Testimonials
Gregg (Jan 2022)
I was diagnosed with Covid in October of 2021 and quarantined for 21 days during the healing process. Due to complications, I was unable to do my normal resistance and cardio workout routines and was searching for a physical routine that I could do while standing, that would also include a breathing component as well. It was during this time that I was blessed, and really lucky, to discover Leia Cohen's Tai Chi series on my YouTube feed.
I was immediately drawn to Leia's teaching style, her easy-to-follow movements, her explanations giving deeper context to the practices, her patient manner, her voice, and the fact that she broke the routines down into smaller time frames that matched my energy level at the time. Leia's programs gave me something to look forward to two times a day, each morning and afternoon, and provided structure to my days of bedrest. Throughout my entire quarantine, Leia's Tai Chi helped keep my body, my energy and my breath moving in a healthy way. I am now fully recovered from my Covid experience with no lasting effects. I attribute a large part of my physical, mental and emotional healing to Leia's awesome instruction and have continued my practice everyday since. Thank you Leia for being a part of my healing journey, and for making such a powerful practice available to so many people.
Warmly, with deep gratitude,

After doing Modules 1 - 5 daily on YouTube for the last 2 years I finally enrolled in Silver. Looking forward to expanding my routine. Leia's Tai Chi sessions have been so good I no longer cruise YouTube for other Tai Chi Masters.

Today is my 500th session of tai chi!!! It took me two years to reach this milestone, but I did it and will continue to do so...
My recent MRI is showing that my brain cancer/tumor has remained stable for almost a year. As you know, I credit consistent Tai Chi for helping me recover balance, coordination, strength, as well as my speech. Thank you!

I am progressing through the modules and i am enjoying them. The modules have already helped with flexibility, weight control and overall well being.
I look forward to continuing my Tai Chi journey.
Michael (Sept 2020)
Here in Vermont, we follow the videos everyday and love it. My wife and I are about 70 and this is something I have wanted to do all my life - finally! My mother was born in Hong Kong, so I grew up hearing stories of China, and it left me with an ingrained love and respect for the culture. We love your work and feel we have found the perfect teacher.
