These movements bring your mind to a level of peace where you can let go of what no longer serves you which in turn gives rise to new ideas and pursuits that are more aligned with who you are.

Leia’s journey with Tai Chi started in 2006. She begun from the basics, the traditional 64 Yang style movement form and practiced with a teacher and at home.

As an athlete from early childhood, Leia immediately recognized the value of the practice in releasing the tension in her muscles and allowing for a healthy flow throughout her body. She saw years of tension, built up in competitive figure skating and dance, melt away during that first year of regular practice.

She realized that this practice worked better than any of the stretches and restorative exercises her sports teachers taught her over the years. She also realized that only a small percentage of the people around her even knew about this practice. Leia decided to become a professional and bring Tai Chi to the larger western community…

A mother of two, she put everything on the line and moved her family to China so that they could all learn from the masters. She thought it was paramount to give her children the education in Chinese Martial Arts so that wherever they were in the future they would always have this tool to help their bodies heal and their minds relax even in challenging times.
