A group of counsellors, teachers and management staff involved in Transition Programs at the Faculty of Further Education whose job is to assist the youth and adults to move from language, literacy and numeracy education to employment or further studies took part in Professional Development at the Fairfield Campus of NMIT.

They decided to start the day with Tai Chi at the beautiful setting near Fairfield Park where our Tai Chi College has regular park lessons.

Being all women, they relaxed completely and allowed their energy to surge freely, enjoying gentle Chi Kung stretching and breathing exercises. Even though none of them had ever done Tai Chi before, their movements flowed gracefully and they gained an awareness of their own bodies in new postures, twists and turns that made them laugh, sigh or glow with amusement and delight.

Such a relaxing and energising beginning of the PD day gave them a sharp and focused start and a good grip on their professional tasks at hand.
