Classes Around the Province

NOTE:
For several years I traveled  on weekends to various areas of the Province, east, west, central and south,  offering T’ai Chi Chih classes.  This page captures some of those experiences.  When students became accredited as teachers west and central, I focused mainly on our east coast area once again. 

I would still be open to possible travels on weekends, pending interest.
Please feel free to contact me for some conversation if there is interest in your area.

Central Newfoundland Area

Meanwhile, some former students continue to aim to meet once a week to practice together. Eager to keep the good energy flowing! Congratulations to all! To be commended for your enthusiasm and faithfulness!
