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.

What students say
“I am a 77 year old woman and Jing has helped me tremendously with my balance and movements to gain more flexibility.”
From the reviews
I have attended classes with Jing shut for several years. I am a 77 year old woman and Jing has helped me tremendously with my balance and movements to gain more flexibility. She is extremely patient and encouraging and goes at the pace of each student.
Our teacher Jing was very informative. Our first lesson was great and we will be continuing in our journey of learning about tai chi. We are learning not only the physical but also the meaning behind tai chi.
A very warm welcoming teacher. But what is of much more interest is, that shifu Jing is very very competent, transmitting her knowledge in a very efficient easy going manner to her students. Keep going on and hope to get another opportunity coming to the states for training with you!
New to tai chi? Start at Tao Tai Chi Studio
Tao Tai Chi Studio 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 Tao Tai Chi Studio
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.
