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
I have been to a couple of events at the Sadana Center and I love it. I left feeling lighter, happier and so glad I went. I went to a sound bath and the Chinese New Year and both were amazing. I definitely intend on attending more classes and meditations here in the future. Definitely check it out!
I have been going to the Sadana Center for almost 5 years. It has been life changing for me. I would recommend this to everyone. The classes and meditations bring inner peace, calm and balance. Life is a journey and I am blessed to have the Sadana Family in my life.
Qigong is a truly enlightening experience, it has helped me to find healing, clarity and focus in my life. The Sadana Center is welcoming and peaceful. Master Shifu Orlando teaches from his roots-he is knowledgeable and passionate.
Qigong class at Sadana Center with Master Shifu Orlando is healing on many levels. The tools I've learned in class have without a doubt improved my life on every level-physically, emotionally and spiritually.
New to tai chi? Start at Sadana Center
Sadana 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 Sadana 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.
