Hi Annette
Just thought I would e mail you and tell you how I'm getting on
Well after hours of practice to slow down i finally did it. Now I have got
a class going and I cannot believe the response.
First week I had 42 second week thought it would be quieter no wrong 50 So
now the club is trying to get a space on the timetable so that I can do one
at night the class at the moment is at 9.30am on a Friday. Once again thanks
it's so relaxing to teach and they all enjoy it.
Many thanks

Hi Annette,
Just like to say a huge thank-you for such a brilliant day on Saturday. You certainly inspired me to take this further and I am really looking forward to next year and my new challenge.
Thank-you also for being so patient - I realize I have a lot of practising to do in order to appear more confident, but as you said
I am determined to be positive and work on my development in order to make this goal a reality.
I am so glad I found Fox Fitness just when I needed you - it certainly was fate!
Best wishes,
Paula Keen, (Nov'05)

Hi Annette,
Yes I received the course materials on Saturday morning thank you. It all looks very interesting and very professional. I have read it all through once and find the whole text very inspiring. Now all I need is a quiet house to watch the videos and learn!!
I learnt about the course through the internet. I have wanted to teach yoga and Tai Chi for a few years but as I said on the phone the courses were always very long and rather intense and Ian's is the only one I have seen which incorporates the two which is exactly what I wanted. I have also found some yoga courses (if not all) to be very snobbish in their approach, for example thinking their course was the best and the ONLY one you should do and if you didn't it meant you weren't truly qualified which I think is daft.
Best wishes,

I had my reservations before the course as I know several particpants/instructors of Tai Chi & they have completed several months/years of training in order to become an instructor. I didn't feel I could learn enough in one day, however I feel I did learn a lot on the course & feel confident to instruct a class. The presenter was very knowledgable & clear in her delivery. Enjoyed the course!

Fitness Yoga
Thank you so much for such a fantastic course, which is broken down into such easy to understand and manageable chunks, I am loving it!
As far as I'm concerned the more people that do this course the better! I initially decided to sign up as I'd been practising yoga for six months, caught the bug straight away and thought it would be fantastic if I could teach my mum and her friends as they feel intimidated by joining a gym.
However, having progressed through the course I now feel so passionate about the benefits of yoga I have far bigger plans and hope to achieve many more clients/classes. I am also so grateful for the simple tips on how changing your general attitude to life can produce such huge rewards i.e. enjoying the present moment rather than concentrating on the future or worrying about the past. I chose this Fitness Yoga course to open up my options financially but I've gained so much more than that, from both a physical and mental perspective.
Katie Fusco, East Sussex - Sept'09

I need to put what I have learnt into practice. I didn't think I'd take to Qigong because found it difficult to relax but I did - it's great - thank you.
Rosie Drew - Apr '06
The simple techniques taught have such deep rooted benefits for me personally, which I will now carry with me and pass on to others so that they may receive these benefits too. I can see this program becoming a necessity in this modern world.
D.Cunningham, Warrington
A balanced and inspiring introduction to this healing art. The program provided me with plenty of material to work with and build upon, simple yet very effective program.
A.Orr, Ireland
I am motivated to take time to focus on balancing all forces of energy. The program was well structured as the exercises and affirmations were clearly and logically progressed. I now look forward to developing the knowledge gained and practicing Qigong For Health.

Tai Chi is practised worldwide and good for stress and toning. It is also something that a lot of us would like to do, but simply don't know where to start to find out how. This DVD is the solution.
