Beginner Small Group Program
A carefully formed beginner group for students who enjoy learning with new people. Classes begin when the right group comes together.
Because we take time to thoughtfully form each group, new sessions are offered only a few times each year.
Not sure where to begin?
Many students are not certain at first.
Some students begin with one-to-one training
and later join a small group.
Some begin in a Beginner Small Group Program
and continue through private lessons.
Some arrive as family members, friends, or colleagues, creating their own private learning group from the very beginning.
Some first experience Tea & Tai Chi
and return later for deeper study.
You do not need to decide everything now.
Begin with a short conversation,
and together we will find a path that fits your timing and your life.
Nature of Wellness
A Quiet Studio, Led by One Teacher
Tao Tai Chi Studio is a small, one‑teacher space.
All programs are taught by the founder, Jing Shuai,
whose path in Tai Chi began more than twenty years ago
and has been shaped by teachers from traditional lineages in China
as well as many years of teaching in the United States.
The studio’s approach is simple:
learn with sincerity, practice with steadiness,
and let the art unfold at its natural pace.
Many students appreciate this grounded way of learning
and the continuity of studying with one teacher
who has walked the path for a long time.

A Practice of
Timing and Alignment
At Tao Tai Chi Studio, we believe that practice begins
when time, people, and intention come together.
You do not have to force the right moment.
When the heart is ready, the first step feels natural.
You are welcome to take your time.
You are welcome to read, to pause, and to return later.
When you feel ready,
the next step is simple.
