Tai Chi Holiday 2008 held in Southern Turkey
Holiday
Course Summary
In
October 2008 I will host a Tai Chi Holiday in Southern
Turkey in association with a good friend of mine who owns the Myland
Holiday Resort.
The resort is located in a beautiful nature
reserve within 100m of the sea and should make an ideal base
for
learning Tai Chi as well as enjoying the natural environment there.
Please visit their website for more details. |
Myland is set in a
beautiful nature reserve by the Mediterranean Sea |
The goal of this Tai Chi Holiday is to teach the Simplified Yang Style
24 Sequence to Beginner's
or those who have only done a little Tai Chi before.
As
with all of my teaching I am
interested in the health and meditative
aspects of Tai Chi and not the martial aspects and I teach accordingly.
The
Class Size will be approximately 15 people
for the Tai Chi Course, which includes the Tai Chi Qi Gong and the Tai
Chi Form Classes.
The Tai Chi Qi Gong classes will be open for others
to join as class size is not so important for this class.
|
Pynar's
Yoga Hall - for times when outdoors is unsuitable.

I am offering the following options :
1) Week 1 only - Tai Chi Basic Course : 28 hours
- Total Cost
£140
2) Week 1 & Week 2 - Complete Tai Chi Course : 52 hours
- Total Cost £260
3) Tai Qi Gong only - £5 / Class
 If I am over subscribed
preference will be given to those attending for
the whole two week period.
Payment
details will be announced nearer the time - I will use Paypal
to process credit cards.
For
the time being I would simply appreciate if interested people would
contact me to discuss joining the course.

Note
: These costs are for the Tai Chi training course only.
Accommodation Details
I've worked out approximate
accommodation prices or bed and breakfast
based on taking advantage of the 5% long stay discount and 6% cash
payment discounts that the resort offer. We may be able to assist in
arranging people to share a room with at the time to keep costs down.
Two
people sharing :
One week (8 nights) :
~£179.00
/ person
Two weeks (15 nights) : ~£330.00 / person
The Single Occupancy prices are :
One week (8 nights) : ~£251
Two weeks (15 nights) : ~£464.55
|
Accommodation
is in private bungalows
|
Please
check with Myland Resort for more details on
Accommodation and Food
expenses and for advice on flights and transfers etc.
I would expect flights to Antalya to be available for about
£150-£200,
but sometimes you can get large discounts if you're flexible on date
and time.

Course Details
The
classes will be taught either on the beach -
early morning, in the Myland Activity Hall or outdoors in the Lemon
Orchard.
Please read through my Teaching
Methodolgy to
get a better idea of what to expect.
The Tai Chi Qi Gong classes are part of what I consider Foundation Tai
Chi minus some of the basic movements I usually teach in these classes.
The Tai Chi Classes are what I call Tai Chi Form Classes where I teach
the Yang 24 Form itself.
