The Tree of Life Tai Chi Center was established in 1985 to build bridges between Eastern and Western approaches to health, well-being, and personal development. Our curriculum is centered around Tai Chi Chuan, qigong, meditation, and related healing and martial arts--practices that strengthen and revitalize the body, nourish the heart, and focus the mind. All Tree of Life courses are led by experienced and traditionally trained instructors, many of whom are actively involved in Tai Chi medical research.

Our program is open to everyone and includes ongoing group classes, workshops, and private instruction. Whether you are interested in learning methods for working with stress and health, seeking martial arts training, or interested in personal exploration and growth, our rich curriculum can help you attain your goals.

Tree of Life Tai Chi Students Observe:

"As an acupuncturist and student of East Asian medicine I have long understood the theory of Mind Body Spirit Medicine. Studying and practicing Tai Chi Chuan' at TOL has helped me embody that theory."
- RG, Acupuncturist, 4-year practitioner

"Over the years I've found that studying Tai Chi is a subtle and profound way to learn about myself and how I relate to the world. During the busy week it's such a relief to go somewhere where I'm encouraged to give my mind a rest, to give myself permission simply to feel and not to think."
- LC, Bookbinder, 8-year practitioner

"I value Peter's connection to the scientific research community and the studies showing benefits to major health issues such as chronic heart failure and balance disorders. I have witnessed people with chronic injuries and health issues improve mobility, balance, and quality of life. Energies and bodies soften as they strengthen, people's flexibility and humor emerge. As students become more skilled and self-confident, they seem to connect with a more peaceful, humane side of life."
- JM, TOL Instructor and TC practitioner of 10+ years
