Taichi practice is about finding one's center, and then learning how to move from it.

What is Taichi?

Taichi, also spelled t’ai chi ch’uan or taiji, is a gentle, slow-moving series of Chinese martial arts movements combined into standardized forms.  The benefits of taichi practice include improved flexibility, posture, strength, balance, relaxation, and mental clarity.  Long term practitioners typically develop harmony of mind and body, reducing stress and increasing inner peacefulness.  At a deeper level taichi can also be about getting in touch with the underlying oneness that moves everything.

OUR INSTRUCTORS

Master Liu Yu

Master Liu Yu

Liu Yu commands a masterful teaching style, transmitting the taichi curriculum with an astounding fluidity, aligning perfectly with the wonder and beauty inherent in the principles of taichi itself.

Master Liu Yu’s teaching style is very much like the ocean.  Though tranquil and subtle, she yields the power to transform great obstacles over gentle iterations of persistent force. 

Liu Yu is a lifelong student of the art, beginning her journey as a young child in Baoying China under the tutelage of Master Dai Jiayu.  Demonstrating unyielding focus and natural talent she eventually became a professional Wushu athlete (martial artist) and National hero.  In 1997 her steady vigilance and dedication finally earned her the title of Head Coach for the U.S National Wushu Team.

Liu Yu's Book

Liu Yu’s remarkable memoir, Awakening the Sleeping Tiger, invites everyone to experience the golden age of Chinese martial arts, at a time when competitive wushu was the main entertainment for millions of Chinese.
