From the reviews

Teresa is wonderful. I've been going to her for almost 5 years now. She has a lovely personality and is very skilled at finding the pain points without me even saying anything. She really has a talent for healing with her hands.

★★★★★ — Jim, Jul 2025

I attended my first class today. The instructor and other attendees were very welcoming and friendly. The center has a good vibe. The class was awesome! The instructor offered modifications regularly and allowed room for individualization. I would definitely attend again. Bring water!-

★★★★★ — The, Dec 2019

Teresa is an angel! I could tell immediately she is well-experienced and incredibly skilled in her techniques. I can only base that off of previous deep-tissue massages with other therapists. I would never keep up with them in rescheduling because I really didn’t feel much different upon getting home.

New to tai chi? Start at Irvington Wellness Center

Irvington Wellness Center 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 Irvington Wellness Center

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.
