“For decades I have been aware of Tai Chi, walking by a group thinking how boring that activity looked. Then, I actually tried it with my neighbor Dorian, and fell in love with it immediately! He explains every action so clearly and with great descriptions of its purpose. I’ve learned so much so quickly and it’s helping me in so many ways. As a bonus, after having hip replacement, it’s perfect for gaining additional balance I need so desperately. For mind, body, and spirit healing I would recommend Dorian to everyone! He makes it fun as well 👍🏻 God bless!"

Dorian is the most attentive instructor I know. He is always at my session on time and with great insights! I really enjoy his calmness and dedication to tai chi. I am always so revived and informed by the end of our sessions together. I enjoy how he takes his time to explain why tai chi is the way that it is, and why it is done a certain way. I highly recommend him to all my friends! You are an awesome instructor!

My good friend Dorian offered me a tai chi lesson one afternoon as I had been in the final stages repairing Dorian’s decking in the backyard. Feeling possibly over worked from the deck repair that day , a tai chi lesson seemed like a great idea. We walked down the street a short distance and crossed into an orchard and found a shady spot . It was a perfect place for a tai chi lesson. After about 30 minutes the lesson was over, leaving me invigorated, which immediately made me wonder how a client of mine would take to tai chi lessons? I’m one of his caregivers. He’s fairly handicapped with disabilities that limit his ability to walk, and is using walkers for his mobility, which was hard earned from the wheelchair he used to use. I asked Dorian about his possible interest in working with my client. Dorian said yes right away. Having never met him there needed to be an introduction to tai chi to see if he would like to go ahead with lessons. That was 2 1/2 years ago. With lessons 2 times a week for awhile and now one lesson a week, my client was very happy with taking a new way of movement that over time, I began to notice that he was more capable of walking to a significant degree. Also an unexpected side effect of his dedication to his lessons is that his inability to talk had increased noticeably to those who hadn’t seen him for months , and without any knowledge of the tai chi lessons, people honestly said that they noticed a significant improvement in his cognitive abilities and physical ability. These observations were within the first year and a half, so with another year under his belt his improvement is still going strong. Being in a state of inability to this degree is extremely difficult and through his tai chi lessons he has gained a new perspective and tai chi is always the subject that gives him the hope and experience that he can and will walk without any kind of physical assistance from a walker , while gaining the cognitive ability increasing , he’s bound to a path that absolutely show’s results that tai chi actually will become a way of life. And having Dorian as his teacher is the key ingredient. Their experience is exactly what the doctor ordered. Dorian’s influence on my client’s health is remarkable, but not only through the lesson itself but Dorian has an innate understanding of what the tai chi master in him chooses to teach, aligning with the individual’s needs.
