Class of May, 2005
For "Graduation" photos - click here A few Group comments "I don't know how you did it, but I learned more in 3 days with you than in years of my regular classes! Thank you so much." "... a vacation I will never forget." "Your workshop was very enjoyable and inspiring!" "I can't remember the last time I had so much fun at a seminar!! I truly did not want it to end!! What a great group - when I look back I can only smile. I really feel like I made some new friends!!"
"You are by
far the best tai chi teacher I have ever had. I am very motivated to
start up I have been reflecting on our previous seminar and digesting all the information that was presented. I really enjoyed the time we spent practicing and discussing the different aspects of tai chi and martial arts. The seminar was both instructional and enlightening." "During that
relaxing time (after the seminar) I had the chance to allow the experience
of the workshop to sink in ... studying Easy Tai Chi and 4 Minute fitness
together in a team where "Thank you for the wonderful three days, my wife and I truly enjoyed everything. I would say that there is instruction for everyone no matter what your level of expertise, martial artist or non martial artist." "Evelyn was skeptical about Easy Tai Chi compared to the Yang style she had practiced previously for 8 years, but now is a true believer in Easy Tai Chi. Ev said she learned more at the seminar than she has in the past few years. Dr. Jeffery - we are true believers in what you are doing and would encourage any one that wishes to advance their physical and mental well being to attend one of your future work shops. We had thirteen participants at our recent work seminar, but it was more like family. We are definitely looking forward to attending future seminars." "I loved the didgeridoo - what a wonderful addition to my tai chi experience! The music in the background was very grounding, and when you played over us as we were meditating - an unbelievable experience! One of the best phrases I took away from the seminar was 'Don't believe what you think'. As much as we think we are doing the move correctly, there is nothing like the one-on-one teaching. The video critiques was invaluable, both for my own form and by watching others work through theirs, under your direction. I will be back next year." "Please allow
me to tell you what an awesome time I had at the seminar. I had an
opportunity to meet one of the finest groups of people I've ever met in my
life. Each day was an adventure. I learned so much that I was
overwhelmed.
