Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny Packard is absolutely wonderful! I've attended classes through the Badger Community Education program and at the Lake Geneva public library - with plans to regularly attend weekly in Williams Bay. Johnny has a very calming demeanor and soothing voice which makes his gentle teaching style so welcoming and easy to follow. Tai Chi really is for all ages with its characteristic slow, safe movements and breathwork that engages mind, body and spirit. The energy flow created within oneself as a result is amazing! Johnny's knowledge and experience is vast and it shows! I highly recommend his classes! You won't be disappointed. You'll very likely walk away energized and refreshed while also feeling inner peace and calm. Thank you Johnny for bringing this enriching program to the community!!

Of all the classes, with all the teachers, in all the places, my Tai Chi class with Johnny Packard at the Lake Geneva Library was, bar none, the best!The setting along the lakeshore of Geneva Lake is beautiful and invigorating. The instructions from Johnny include some history of Tai Chi practice, the movements are explained as to what parts of our body are getting the benefits. There is a demo of the form first, then we follow along. It is a superior experience. I am eager to get to the next class!

Johnny is a true teacher. Even though he is already very knowledgeable, he continues to learn from and practice with Tai chi masters. He has invested in the technology it takes for him to be able to teach classes professionally from home. He encourages us, his students, to use our recorded classes in order to get the greatest benefit from our work. He keeps movements safe for everyone and suggests modifications for times they are needed. I couldn't ask for more!

Johnny is positive and encouraging and clearly cares about his students. He is able to nurture beginners while challenging more advanced participants. His classes are a nice balance of focus on detail and review/enjoying the practice. I enjoy learning the elements of other practices that he includes in the warm-up section of the class. Johnny has worked hard to create an effective, enjoyable Zoom class this year. Though we are spread across the country, the class truly feels like a community.

This class has been great. Even though we have had to move to a zoom format Johnny has put a lot of effort into the instruction. He is thoughtful, patient and puts his students first. For anyone looking for a Tai Chi class I would highly recommend it.

I am always looking for experiences to share with my wife, and after the usual dings from sports and life, a form of exercise that is mentally and physically rewarding. Johnny is highly knowledgeable, caring, and he keeps the classes upbeat and focused. Recommend to everyone.

We had never practiced Tai Chi before and appreciated the professional manner and positive communication of Johnny. We have learned and improved.
