Personal Training with Susan Rabinowitz
Your interests. Your pace. Personal guidance.
Discover Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Meditation with an experienced teacher’s full attention. Whether you’re starting something new or deepening a longtime practice, private lessons give you room to ask questions, explore what interests you, and learn at a pace that feels right.
One-on-one lessons in New York’s East Village or online via Zoom. Beginners welcome.
Perhaps you’d like to move with greater ease, feel more grounded, or make time for a quieter mind. You may be curious about the internal arts but unsure where to begin.
Personal training gives you a place to start—and guidance as your understanding grows. Focus on one practice or explore how Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Meditation support one another.
Tai Chi: Find strength and ease in movement
Wu Style Tai Chi uses small, relaxed movements to develop flexibility, strength, and balance while encouraging a calm mind. Begin with the fundamentals or deepen your understanding of a form you already know.
Individual instruction lets you look more closely at alignment, rooted stances, coordination, and the internal qualities that bring the movements to life.
Chi Kung: Cultivate energy and release tension
Chi Kung, also called Qigong, combines movement, posture, breathing, and awareness to cultivate chi—your life energy. Rooted in Chinese tradition, these practices emphasize the smooth flow of chi as a foundation for well-being.
Explore exercises that develop balance, encourage comfortable movement, and help you feel more grounded, relaxed, and energized.
Meditation: Settle into a deeper awareness
Taoist Water Method Meditation offers a gentle approach to releasing tension and developing inner awareness. Moving from the physical toward the emotional and spiritual, these practices encourage balance and allow your understanding to unfold at its own pace.
Personal guidance gives you space to explore the practice, discuss your experience, and bring its principles into daily life.
The time and attention to make it your own
In a private lesson, your questions help shape the teaching. You can pause, revisit something that isn’t clear, or spend more time with a movement or meditation that interests you.
Together with Susan, you can:
Build a foundation with clear, individual guidance.
Receive specific feedback on your practice.
Explore details that can be difficult to grasp on your own.
Develop a practice that fits into everyday life.
Private lessons work well on their own or alongside group classes. You don’t need previous experience to begin.
