Konnichiwa!
My name is Maki. I was born and raised in the southern part of Japan-- Kagoshima.
I have been teaching Tai Chi Chuan for almost a decade. My passion is to share the greatness of Tai Chi Chuan with others for their well-being. The more I learn about Tai Chi Chuan, the more I discover about myself. I want to help you discover the depths of learning that can be found in regular Tai Chi Chuan practice.
"When I first witnessed Maki practicing Tai Chi, it was like watching a flower bloom in real-time. I was instantly drawn to the internal art. The short form that I learned from her, as well as Qigong fundamentals, have helped me cope with life's stresses in a simple and very pragmatic way."

Mindfulness Practice
with Tai Chi Chuan
Tai Chi Chuan allows you to deeply focus on your body and mind as well as awaking your senses to align with nature.
"Whenever I take a class with Maki, I come away feeling centered, balanced and energized. Maki is patient, answers questions and makes the class fun."
-Sue Ventura, CA-
Mindfulness
Using your intention to pay attention on you, your feeling, your breathing, and your movements.
"Tai Chi has proven to be as much about mental focus as it is about physical movement. Within the Tai Chi learnings, we touch upon methods to improve balance, breathing and relaxation techniques."
-Christine, Filmore, CA-
