Q: I have never done Tai Chi before. Will I feel out of place in your Beginning Tai Chi class?

 A: No, you will not feel out of place. I make a point to teach to the newest person in the room. Following the "one room school room" idea, all students learn something new each time they come to class.

Q: What should I wear?

A: Wear something loose fitting and comfortable. Slow-motion movement regulates the flow of energy through the body, which often increases body temperature. A long-sleeved shirt over a short-sleeved shirt can help keep you comfortable.

Q: How often should I come to class?

A: I recommend 1-2 sessions per week to start. However, moving at your own pace and timeframe will keep the process exciting and enjoyable. You will still benefit even if you can only attend once a month.

Q: Can someone with a physical impairment attend your classes?

A: Yes. Whether you have a permanent impairment or are recovering from an accident or surgery, I will work with you to gain benefit from my classes. Depending on your needs, I am also available for private sessions.

Q: Since Tai Chi is a martial art, are you a martial artist?

A: I am not a martial artist but I do discuss martial applications. The martial aspect of a movement assists in learning the correct posture and also demonstrates an easy way to stop aggressive behavior in others.
