5 ★★★★★ 16 Google reviews · Tai chi studio in Spokane, Washington
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
We are very fortunate to have a Master T'ai Chi teacher in Spokane with direct lineage to the ancient Chinese masters of Yang Style forms, both internal and external, for health, wellbeing and self mastery.
I have been studying martial arts for nearly 20 years and The Tai Chi Cultural House is easily one of the best places I have trained. Steve has a deep and functional knowledge of Tai Chi that helps make a complex art very accessible.
Steve Wang is a meticulous Tai Chi master instructor, he is also adept into breaking it down for beginners to understand in a fun relaxed atmosphere. After a couple of months I've already benefited from some balance improvements and I plan on continuing classes.
Steve is an amazing instructor. His knowledge of Chinese culture is freely shared.
New to tai chi? Start at Tai Chi Culture House
Tai Chi Culture House 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 Tai Chi Culture House
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.
