Welcome to the Health Preservation Association
What is the HPA?
The Health Preservation Association(HPA) is an Association whose purpose
is to train competent, highly qualified instructors to help prevent illness
and disability in healthy individuals and to support persons with chronic
illness or disabiliy to regain and maintain maximum health and longevity.
Focus of the Program
This educational program focuses on methods and techniques to prevent
illness and disability. While it is not a substitute for medical care, it
does provide well-tested methods that have been helpful to those who have
used them for centuries.
The HPA has developed specific programs for maintaining health and wellbeing. These programs focus on many ailments and target organs for better health and healing.
2008 HPA Four Season Workshops
Grandmaster Jiang Jianye is very pleased with the results of the
Health Preservation Association (HPA) Seasonal Workshops held
in 2008.
2008 was the first year of the HPA and a lot of hard work went into making it a success.
More than 500 people from across the U.S. attended workshops.
I know that you have worked hard, and I want to thank all of you
(instructors, schools, and students) for your efforts.
Two schools presented all four seasonal workshops and so a special thanks goes to:
- Brother Bernard from Pennsylvania, and
- San Gee Tam's Golden Flower Tai Chi School from North Carolina
These instructors invested significant time and effort creating flyers and contacting the local communities with e-mails and flyers to attract attendance at their workshops.
Results of some 2008 Seasonal Workshops can be seen in the workshop photos. The instructors represented in the photos include:
- Brother Bernard Seif - Pennsylvania
- Master San Gee Tam - Westfield, North Carolina
- Master King Lam - Louisiana
- Mark Small - Asheville, North Carolina
- Robert Saint-Louis - Illinois
- Steven Sonmore - Minnesota
- Jonathan Walker - New Jersey
- James Seivert - Ohio
- Richard Todd - Florida
2009 workshops will be coming soon. If we work together the HPA will grow and we can help everyone stay healthy and active.
