TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been practicing daily mindful meditation for over a year now and I still have times I struggle with quieting my mind. Yet, in the Qigong Tai Chi session with Darlene I consistently reach quiet and peace very quickly and maintain that feeling throughout the session. Darlene leads and talks me through the movements in a way that is very easy to follow. She has a great spirit and the more I practice with her the more at ease I feel. It is a beautiful way to relax, yet move my body gently and feel connected and grounded.”
