Testimonials
“I would only recommend Larry if you are looking for the most genuine, experienced and passionate Tai Chi Instructor. I can attest to have been positively and energetically blessed with Larry’s spiritually grounded gift which Is available for all those who are receptive and willing.
“I started learning taiji with Larry almost 9 years ago when I was facing changes in my life, including some health issues. Larry is a very dedicated teacher of a beautiful practice. I commend it to anyone interested in maintaining physical well being and nurturing the mind”.
I started my Tai Chi journey with Larry and couldn’t be happier he guided my first steps into it. The class feel like a safe space where people are allowed to explore and learn at their own pace, and how to integrate the principle of this art in their daily life. Plus, Larry prepares an excellent tea :)
I’ve been training with Larry for over ten years, three classes per week. Larry is a patient teacher, has a lot to offer, and does it in a fun way.
I feel incredibly lucky and privileged to have Larry as my Tai Chi Instructor. Larry brings close to 50 years of knowledge and practise to his sessions combined with his excellent teaching style. You learn and grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Highly recommend to all and thank you Larry!
The high standard and patience of our teachers coupled with the meditative quality at centennial park provides the perfect Tai Chi experience. I leave each week inspired and enriched no matter the weather.
Great to join Teacher Larry today working on my breathing techniques as well as doing one round of Zheng-shi 37-short form tai chi. Larry, thank you for having me.
I have practiced Tai-Chi at the Labyrinth in Centennial Park each Saturday morning for a long time with an amazing group of people. I value the space that Larry has created, the very special environment that we practice in. While i am still a beginner, If you need a space for ‘being’ and a wise and unswervingly patient teacher, this class is for you.”
