Movement, meditation, energy
Develop flexibility, resilience, and vibrant health
with the Taoist Internal Arts of
Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation, and Bagua Zhang.
Begin with the art that matches your interests and inclination, and see where it takes you. It may be the perfect fit. Many people try out and then learn two or more, as they inform each other and deepen practice.
The best way to learn the Internal Arts is from a live instructor. There is no substitute for personal feedback and lessons tailored to one’s needs and interests.. We offer private instruction in person or via the internet, which has proven to be both effective and efficient.
