Tai Chi Lifestyle
Discover Your 5-Minute Holistic Movement Ritual For Lifelong Wellness!
You might have heard that Tai Chi is a low-impact exercise recommended by doctors for physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual benefits. But the most challenging part is actually learning it! I know from first-hand experience.
My path to learning Tai Chi started in the mid 90's for 5 straight years of study. My teacher chose to show us the traditional, "Long form" of 108 movements. 2 years in and only about 2/3rds of the way through it, he decided to switch it up and show us the, "Short form," only 24 movments which took another year.
During this time, almost all of the instruction was just watch the teacher and follow him. There wasn't any explanation of the meaning of what we were learning. It's a sad fact that this is the majority of how Tai Chi is taught: slow, repetitive and hopefully someday it clicks for you.
This method was so frustrating for me. Who has time for this?? It's not the 1600's anymore!
Since I began teaching in 2014, my goal has always been to have my students get right to the essence of what is happening in the fastest, simplest way possible, and to make sure that they leave each session with the results of feeling calm in the mind and awake in the body.
I wanted to create an online intensive program where I could not just have you "follow me," but provide live weekly feedback, coaching, answer questions, share insights and be in an uplifting community atmosphere just like you would have at a good local school.
Most importaly I want you to have a deep understanding and build enough of a habit to be able to go out in nature and practice on your own and cultivate the real mind-body magic that these arts have to offer over a lifetime.
I call it,
"Tai Chi Lifestyle."
As a Tai Chi practitioner, you become strong, confident and coordinated in your body, have a natural way to relieve stress and anxiety, and thrive as you age with a sense of inner peace and balance.
Elevate your well-being in 8 weeks with online Tai Chi group coaching, focusing on a compact form that builds physical strength, emotional balance, and enduring vitality.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Week 1: Play, Posture and Principles
Create a weekly, “Play Tai Chi,” schedule. Learn the mechanics of correct posture for balancing qi flow and be introduced to 8 Tai Chi principles that bring your movements to life.

Week 3: Balance Softness and Strength
Increase strength and flexibility in your muscles, joints and bones of the hips and legs, while improving internal qi and blood circulation through the organs.
Week 4: Better Breathing
Learn to positively affect the balance between the sympathetic (arousal) and parasympathetic (calming) aspects of the nervous system which boosts immune function and prevents chronic diseases.
Week 5: Feedback and Flow
Having completed the entire form, it’s now a session for continued refinement and corrections.
Week 6: Daoist Philosophy
Continued practice and discussion on how to apply concepts such as, “Acceptance, Softness Overcoming Hardness, and Going with the Flow,” into your daily life.
Week 7: Yin & Yang Theory
Exploring the duality of opposites working together, and balancing constant change.

Celebrating the fact that you now have a lifelong skill of transforming all types of stress, while cultivating health and longevity.
KIND WORDS:
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Beginners, of all ages and genders, that are serious about improving their mental and physical health and who enjoys a good challenge, as Tai Chi is slightly more complex than Qigong.
WHAT OTHER RESTORATIVE PRACTICE DO YOU KNOW OF THAT CAN HELP WITH ALL OF THIS AND MORE?
Posture, body awareness, coordination, balance issues, heart and lung issues, bone density, joint pain, inflammation, leg strength, high blood pressure, calming the nervous system, improving blood circulation, cardiovascular disease, stroke, depression, type 2 diabetes, stress, COPD, asthma, cognitive function, emotional resilience, stress, anxiety disorders, self-esteem and sleep.
MY PROMISE & PURPOSE:
At the end of this 8-week group coaching you will memorize and understand Yang style 8 Forms Tai Chi, a standardized form that reduces anger and anxiety, improves organ function and coordination, while creating more daily energy and connection with the natural flow of life.
I CREATED THIS PROGRAM TO HAVE MY EYES ON YOU.
Every Tai Chi teacher and student knows that to learn this art form, you need more than a book or a video. You need to be guided with inspiration, corrected with compassion and be inside of a supportive community.
This is the one time a year where I provide as much group and individual coaching and corrections (for those willing to demonstrate), in order to create confident Tai Chi players who can cultivate the practice long after the course ends. And I'll always be accessible via email or direct message to happily guide you along this path.
