Calm Your Mind,
Relax Your Body
Our Tai Chi & Stress Relief seminars give you real tools to reduce stress and find inner peace.
In a world filled with constant pressure, uncertainty, and distraction, you need something that doesn't just help you cope with stress, but actively dissolves it from the inside out.
We’ll give you practical techniques to manage and reduce stress whenever you need to. You’ll leave each session feeling lighter than you did walking in, but the real value is in learning techniques that work for the rest of your life.
These seminars combine gentle Tai Chi movements, Iron Kim Moving Meditation, and proven breathing techniques that are easy to learn and use anytime stress builds up.
Most feel the difference after just one lesson, even with no previous martial arts experience.
A Skill You Can Use
Anytime, Anywhere
One of the greatest benefits of Tai Chi, Moving Meditation and breathing techniques is that once you learn the movements, they’re yours for life.
You’ll be able to use them anytime stress starts to rise, before a big meeting, after a difficult conversation, or even in the middle of a hectic day.
In just a few minutes, you can calm your mind, slow down your breathing, and bring your body back to a state of tranquility.
Whether you’re at home, at work, or traveling, these techniques go with you, giving you a powerful way to reset and refocus whenever you need it.
Mind-Body
Harmony
Each movement is designed to coordinate your breath, posture, and focus.
This connection dissolves physical tension, clears brain fog, and helps you gain emotional balance.
You’ll feel present and steady no matter what’s happening around you.
Gentle, Effective
Movements
You’ll learn slow, flowing techniques that are easy on the joints yet deeply effective.
With these movements you’ll improve your blood circulation, balance, and flexibility.
They’re not just “relaxing”, they recondition your body from the inside out.
Supportive, Peaceful Environment
You’ll practice in a welcoming space where you can learn at your own pace.
Our instructors guide you patiently, helping you get the most from each movement without pressure or competition.
Stress Relief at
Its Source
Instead of masking stress, these methods work to release it at the physical and mental level.
By calming the nervous system and quieting racing thoughts, you’ll leave each session with a clear and calm mind.

"Contrasting it with my previous martial arts experience, there is a much stronger emphasis here on mind-body connection and seeking balance.
Several months into my training and I'm feeling more relaxed with higher stamina and more strength. It's definitely worth the investment for anyone who is willing to commit himself or herself to lasting improvement."
— Lauren H.
"These schools focus on the healing knowledge of martial arts as opposed to the breaking knowledge of martial arts. Yes, you can still learn some very strong self-defense, but the point is to improve yourself and then improve the people and communities around you.
The instructors are all very genuine and caring and the knowledge passed is very deep.
The training combines movements from all east asian styles of martial arts, along with herbs and meditation. There is also philosophy passed, such as not hurting others and being true to your inner self."
— Justin M.
"I used to go to a gym, but that got boring. Then I tried out this place and haven't regretted it for a second. The instructors -- patient, thorough and providing personalized instruction -- make sure everyone improves.
It's a unique mix of martial arts, self defense and mindfulness that challenges the brain as much as the body.
Highly recommend their adult classes and the women's only self defense class."
— Carolyn
