Good Vibes
...But you don't have to take our word for it!
"I was attracted to Tai Chi because of the low-impact, high-intensity workout. I've stayed with it for nearly 6 years because of the ongoing benefits to my physical health."

"I just want you to know how much I have enjoyed learning Tai Chi from you and what a good thing it has been for me. Since starting the training last October, I have increased my balance and coordination, loosened and stretched my muscles, learned more about how to relax and concentrate, and best of all, I have lost 30 pounds. Thanks for helping make me more healthy and vigorous. I look forward to continuing my training."

The moment I read that Tai Chi was being offered at our health club, I signed up because I had heard over and over again about its many health benefits. I was pleasantly surprised when I first met Sifu Eileen because I had been expecting to find an older person because of the many years she had been teaching Tai Chi. I was greatly impressed by her enthusiasm, patience, kindness, wisdom and amazing hugs. I became a regular class member and in May, 2006 when I had surgery and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I knew instinctively that getting back to the classes would help me to regain my health. Doing the Tai Chi movements seemed to pull me away from the horrors of my illness into a place of wellness that resided deep in my mind, body and soul. I would start the form and I would be transformed into a state of grace that flowed from moment to moment. Nothing mattered except that moment and it consumed, filled and uplifted me. Sifu Eileen talked often about tapping into the chi which is the energy that sustains life and when I felt the chi flow through my body, I felt an astonishing shift in my energy and I became more relaxed, rejuvenated and connected to myself. It helped me to move beyond my illness and into a place of health and well-being. Many people believe that after chemo ends you’re done with what you need to do but I firmly believe that it’s just the beginning. The internal healing arts of Tai Chi, Hsing I, Bagua, yoga, and other practices as well as breathing the pure air helped my body to function at a optimum level that I had not felt since I started dealing with all my health issues. I believe that Tai Chi is the miracle that is helping me regain my health and vitality. I feel so much gratitude towards Tai Chi, Sifu Eileen and her vision.

My Daughter has truely grown up before your eyes. She has gracefully eased into martial arts. Her ability to follow instruction and body movement has impressed me. I have also noticed strengths in flexibility. She comes home and practices. She loves to go to class and see her friends. Martial arts have given my daughter focus and dedication to become better.

Chandra has blossomed! She is more keen and aware of her energy than ever before! Kung Fu has made a mark on her being. She has amazing energy and is directing it in beautiful ways. She has increased her respect to others authentically and her level of commitment to both Kung Fu and school had deepened. So much to say about how she has benefited... We are very thankful for Eileen and the Body Balance crew.

I believe Kung Fu is reinforcing and confirming what Miah already believes. She is a "peaceful warrior" in training and I believe that Body Balance is a great match for her.
