'“I was diagnosed with a lung disease doctors consider fatal. I wanted to do something that allowed me to take control of my own health, so I joined the Taoist Arts Center. Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Meditation help me a lot. The classes I take have improved  my breathing and greatly reduced the effects of my frequent lung collapses, they’ve become a part of every aspect of my life. The clarity and depth of Susan's teaching literally opened up whole new  worlds - primarily inside my body. The school provides a peaceful and friendly environment in which students are encouraged to work hard, yet progress at their own pace.” Catherine Chenoweth, Assistant teacher, Taoist Arts Center 1998-2001

“I found the Taoist Arts Center several years ago while looking for a school in which to study Tai Chi Chuan. Little did I know at the time how much more the Taoist Arts Center had to offer. I've now expanded my practice to include Chi Kung and Meditation, which have opened up the internal parts of Tai Chi to me. Director, Susan Rabinowitz has a great wealth of knowledge of Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Meditation that she shares with her students. This year I began taking private lessons with Susan, they have greatly enriched my knowledge, form and practice.” Virginia L.

 “I got into Tai Chi for health and as I approach my 60th birthday, I do think I'm stronger and more agile than when I started at the Taoist Arts Center two years ago. Still, I almost think of these improvements as fringe benefits. What keeps me going to Tai Chi is Tai Chi. It is just so interesting.” Carola D.

“I am very happy that I found the Taoist Arts Center. It’s perfect for me. Currently I am taking Chi Kung, Meditation, and Wu Tai Chi. I’d done many forms of martial arts before I came to the Taoist Arts Center, yet I wanted something that would teach me to be fully aware of my body and surroundings and that could cultivate my internal awareness. After  taking a just few classes from Susan I was amazed at how well you explain and guide students through difficult concepts of  the internal arts..” Oleg N.

“I  like the Taoist Arts Center for the warmth and welcome I receive upon arrival and for the serenity with which I leave. The internal arts I learn there nurture my spirit and strengthen by body (and vice versa). They have given me enhanced mental and physical energy and focus. You are dedicated and caring teachers who allow your pupils to reach their full potential.” Sheryl B.

“The only enemy I have to defend myself from is myself. Tai chi and chi gung helped me remove my physical problems and be more relaxed. I practice to enhance my physical, mental and spiritual condition.” Eric N.

I feel relaxed and alive. Attending camp was an opportunity to get back to nature and grow as a human being.” Max Q,

“ I'‘d like to share my insights into the benefits of Chi Kung and Tai Chi as taught by Susan Rabinowitz. I am a 39 year old actor playing an 80 year old character in the Broadway Musical, Jekyll & Hyde (3/98). This type of physical characterization is very stressful to my body,  performing this role 8 times a week. Since my introduction to Chi Kung and Wu Style Tai Chi I have found my energy, stamina and general health to have improved dramatically.I have traveled extensively in Asia and have experienced many types of internal and external arts. Susan's approach not only integrates these experiences but adds a core foundation of understanding to them. I recommend Susan's Chi Kung and Tai Chi classes to anyone who wishes to improve their health and broaden their understanding of the world we live in." Geoffrey B.

'At my age of 82 it is good to have a workout that is not too strenuous. Meeting new folks expanded my geographic knowledge of America. I really enjoyed Tai Chi.' Evelyn H
