Does Tai Chi Gung Really Work?
Well, it's been working for thousands of people in our community in more than 30 countries all over the world right now. And Tai Chi Gung has been shared in an unbroken lineage more than 3,000 years, so it's stood the test of time.
Even so, in the end, it matters most that it works for you and that it's a good fit for you in your life!
Standing Tai Chi Gung:
This foundation of Tai Chi Gung offers students a powerful way to strengthen their connection to the energy (Chi) while cultivating physical strength and mental clarity. Students will find the principles learned in class can be applied to everyday life; fostering greater balance, grounding and peace.
This class is ideal for those comfortable standing for a minimum of 45 minutes.

Meet Your Teacher
Brienne Cooper: Certified Tai Chi Gung Instructor
"Before I found Tai Chi Gung, I was in search of a way that I could make a difference in the world; Something that truly could help people.
Can I Join a Class Anytime?
Lao Tzu created a series of warm ups and 4 basic Standing Exercises that are the core of every class. These are simple moving and breathing exercises that help students feel the life energy of Nature directly. Almost 90% of students feel it in their very first class.
Whether you have been studying 6 minutes, 6 months or 6 years, you do the simple movements you learned in your very first class. They serve as an outline, and each student connects in their own way.
Because we don't hold back exercises, and they remain consistent, new students can join a live class any time. You'll feel right at home!
What Should I Wear?
Comfortable street clothes are fine. The class is done standing up, and it's so gentle you won't break a sweat!
Have Any Questions? Call Me!
I'm so excited that you're here! If you have any questions about the classes, or about Tai Chi Gung, I'm happy to answer them.
You can call me at: 407-590-5409
Or send an email to: [email protected]
I'll return your call as soon as I'm able to. In case you missed it above, we've found that the quickest way to figure out if you like Tai Chi Gung is to take a live class.
You're welcome to join us anytime. We look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Brienne Cooper
