Peace & Lightness
By: Kompalya Thunderbird

After learning T’ai Chi Chih’s nineteen movements and one pose with Neena Mitchell, I felt an immediate sense of calm and renewal. My body relaxed and savored the stillness. After my first six-week course I experienced more peace than ever before. Prior to TCC, I was petulant and worried all the time, unable to feel balanced in the company of others. During the practice, I experience a peace through movement that has been unknown to me. I have practiced yoga for many years and received great results, but TCC has offered me harmony and clarity. I believe these powerful movements offer a clearing of the soul, a lightness in everyday circumstances, and a joy to share with others.
