An Hour of
Tea and Tai Chi
A quiet way to begin
at Tao Tai Chi Studio, New Paltz, New York
Describe your image
Sometimes the best way to begin
is not to begin too quickly.
Tai Chi and Tea is a simple, relaxed introduction
to the space, the practice, and the rhythm of learning.
There is no expectation to continue.
You are welcome to come once,
or return again at another time.
​
We still begin with a short request
​
to help coordinate time and space.
What This Experience Is
This is not a formal class.
​
It is a quiet session that includes:
• gentle Tai Chi movement
• time to sit, drink tea, and rest
• space to notice how the body and mind respond
​
The pace is unhurried.
There is time to settle between movements.
Several teas are prepared, often including:
• black tea
• jasmine
• rose
• pu-erh
​
Along with a light Chinese-style snack.
The experience is simple and natural.
Who This Is For
This is often a good starting point for those who:
• feel curious, but not yet ready for a course
• prefer a relaxed and social atmosphere
• would like to experience the space before deciding
• want to bring a friend or family member
​
No prior experience is needed.
A Gentle First Step
For some, this is simply a quiet experience.
​
For others, it becomes a way to sense
whether a deeper practice may be meaningful.
​
There is no need to decide in advance.
Returning
You are welcome to return at another time.
​
Some people visit once.
Some return after a few months.
Some come once or twice a year.
​
Each visit offers a slightly different experience.
Structure and Tuition
This session is shared in a small group.
​
Standard visit:
$150 total (for 2–6 people)
​
If your first visit begins as scheduled,
you are welcome to return at a reduced rate within one year:
​
• $100 total for up to two people
• $120 total for up to five people
​
This reflects a continued relationship with the space.
After Your Visit
There is no expectation to continue.
If you feel interested in exploring further,
you may later choose:
​
• private training
• a small group program
​
Or simply return again for another Tea and Tai Chi session.
A Quiet Invitation
You are welcome to come as you are.
​
No preparation is needed.
No decision is required.
​
Just a small step,
when the time feels right.
