I was first introduced to Tai Chi in the 1970’s. Now I’m in my 70’s and re-entering my Tai Chi practice with Linda and her Awakening Chi classes. It is transformative including the Qi Gong warm ups. I’m hoping to continue my practice with Linda as I continue to age and maintain my mind and body health.
