National Senior Fitness Day and Walking Clubs. She speaks monthly to the Canton Newcomers Club on the benefits of exercise for all and the many health programs the community has to offer. It was with inspiration from attending Dr. Lam's workshops and learning his progressive teaching method that Julie was able to develop a healthy Tai Chi program for Summit on The Park that offers a variety of Tai Chi and Personal Tai Chi Training. Julie is currently working on a fitness program with a Physiotherapist that offers a unique combination of Tai Chi with aquatic training to assist in the rehabilitation process after an accident or illness. Whatever class Julie is teaching, she always tries to add just a little Chi to it. Julie's passion for teaching fitness and inspiring others has lead to her being the Arthritis Foundation Michigan Chapter Program Trainer for Aquatics and for the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program. Julie's Tai Chi journey and the quest for helping others find joy in fitness was fueled by her determination to take control of her own osteoarthritis condition. Yes, it was after two total hip replacements that all of these wonderful experiences came into Julie's life and set her on the path to wellness by discovering Tai Chi as one of the stepping stones for health. |
