From the reviews

Zuzana was the teacher who introduced me to Qigong and I’m really enjoying learning with her. I feel stronger not only physically but stronger mentally also, more relaxed. She is an excellent teacher who is passionate, positive, caring and calm. Zuzana provides informative and encouraging practice session every time.

★★★★★ — Naomi, Mar 2025

Zuzana is an amazing healer. She is calm, serene and kind. i felt immediately at ease. I am a cancer PATIENT at a wellness center, who went to her for Reiki healing. I was experiencing vertigo as well as looking for some healing.

★★★★★ — Sally, Sep 2025

As a first time Tai Chi student with very little knowledge of the art, I enjoyed Zuzana's class. She is an experienced instructor and has a quiet, effective way of instructing her students. She teaches both the movement, internal principles and practical applications.

New to tai chi? Start at HUMMINGBIRD QIGONG

HUMMINGBIRD QIGONG 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 HUMMINGBIRD QIGONG

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.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
