Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher).

From the reviews
Li Fu’s depth of knowledge and passion for the internal arts is so broad she can offer a wealth of experience for those wishing to follow this path. Truly a bridge between east and west, she is able to pass on these skills in a way that that beginners and experienced practitioners can easily understand.
Training at Four Dragons Institute- -Tai Chi for Health and Longevity has been very enlightening for me personally. Practicing and teaching the various movements has definitely improved my posture, physical strength and overall health.
I attended the class at Levy park on February 28th and our instructor was amazing 🙏🏼 I felt peace within me in her presence and with her guidance. Though I do not practice tai chi regularly she inspired me to begin to learn more and implement it into my own personal spiritual practice 🙏🏼✌🏼✊🏼💙
I have greatly benefited from practicing Tai Chi at Levy Park and Evelyn's Park with Simone. She is an excellent and supportive teacher.
New to tai chi? Start at Blue Dragon Tai Chi - For Health and Longevity
Blue Dragon Tai Chi - For Health and Longevity comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Blue Dragon Tai Chi - For Health and Longevity
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
