Beginning Classes in Qi Gong (pronounced “chee gong”) and T’ai Chi

 

We are honored to be endorsed by Wudang Taoist Priest and T’ai Chi Master Yun Xiang Tseng, and pleased to pass along his teachings.  Master Tseng is a much honored and talented teacher who was one of the youngest people ever to be named Master in China.  He trained from the age of six on Wudang Mountain, and is the only Wudang Master authorized to teach in the United States. His teachings are deeply authentic and of the truest essence of t’ai chi and qi gong.

 

These are classes in traditional qi gong and t’ai chi taught in a relaxed and casual manner.  All of the moves are taught in detail and at a pace all can follow.  Classes are kept to the enrollment that will allow comfortable space for each student as well as to allow for individual attention.  Sets of moves are taught so that the student will have a series of moves to perform at home for practice and to “keep” and use forever to improve health.
