What people are saying about Birthing Life T'ai-Chi
Welcome
to Birthing Life T’ai-Chi! In the following few pages we will introduce you to the unique adventure in self-discovery that awaits you at our
beautiful centers in both Minneapolis and St Paul. In Minneapolis, our practice
center is situated on the water and in the woods between Lake of the Isles and
Cedar Lake. In St. Paul, we practice in the peaceful Twin Cities Friends Meeting room with a high ceiling and spacious hardwood floor. Our master teacher,
Robert Larsen, has been teaching for thirty-five years and we have been in the Twin Cities since 1978. We teach the Yang family short form as
taught to Robert by Cheng Man Ching.
The approach we take to T’ai-Chi is expressed in our name, “Birthing Life T’ai-Chi”. In his thirty-five years with the art of teaching T’ai-Chi, Robert has woven his experience with spiritual teachers across the globe and as a psychotherapist in private practice into a process-oriented approach that greatly enhances the experience of the learner. His study of other martial arts, including fifteen years study of Aikido, assures that the martial aspects of the teaching are effective. The classes are taught by Robert and senior teachers.
Our guiding principal is to bring more beauty to one’s experience of being alive. This can be seen in the emphasis we place on the beauty of our
practice space, but more importantly, in the beauty of our approach to the study of T’ai-Chi. To truly experience being alive one must feel a part of life's beauty, an insider.
