An Hour of
Tea and Tai Chi
A quiet way to begin
at Tao Tai Chi Studio, New Paltz, New York
You don’t have to become a Tai Chi student to enjoy an hour of peace.
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 conversation
to help coordinate time, space, and intention.
What This Experience Is
Rather than a formal Tai Chi class,
this is a quiet shared experience 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 group includes 7–8 participants, a small additional fee applies to allow for the extra preparation, seating, and shared experience.
Confirming Your Reservation
Each Tea & Tai Chi experience is prepared privately for one group.
To confirm your reservation, full payment is requested when booking.
One person may complete the reservation on behalf of the group.
Once your reservation is confirmed, everything else can simply wait until you arrive.
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.
​
Come as you are.
Everything else begins here.
