Uli & Alfons Staerk, Intro and Intermediate Tai Chi 

​

“I loved learning Tai Chi - it is not what I expected and it is very engaging. I enjoyed how low pressure the class was, making the complex movements approachable.”
 
“The relaxed atmosphere. There was no pressure to be perfect. Every effort was made to ensure we could see what was being demonstrated.”
 
“Alfons did an amazing job explaining and teaching the form, the philosophy, and the principles of Tai Chi. His passion for martial arts is very apparent and infectious and his patience teaching beginners was very lovely.”
 
"Exemplary instruction!! Class size.  How comfortable we were made to feel... Very non-competitive, easy to participate, always encouraged to ask questions, etc."

Steven Blair, Spine Health Yoga

"My work with Dr. Blair has been so rewarding. He is a skilled chiropractor, with a keen eye for structural issues to address, and he works with me exactly as I requested--by showing me specific yoga sequences that can continue my healing in my own practice. With every visit I learn more and feel better and stronger." – Jane F.

"Last week I completed an Evolution of Balance Yoga lower back series. Steven was encouraging and positive with a beginning yoga practitioner (me!).The therapy application was excellent, I have tools to prevent and relieve my office and injury related symptoms. I have been given several therapy routines, this series is easily done at home I have been using them regularly since our first week. Steven thoroughly understands and applies the techniques to the group's needs. Finally, I have a new interest and appreciation for yoga practice. Thank you for a valuable and truly enjoyable series." – Bob Z.
