Still Mountain Tai Chi & Qigong

A shared path of movement, discovery, and steady transformation

At Still Mountain, I teach as I practice: as a student first, continually learning, refining, and rediscovering. My work blends the depth of Taijiquan and Qigong with my background as an exercise physiologist and gerontologist, creating a space where tradition and evidence‑based understanding support one another.

The story behind the Dao symbol (道) guides everything I do. We are all travelers on a long road, gathering treasures from:

• Heaven (tian) — clarity, perspective, spaciousness

• Earth (di) — grounding, steadiness, embodied wisdom

• Humanity (ren) — connection, compassion, shared learning

We pick these treasures up, use them, and give them away again. Teachers walk the same road as their students—just a few steps ahead—offering what they’ve learned along the way.

Still Mountain is a community of learners walking the same road—each of us carrying our own treasures, each of us discovering what it means to move with clarity, steadiness, and ease.
