Judy Grant, our long-time instructor from Eltham, has retired from teaching Tai Chi. Judy joined Celestial as a student in 1993. Having first started at the Bundoora Centre, she spent time at Bulleen, then Moonee Ponds and finally settled at Eltham.
She took over the running of the Eltham Centre around 2006. Judy has contributed to the College greatly over the years; she has performed at banquets, performed at Moomba, attended many retreats, and been a great supporter of participants at the WTQA Festival. Judy leads by example, and always attended instructor training and also encouraged her instructing team to attend as well. Judy’s Tai Chi is beautiful and precise and reflects the attention she puts into her learning and teaching.
Judy has maintained very high student numbers at her centre due to the amount of care and thought she puts into every little detail. She always has a positive word to say and is quick with praise and a smile. She is an incredibly generous, warm, sharing person. Judy is greatly respected by all at the College and will be greatly missed. Congratulations to Judy on her 25 years at Celestial Tai Chi College and we wish her all the best in her retirement. Senior Instructor Suzette Hosken will take over the running of the Eltham Centre.
A farewell message from Judy Grant
A big thank you to all those instructors and students who have influenced me over the past twenty-five years with the college. To the Eltham team – bravo! Your dedication and support has made the centre what it is today. Special thanks for the emails, cards, gifts and expressions of gratitude I have received on my retirement. It has been surprising and gratifying. I wish you all well for your Tai Chi endeavours and trust you find the benefits of regular practice just as life changing as I have.
