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). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

From the reviews
I initially started taking Qi Gong and Tai Chi classes with Sal Canzonieri for stress reduction and to reduce my stress headaches. He helped me in that area tremendously: I do not get headaches any more. The other benefits I have experienced over the last 12 years have been equally life changing.
I got to know Sal in the mid 1990s when he helped our Sifu identify our family style. He offered his expertise free of charge, and now all these years later our style thrives. He is a fantastic teacher, practitioner and kung fu brother. Full marks and an enthusiastic endorsement from everyone in our program..
Sal is a one of a kind teacher with a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. He is a storyteller and healer, bundled into one! You will walk away with a new sense of the practice. It is never a dull moment in Sal's class!
Sal is an excellent Qi Gong teacher! Every class of his Jin Dao Life program makes you feel the Chi flowing very powerfully and you feel very relaxed and energetically cleansed afterwards. A Highly recommended class!
New to tai chi? Start at Jin Dao Life - Tai Chi, Qigong & Natural Chinese Martial Arts of NC
Jin Dao Life - Tai Chi, Qigong & Natural Chinese Martial Arts of NC 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 Jin Dao Life - Tai Chi, Qigong & Natural Chinese Martial Arts of NC
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.
