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
My family and I have been training at EWKF for 18 months. We love it and my kids (my son started at 3.5 yo and my daughter at 4.5 yo) are doing so well within the school. I chose this school because I could attend with my kids. Ms Baker is the head of the school and has created the best community environment.
I am surprised this place doesn’t have many reviews. This is a gem of a place. We love it here. The training is top notch and instructors are excellent. I can’t wait to see the progress my child will make as he continues to attend.
It's been really great. Everything from the trial lessons to the classes and private lessons. Highly recommend.
New to tai chi? Start at Richard Lee's East West Kung Fu - San Ramon
Richard Lee's East West Kung Fu - San Ramon 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 Richard Lee's East West Kung Fu - San Ramon
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.
