What folks are saying about Patti

Positivity and Mind/body Awareness

As a retired nurse, I feel it’s even more important to focus on keeping healthy. I have always been committed to lots of exercise. But, that wasn’t enough. Over a decade ago I started doing yoga. And it is helpful. But, I like trying new things. So, I tried Tai Chi, even though I really didn’t think it would add value. I was very wrong. Going forward I will always make Tai Chi part of my routine. It helps me focus on positivity, mind/body awareness, balance, relaxation, centeredness, and and a connection to nature and my spirituality.

One of the things I don’t do well is slow down. But Tai Chi helps me do this while I am moving my body. And Patti Craig is the best instructor!! If you want to take a risk and try a Tai Chi class, you need to go to her class!

I have been practicing Tai Chi/Qigong with Patti for several months now, and have seen a tremendous difference in both my physical, and mental well-being. Her expertise and guidance have helped me improve my balance, flexibility, and focus.

My balance as improved by doing the slow, controlled movements. Additionally, Tai Chi promotes body awareness, and mindfulness, which can further support better balance and coordination.

I highly recommend Patti’s class to anyone looking to reap the benefits of a Tai Chi and Qigong practice.
