The 2007 China adventure was my introduction to the history and vision of the Yang Family. In 2014, I attended the International Symposium in Kentucky. This experience deepened my understanding of and appreciation for the extensive study of this martial art. Over the years, seminars conducted by the Grandmaster and other Instructors reinforced the need and desire to continually improve my practice. With gratitude to all my teachers, I achieved the Gold Eagle rank. Their passion has inspired me to share what I have learned with others. Teaching is most rewarding when students realize the benefits and beauty of tai chi. Locally and globally, the tai chi community enriches my life.
