About

I offer Tai Chi, Qigong, and Yoga classes in and around Portland, Oregon. My approach to teaching Tai Chi comes from learning in the parks of New York, San Francisco, and Hangzhou. I am an ever-evolving student who loves to learn new things. As an instructor, I strive to facilitate a fun and challenging atmosphere leading people to discover the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of developing their own personal movement practice. Everyone is welcome in my classes.
