“I discovered Tai Chi in 1986 and have been practicing the art daily ever since. It was my good fortune to train with Tai Chi Grandmasters in the U.S. and in China. Good health, flexibility, balance, a clear mind and increased energy are the well-documented benefits of this Tai Chi practice. Sharing this work with my students is a wonderful source of joy for me.”
