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!

Maribeth's Tai Chi Gung classes have significantly changed our lives for the better. My husband and I originally joined to help improve his balance, but we discovered so much more along the way.
The gentle movements and emphasis on breathing have not only improved his stability but have also cultivated a deep sense of well-being for both of us. We are truly grateful for Maribeth!
