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
It is no over-exaggeration to say that the Sun School of Taiji & Martial Arts changed my life. As a longtime martial artist, I have been a member of numerous schools and practiced a wide variety of martial systems.
Master Sun is the real deal. His teaching style is superb and he knows how to assess what a student needs and works with them to achieve their goals. The instructors are also knowledgeable and friendly and welcoming.
I have been studying Baguazhang with Shifu Sun for almost 8 years, if not more. He is the real deal with knowing, understanding and practicing Chinese Martial Arts. He is of a select few that knows the traditional teachings that were not modified by the modern day wushu.
New to tai chi? Start at Sun School of Taiji & Martial Arts
Sun School of Taiji & Martial 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 Sun School of Taiji & Martial 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.
