From the reviews

Scott’s courses have been a tremendous help to my overall health, stress and relaxation. He Has been very helpful with any questions regarding the practices. The time and detail in each lesson helps me to understand not only the movements but also the theory and principles behind them.

★★★★★ — Albert, Jun 2022

Meditation with the owner, Scott, was a transformative experience. Scott is highly knowledgeable and professional. I cannot recommend this place enough!

★★★★★ — Valerie, Jun 2022

For the last 3 years, Scott has been a great influence in my life. Not only is he a wonderful Acupuncturist and healer but a truly great mentor as well. He truly brings out the best in everyone he teaches and it's helped me tremendously personally and as a massage therapist.

New to tai chi? Start at Spring Thunder Taiji Arts

Spring Thunder Taiji Arts 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 Spring Thunder Taiji Arts

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.
