Update: (April 4, 2026)

Unless noted otherwise, all classes are on the Oak Park stage at the opposite side of the park from the tennis courts, near the corner of Calle Real and Junipero.

Any student wanting to come to an evening class must text me ahead of time. I am unlikely to come an evening class unless you let me know ahead of time that you plan to attend the evening class. At the moment no one is coming to the evening classes, so unless I know someone plans to come, I do not come either.

New student? Just come to any daytime Baby Class. This is where we teach the main principles, and where I have all new students study initially. The classes are very small and have a heavy emphasis on attention to detail. After a month or so you move up to the Toddler Level group where we teach the sequence of movements together with emphasis on principles and detailed instruction of each movement, with these classes being a little larger. You may begin a Baby Level class at anytime.

It is incredibly difficult to study taiji in a once week class so my tuition is geared to encourage a minimum of two classes per week. The weekly tuition for one class a week is $25 and it is only $10 per week extra to add a second class. Any other class taken within that same week is free of charge, so come to as many as you can manage. You may pay by the class or by the week using cash, Zelle or Venmo.

Wear comfortable clothing and if you choose an early morning class, I suggest wearing layers. Wear the flattest shoes you own, preferably with a wide toe box because we spread and grip with our toes. ‘Barefoot’ shoes work the best. Deck shoes or Keds sneakers on the wide side also work well. Running shoes are not good for tai chi.

After you begin classes with our school, you will have access to free practice videos to help your training. These videos relate directly to the lessons in class and are meant to be support material to help you practice between classes.

Private classes by appointment.
