For over a decade I have had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of people the benefits of Tai Chi. There are many styles of Tai Chi but I teach in a less traditional manner. Why? The secret is in deconstructing each move.
How My Original Teaching Style Benefits You
- gain a greater understanding of how the body moves
- efficient learning of weight distribution, body awareness and how you are best supported
- experience each move in depth
- establish comfort with the individual moves before sequences are learned
- in depth explanation of how to stand and move
- deconstruction of the moves for easier application
- emphasis on the economy of movement to save energy in your daily life
- highlighting versatility ensures you get the most out of each move
“Tai Chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own senses, your own mind and body together as one process.”

Previously I have taught gymnastics, several forms of dance, yoga and general fitness exercises. I know and understand very well how the body learns new physical activities which has made me a detail oriented teacher. To learn more about my personal path to Tai Chi, click the link below.
The versatility of Tai Chi is one of my absolute favorite aspects. By combining certain moves, you create a focus or a desired affect. I have developed multiple Specialty Programs click the button below to learn more about how versatile Tai Chi can be. See my standard program below.
