"I have been taking tai chi with Chris for 3 yrs. It is amazing how much these simple, low impact movements have made me feel! I have less stress, I'm able to move more fluidly even with all of my arthritis, muscle & joint issues. It gives me such a sense of peace... I highly recommend this class for anyone with a lot of stress, anxiety & pain....you can even do seated tai chi..."
