Summary:
We had the privilege of joining a private Tai Chi session during our stay in Beijing — and it was far more than just a physical activity. Guided by an incredibly skilled and insightful master, the class gently unfolded into a lesson in movement, mindfulness, and ancient wisdom.
Our teacher’s calm presence, graceful demonstration, and thoughtful guidance allowed us to connect not only with our bodies, but also with the deeper philosophy behind each gesture. He shared profound insights that touched us on an emotional level — reminding us to seek balance, flow with life, and find stillness amidst chaos.
It wasn’t just a class. It was a moment of grounding, a rare pause in a fast-paced journey. We walked away with much more than we came for — inner calm, a greater appreciation for Chinese culture, and a sense of serenity we’ll carry with us for a long time.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing who’s open to something authentic, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. 🙏🕊️

Summary:
I sent Eric an e-mail to book a beginner level Tai Chi class and he was very responsive. We had a very nice 1 hour experience in the garden of the Temple of Heaven during which we learnt 15 basic beginner moves, thé correct posture and also the philosophy of Tai Chi. Eric inspired us both with the exercises and his detailed explanations, to continue Tai chi classes when we will be back home. Unique experience in the capital of Tai Chi’s home country.
