Tai Chi & Qi Gong for Healing

After every Tai Chi class with Luis I marvel at how relaxed, alive, and satisfied I feel. My body becomes renewed and strengthened in the most gentle way. I love the simple movements and breathing exercises that are capable of such profound effect. My whole body smiles - inside and out - and I am grateful for this gift that Tai Chi has become in my life. Pam Sloane Enthusiastic proponent of TaiChi with Luis

Luis Duarte is a masterful teacher. He has an impressive resume and extensive knowledge of the workings of the mind and ?chi?; he is committed to his students. His smile is warm and welcoming; he is patient and non-judgemental. He gives you the space to learn and develop at your own pace. I had been seeking a way to strengthen my body and relax my mind for many years without much relief. I struggled trying to learn Tai Chi and Qi Gong from DVD?s at home, attended lackluster yoga classes and seminars. But, the very first class with Luis I felt something I?d never felt before, a recognition...something ?clicked?. I am discovering ways to manage stress, to accept challenges with courage and getting a workout too. I am so glad that I found Luis, as I feel this this ancient martial art is finally accessible. Oh, I?m having fun too! Thank you, Duarte Shifu. Kaia James Fairfield, CT Kaia James

Luis is a terrific teacher. I began Tai Chi to keep a friend company two years ago, but what kept me coming back was the skill and sensitivity Luis possesses as a teacher. He respects each student, and respects the power of Tai Chi. Lynn

I have been taking Tai Chi classes with Luis for almost two years. They have improved my health, physically and emotionally. Aches and pains are gone, I am stronger and have more energy, and am happier in my life. Tai Chi will always be part of my life. denny

I have been enjoying training with Luis for around a year and a half. It provides such fabulous stress relief and I now consider exercise to be fun! I'm in the best shape I've been in in a long time and Luis' patience and specially tailored work outs are perfect for me. I couldn't do without it. Laura Nash Happy Student

I have been training with Luis for over three years. He is an amazing teacher with deep knowlege of the martial arts which gives him great perspective for training.
