Taichi (also spelled taiji or taijiquan) is a meditation in movement designed to increase health and wellbeing.
Taichi is a tool for emotional and physical grounding, promoting good posture, efficient movement, whole body circulation and gentle mindfulness. A metaphor for spiritual principles, it is both exercise and a vehicle for experiencing integrity and grace. With regular practice, taichi leads to an ever greater sense of inner peace.
I teach in a lighthearted way with humor, personal interaction and intimate class sizes. My goal is to make the learning fun and enjoyable, while making the study practical and applicable to life. I use teaching stories from taichi teachers, Buddhist teachings, and my own experiences to convey the deeper significance of the movements.
I have been studying taichi in the lineage of Cheng Man-ching since 1991, mostly with Ed Young. In 2005 I was given permission to teach in my own school. In addition to small group classes, I offer private lessons.
