Qi Tai Chi Nelson BC

Sandra is AMAZING.I took classes because I was going through a seperation and wanted to find balance in myself to help overcome inner turmoil.I found learning the movements easy, Sandra breaks things down, a has a huge impact I think.After attending classes I found I was calm, relaxed, empowered, humbled, and in awe. I would typically sit in silent contemplation after a class because doing anything else seemed unnatural.I think anyone would benefit from the experience of attending one of Sandra’s classes.My daughter who’s 8 learned a lot just from sitting quietly during the lesson.Thanks Sandra!!!

It's not an over-exaggeration to say that Sandra's teachings of Tai Chi will help change your life for good. I took one season of Sandra's Tai Chi (once a week for 2 months) and daily the movement and lessons come into my life. I'm just getting started on my Tai Chi journey, but I know it's a practice I'm committed to continuing to learn. Sandra really takes the time and discipline to give you a strong foundation that's needed in order to continue the practice in your daily life. You feel in safe hands with Sandra's obvious life-long experience in the practice. Nelson is lucky to have her ! 1000% recommend Sandra as your teacher !

Before starting tai chi classes, I was having chronic back pain for years and nothing was helping. Sandra gave me the tools I needed to break the pain cycle. She gave me the confidence to move again, taught me how to breathe and let things go, and to trust in what my body was telling me. Although I’m pain-free now, I continue to take her classes because of the huge physical and mental-health benefits. Sandra creates a safe, non-judgmental space. She is patient, encouraging, a wealth of knowledge, and openly invites questions. I highly recommend her!

I have been taking Tai Chi, Qi Gong and a more in-depth energy experience with Sandra. The classes have been online as I do not live close by but she does have classes in person. There have been so many benefits to my physical and emotional health during this time. Learning these unique breathing techniques have improved my stress levels and ability to fall asleep at night. The movements have improved my posture, flexibility, pain levels and the ability to feel grounded and connected with my body. The in-depth program has provided me with tools to experience my emotions more fully and to release deep stressors.Sandra is a caring, knowledgeable teacher and always goes the extra mile for her students". I highly recommend anyone interested in their health and well-being to take her sessions."

A life changing experience on so many levels. Sandra has been an amazing teacher with an abundance of knowledge and life experiences. Sandra has helped me find balance with work and home life with her teachings of Qigong.

Sandra is a wonderful teacher. She helped me find meaningful ways to bring Qi Gong into my daily life. The benefits are amazing and I’m thankful for the guidance.

Sandra is an outstanding Tai Chi teacher. She explains all movements super well, shows them from different angles and leaves time for questions. A real bonus are her session recordings that enable participants to go back and review the class again, to catch more details, to have a deeper practice and quicker progress. Just doing the classes online (via live Zoom or the recordings) is a great option too (I did them in-person though). I was looking for a practice that will help me with being more present and to balance a very busy (work & family) life - I found it! Learning Tai Chi with Sandra has taught me great skills (presence, flexibility, balance) and a set of fluid movements that can be practiced everywhere and anytime - and it was fun. 5 Stars for Sandra's Tai Chi classes! Try it!

I’ve always had an interest in Asian cultures and tai chi especially appealed to me, so I was very happy to meet Sandra and start taking classes back in 2012. Learning and then deepening my knowledge of the Yang Style 108 Long Form through Sandra’s thoughtful teaching and the friendship of my fellow students has made our tai chi classes a very enjoyable part of my life over the past 11 years.Sandra’s directions and modeling are very clear and consistent and she always includes a review of the previous lesson. She pays attention to each individual and takes time to consider and respond to our questions. Her classes are always worthwhile and empowering.My physical flexibility and posture have improved tremendously over these years. Achieving a degree of accuracy and fluency with the form has given me great satisfaction in terms of lifelong learning and practice. The confidence that comes with this knowledge and ability allows me to centre or ground myself in any situation.If you are wondering about taking Tai Chi or Qi Gong classes with Sandra, I would say go ahead: a season’s classes will give you more than you imagined. You can be assured of working with a very knowledgeable and caring teacher.

QiGong classes with Sandra have been great for my body and mind during a long term rehabilitation from an injury. Sandra is informative, supportive and positive in her teaching approach. This practice is accessible for anyone and changes how you move throughout your day by bringing awareness to old habits and replacing them with newer and healthier ones.

I’ve been participating in Sandra’s Tai Chi classes for one year. Tai Chi has helped me in my journey to become more grounded, calm and confident. I find some of the words and mantras Sandra uses particularly helpful.Recently my brother died suddenly and I was unable to travel immediately to be near my family. I went outside in my yard to practice Tai Chi while I wept. During the entire practice I repeated to myself Sandra’s words “Feel the ground beneath my feet, the ground beneath my feet, the ground beneath my feet…” over and over again. It was very effective in helping me calm and deal with the situation at hand.Thank you, Sandra, for your wisdom and calming demeanor.
