Private Tai Chi Training
New Paltz, New York
A direct and timely way to begin
Private training offers a clear and personal way to begin Tai Chi.
It is quiet, focused, and shaped around a rhythm that can work with your life.
This path is not defined by preference,
but by timing,
your intention,
a suitable moment in your schedule,
and an opening within the studio.
When these elements come together,
beginning becomes simple and natural.
How Private Training Becomes Available
Tao Tai Chi Studio is a small and steady practice space.
Private training is not scheduled in large blocks in advance.
Instead, it becomes available at certain moments,
when a student completes a cycle,
or when there is a natural shift in the studio rhythm.
At times, this creates an opening
for someone who feels ready to begin soon.
When such timing aligns,
we do our best to arrange a starting point
that works for both the student and the studio.
A Steady but Flexible Structure
Private training follows a clear foundation
while remaining adaptable to real life.
Most students complete the six foundational sessions
over six weeks to three months.
Some meet once a week.
Others come twice a month.
All scheduling is arranged through direct communication.
Life moves, and rhythms change.
If your schedule shifts, you are welcome to adjust with notice.
When time opens, it may be offered to another student.
When you return, your learning continues from where it paused.
For longer breaks,
we simply reconnect and find the next suitable time.
This approach allows both flexibility and fairness.
What You Will Learn
Total training time:
6 hours of one‑to‑one foundational sessions
You will learn:
• Basic postures and transitions
• Alignment and balance
• Principles that support long‑term practice
Tuition:
$400 for 6 private sessions
A $50 deposit confirms your starting time.
The remaining balance is paid at your first session.
The six sessions are approached as one continuous process.
This supports your intention
and the studio’s limited and carefully shared time.
Details are confirmed after your consultation.
Who This Path Tends to Serve
Private training may be a good fit if you:
• Feel ready to begin in the near term
• Prefer a quiet and focused learning space
• Have a schedule that requires some flexibility
• Appreciate clear guidance with personal attention
It may be helpful to wait or consider a small group if you:
• Are still exploring or undecided
• Prefer a shared or social learning environment
• Do not yet have a stable rhythm for practice
A Note on Balance
At Tao Tai Chi Studio,
private training and small group programs
are both essential parts of the practice environment.
Private sessions offer a direct beginning.
Small groups offer a shared rhythm that supports continuity.
Many students experience both over time.
How to Begin
Every path begins with a short conversation.
This may take place as a brief online meeting
or, when appropriate, through email exchange.
The purpose is simple:
to understand your intention,
your availability,
and whether this is the right moment to begin.
There is no obligation to enroll.
If the timing is not aligned,
you are always welcome to return later.
