Progressive Tai Chi Training for Active Longevity
Did you watch a 3-minute Tai Chi video online and think, "I want to move like that on day one"? You aren't alone. But real Qi flow takes time.
Move Like Silk is a program I developed over 40 years of teaching moving meditation, bodywork, Shiatsu, Thai massage, and easy to follow movement for non-dancers. Designed for beginners and all levels, it is a space to go deeper into the beauty of inner peace and effortless flow.
Here, we step away from rigid instruction and the pressure to look like a pro. Instead, we focus on a steady, continuous process of Tai Chi and Qigong practice—improving balance, stability, and deep relaxation.
Come as you are, leave the performance behind, and experience a practice built on decades of working intuitively with the human body. No rhythm or prior experience required.

“As a neurologist, I know that keeping our brains active as we age is essential. Learning new skills strengthens the connections between our nerve cells, and Tai Chi beautifully combines mental engagement with physical movement. It’s one of the best ways to nurture both brain and body so we can continue to thrive throughout life.”
