Tai Chi classes are being offered primarily via Zoom at this point. Due to the start of physical distancing in 2020, instruction was moved to mostly one-to-one lessons via Zoom. I didn't expect that this would go as well as it has -- With this level of attention, I've been able to work with people individually, and have seen much greater progress than with group classes. In-person classes will become more common, but I hope that people will consider private Zoom lessons, as a way to rapidly develop their practice.

For the Tucson area, we are beginning to meet in-person again. We're meeting outdoors, practicing physical distancing, and masks are required at this time. In-person classes are by invitation only, so please contact me for more information.

There is a fundamental Tai Chi curriculum, and material that I like to cover. Generally this format will include standing meditation, single movement exercises, and the 37 movement Yang style form. However, I do not strictly follow a syllabus, but prefer to identify the "next step" for a group, and for individuals. Adjustments and ideas are offered, suited to each person. I like to keep the material light, while at the same time paying attention to the foundational principles and basics of Tai Chi. We want to develop a Tai Chi body, to instill the practice into our minds and bodies so that it can help us with strength, resilience, relaxation and calm, all of the time, not just when we practice.

Classes are for all skill levels. Beginners are welcome, and intermediate and even more advanced students find benefits from these practices.

Seminars are available for schools, companies and organizations that are interested in hosting a class for their employees. Often I am approached by company leaders who are looking for ways to help their employees to find strategies to relax and 'de-stress.' I believe that even some of the most rudimentary Tai Chi exercises can be beneficial for relaxation (amongst other health benefits). I like to tailor each seminar to the particular wishes and needs of the group. This may involve some exercises with breathing and Qigong that are very simple and easy to follow. Below are a few of the benefits of having a seminar:
