~ What People Are Saying ~

"I was totally a beginner, but made to feel quickly at ease. Angie makes you feel so welcome & is so encouraging. What a kind spirit she has."

"I had a great time. Wonderful energy from Angie Sierra. The marine layer, lit by the Sun, seemed like an energy blanket supporting our practice. There was an ethereal quality to the scene echoing East Asian landscape paintings. The gentle and patient teaching from Angie was great. Had a great day afterwards and have told several friends about this gem of a class, teacher and location."

"Awesome instructor. Soooo easy to understand & follow. Great job you do Angie. Great class and beautiful setting too!!"

"My first ever Tai Chi instruction was the best. Angie is a patient and wonderful teacher. She explains the moves in an unhurried way so you get to practice each one and then puts them all together. I was very comfortable and it was the best day I've had in months. The members are all friendly and I loved that Angie took out time to share so we could get to know one another. This is the class I've been waiting for and can hardly wait for the next one. The rest of my day was full of energy and an overall feeling of peace and wellness. Thank You, Angie Sierra. You're a phenomenal teacher and kind spirit. Namaste"

~ Angie Sierra's Tai Chi Story ~

"I'll never forget the first time I came across Tai Chi. It was at a 5-days silent retreat. I was walking in nature and noticed a man underneath this beautiful tree moving in a slow, graceful, dancing-like manner. I didn’t know at the time what exactly he was doing, but I was fascinated by the meditative-like movements. I stopped and sat in awe, wondering what this was, but I couldn’t ask him because we were at a silent retreat :)

As soon as I got home, I Googled ‘graceful meditative movements,’ and Tai Chi came up. I searched for classes in my area and found a beginners’ group minutes away. It only took attending one class to fall in love with the art.

After a few months, I was then invited to practice three days a week with a master named Master Tâm at a Buddhist temple in Long Beach, CA. There we practiced Tai Chi, Fan, Dao, Shaolin Cane, and other similar forms. Since then, I have become a Tai Chi instructor, and my balance, focus, and overall health have improved as a result of Tai Chi."
