PDX Tai Chi 2004-2015

PDX Tai Chi was the moniker for my fitness classes in Portland, OR.

I landed my first professional Tai Chi teaching job when I moved to Portland in the summer of 2004. It was a dream come true. I used to take a bus to downtown from St. Johns, transfer to ride the Street Car into what would become the South Waterfront, and then walk the train tracks south to Avalon Health Spa. It took over an hour to get there. Then I would teach an hour-long class, and head home. It was a start, and a good one at that.

I’ve since taught classes in parks, theaters, schools, businesses, wellness centers, gyms, assisted living centers, studios, and art events. I also began practicing and teaching Yoga after attended teacher training at Lotus Seed, and I’m a registered instructor at Yoga Alliance.

Nowadays I teach in Lambertville, NJ.
