Tai Chi Chuan with Jude L.

My instruction focuses on health, well-being and becoming more at ease through Tai Chi and Qigong exercises rather than martial arts. I first encountered the power of Tai Chi to build inner resilience during an instructive demonstration in which the teacher was able to effortlessly hold his arms outstretched long beyond any of the students. At that moment I realized, “There is more to our physical bodies than meets the eye.” It sent me on a quest to discover what that power was. I then met and began studying with Master Henry Wang in B.C. Canada in 2000 that opened up another magnitude of understanding of internal Tai Chi principles. Over the last three decades, I have been exploring, studying and teaching Tai Chi & Qigong principles and here’s what I’ve learned: 1) Learning to be soft in a hard world allows us to access subtle energy and hidden abilities that help us to stay happy and healthy. 2) Don’t believe everything you think. Our minds often work against us and create destructive tension in our bodies. 3) We’ll be waiting a long time for change to happen if we don’t initiate change within ourselves first. 4) How you connect to your body, the Earth, and the greater field that surrounds us opens up greater solutions to the problems we face. My passion is to help others understand the deeper internal arts of Tai Chi. I am dedicated to sharing the power of Tai Chi to transform people’s lives. I hope you’ll join me.
