"Lucy's classes combine food for the soul, exercise for the brain, and the joy of movement, even for students who may feel they're uncoordinated. Fun, friendly and welcoming! Lucy is a treasure: a patient and skillful teacher with deep expertise in Tai Chi and Qigong."

"Lucy is a great teacher! She not only makes sure we learn the Tai Chi moves, but also the nuanced aspects of Tai Chi that give it its healthful benefits: connecting movement with breath, moving in such a way to protect the body from injury, building a strong core and great balance. Each class is like a rigorous moving meditation. I feel strong and balanced - and also fierce! - after Lucy’s class."

"The Qigong & Tai Chi Easy is ideal for beginners who need time and a slower pace to master these movements which are gentle yet effective in producing desired results for improving balance, circulation, mobility and relaxation. Our teacher and guide, Lucy Gao, is very special as she is sensitive to the needs of her students and very patient with repeated explanations and demonstrations. The more that I take part in these classes, the better I feel physically, mentally and emotionally. This is what is needed especially during these times of high stress due to Covid and the tensions going on in our country. The skills we learn in these classes help us to better cope with all the stressors in our world. I highly recommend these classes."

"When I started taking Lucy’s Tai Chi classes, I didn’t think I would continue for as long as I have. I am happy to say that because of her patience with her students and her encouragement, I am making progress and look forward to every class.
She is a most gracious teacher, and we are learning a lot from her."

"As a student in Lucy's Tai Chi and Qigong classes for the last several years, I highly endorse them. Lucy is very knowledgeable and skilled at breaking a Tai Chi form into manageable lessons. She often gives some insight into the background and origin of these martial arts forms. Each class leaves me feeling more balanced and invigorated. I am happy to be a continuing student of Lucy's classes."

~~Paula P.
"I have been taking Tai Chi with Lucy for a number of years now and continue to learn something new in each session. As taught by Lucy, this moving art form improves concentration and balance. It is a mild workout which enhances the mind and body."

"Lucy is a wonderful movement teacher—a rare quality these days. She is patient and as focused on the details of placement as she is on the dynamics of the flow. I had always wanted to learn Tai Chi—learn it in a way that comes to inhabit one—and Lucy has made it possible for me to get much closer to my goal of making Tai Chi a permanent part of my life. She is also particularly good about making clear what the various moves/forms are called, and why—including what their martial origins are—and additionally helps students understand the importance and function of the 12 meridians thru which the qi flows. If you want to learn Tai Chi, you could not have a better instructor than Lucy."
