For almost ten years now, I've dedicated myself to teaching Tai Chi Chuan, driven by a fervent desire to impart its profound benefits to others as well as myself. My passion lies in nurturing the well-being of those around me through the practice of this ancient art form.

Mindfulness
Using your intention to pay attention on you, your feeling, your breathing, and your movements.
