    TaiChi Ray’s class was remarkable in that I actually felt more calm and relaxed whilst performing the movements. The class consisted of only 6 or 7 participants, which allowed Ray to monitor how well we were receiving his instructions. The Qi Gong moves and the breath work seemed simple and easy enough to do but coordinating the movements to synchronize with breathing needed some effort.I will try to practice them from here onwards. I can see myself attending more classes in the future and highly recommend Tai Chi Ray’s method of teaching this time-honored practice of Tai Qi and Qi Gong.

    This is a wonderful Tai Chi class. You get very personalized instruction and Ray is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about practicing and teaching Tai Chi. The class is accessible to anyone, even if you’ve never tried Tai Chi. It’s both challenging and relaxing. I’ll definitely be back!

    As a new person to meditation and Tai Chi this was an excellent experience. Ray initiated the session with a meditation explaining every single step and what to expect from them and continued with the intro to the Tai Chi movements. I wasn’t able to stay for the whole class but I will highly recommend it and will return
