Inspired

I have truly enjoyed learning the art of T’ai Chi Chih (TCC) under the wonderful instruction of Oreann. She brings students into a world of peace and calm and introduces them to the energy that flows from the movements. She has the patience of a great teacher and inspires students to aspire to master the movements. I have come to feel the energy and to give and receive the energy of TCC. I look forward to Monday mornings, to the camaraderie and peace of our class. We all depart inspired and energized by TCC.
