Testimonials

"Our Tai Chi Class has helped me in several ways; better breathing, easing stiff joints, and has improved my posture and balance. My balance is of primary concern because I have osteoporosis and don't want to fall. I like the Chi Kung exercises we do in class. They are easy to remember so I can do them at home to warm-up in the morning."
Liz Child

"For me, practicing Tai Chi relaxes my body and calms my mind resulting in an overall sense of well being. Learning to breath properly (expanding the abdomen instead of the chest) has been the greatest benifit. I have asthma and need all the air I can get. Wish I would have learned this years ago."
Keith Steinhart

"I am gaining several benefits from Tai Chi & Chi Kung classes. I believe my flexibility, balance and coordination are continuously being exercised and therefore improving. Whie I'm doing Tai Chi, in class or at home, I concentrate on the present moment so that I let go of thoughts of work and responsibilities. It is a form of meditation, freeing my mind. I enjoy the precise, flowing momevents. I feel a sense of renewed energy and yet calm and centered."
Ellen Weddigen

"I began Tai Chi because I thought it was beautiful. I stay with it because it calms me. It lowers my blood pressure and centers me. I have a bad back and the physical therapist told me that the Chi Kung exercises would be good for me. The exercises work and don't overwork my back."
Barbara Ann Chestnut

"Relaxation! Tai Chi has taught me how to calm my body down, be easy on myself and not to expect perfection. The exercises have been beneficial and I have gained social self growth."
Peggy Kerby

"I have severe pain in my lower back due to arthritis. Since I started taking Tai Chi I have felt definite improvement. The pain is less nowe than it was, and I am feeling more flexibility of movement."
Grace Evans

"I'm currently undergoing physical therapy for "frozen shoulder" and my therapist has noticed the added improvement when I do the Chi Kung exercises. I had to miss classes for a month, and really noticed how much strength and range of motion I lost from not doing the exercises. I highly recommend Tai Chi to anyone, young and old, to maintain and build strength and reduce pain and stiffness. I really like the visualization explanations given in class"
Karen Pinney

"Becoming conscious of how the Chi, my piece of universal life energy, moves within me; becoming conscious of how to work with it in balancing a sense of peace and wholeness within me has been a marvelous experience in personal spiritual growth. Tai Chi connects me to a heightened sense of self that enriches every day of my life."
Laird Thompson

"I thoroughly enjoy taking Tai Chi. Even with two bad knees and balance problems, I am able to participate. The instructor, Spero Asimos, is very good about showing students how to modify the exercises if we had any discomfort. Thi Chi is a great way to exercise and work on lower extremity strength and balance."
Kelly Pogg

"My physical therapist suggested that I enroll in a Tai Chi class to relieve pain caused by severe muscle tension. My form is not perfect but, I have reached my goal of increased flexibility and reduced my pain."

Velma Hutton

"We started to receive the benefits from Tai Chi almost immediately. In addition to relaxation, we feel more flexible, we have improved our balance, breathing, posture, and we feel more energetic. In general, we can say we're getting various therapeutic benefits. As we continue our classes and practice, we sleep better and are more relaxed."

Felipe & Marta Gomez

"I am fortunate to be in excellent health. I belong to a competition tap and a performance dance group, requiring several hours a week of practice. I joined Tai Chi to help mantain my balance, to mentally regroup, and to revisit my spiritual truths. Tai Chi has provided a surprising added benefit that allows me to isolate muscles I have "tweaked" while dancing and to work out the soreness. Spero is a knowledgeable and patient sifu. It is obvious that he devotes much time to the study of Tai Chi and lives his life accorking to its tenets."
