Description

Specialties

The first thing I teach and most important principle in my mind is that Tai Chi is about learning to «relax». We all know that whatever we do we do it better when we are relaxed.

We use the Tai Chi movements, which are very difficult to perfect as a framework that we try to relax around. This to me is a metaphor for those moments in life when we are put in difficult or stressful positions. Those are the moments that having the abilities to relax, breath deeply and focus are priceless.

Mission Statement:

To promote the safe and productive practice of Tai Chi Chuan for Meditation, Healing Arts, Fitness Training and Martial Arts.

To inspire people to practice Tai Chi and enhance their lives.

Tai Chi is rooted in Chinese Medicine. Each posture, when done correctly, should be like an acupuncture treatment, opening the meridians and allowing energy to flow through the body.

My classes are a workout but no one is asked to go beyond where they are comfortable.
