Instructor Audrey Hartz:
Audrey Hartz is a retired Rehabilitation Nurse. She has practiced Qigong and Tai Chi since 1998. She experienced health benefits including reduced stress, improved balance, flexibility and focus. She completed courses in 18 Movement Qigong, Dr.. Paul Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis, and is a Practice Leader for Tai Chi Easy by Roger Jahnke. She has worked with Rhonda Donahoo, Tai Chi by the Sea since 2014.
Tai Chi Easy consists of classic and simple Qigong, combined with five simple traditional movements from Tai Chi. The practice involves moving the body gently in an optimized posture, deepening the breath and clearing the mind. This opens pathways allowing Qi to flow to maximize function and promote self-healing. It is very gentle, calming and easily adaptable to physical and psychological challenges. Practices are typically done in a standing posture but may be adapted to be done seated.

Instructor Barbara Magee:
In May of 2000, while suffering with back and neck pain, Magee started taking Tai Chi for Arthritis with Rhonda Donahoo. Magee made it part of her daily routine and soon the easy but powerful movements of the Sun style Tai Chi made a difference in her life. She then advanced to the more challenging moves of the Yang style Tai Chi and is currently learning the yang sword form. She always looked forward to helping others learn this healing martial art by expanding the classes being offered in the area.
In May of 2002, she was honored to attend one of the last Tai Chi for Arthritis Instructor Training workshop being taught in Florida by founder Dr. Paul Lam. Learning from Dr. Lam was a dream come true for Barbara Magee. Magee is a shining example of what the program can do and was one of the star pupils of the workshop. Barbara retired from teaching Sept. 2010. On January 19, 2012 she continued her journey in the arms of her Angels. Barbara Magee we will miss your caring spirit.
