Voices from the Practice
Great instructions. Engaging and made an impact.
I appreciate that the instructor, Josue, is sharing the philosophy and teachings of Taoism and the Taoist Arts as well as the actual movements of this Tai Ji form. I'm learning more than ever before in spite of having participated in Tai Ji classes previously and I love this class!
Our instructor is friendly, knowledgable, taught non-invasive form correction and I met a nice woman.
Josue explains the practice well and models excellent form. He runs the class at a pace that is easy to follow. I feel welcome and the energy is good
