  2. Harmony. Using your understanding your own internal balance of yin and yang to gracefully blend your energy with your surroundings and the other people you encounter. 
    ​
  3. Strength. When there is no need to struggle,  you can use the skills you have gained to move with confidence and power through any terrain. 

T'ai Chi is more than a healthy lifestyle or martial program.  It is a vibrant system of movement that acts as metaphor for life with the following three touchstones.

 “The philosophies and discipline that ground our training are also the underpinnings of our everyday lives. Whether we are musicians, scientists, waiters, CEOs, or accountants, the fundamentals of relationships and the search for a balanced life are universal.  Finding a balanced life requires effort and conscious decisions.  We need to know how and when to go with flow, what it means to ground ourselves, and how to store and spend our energy with efficiency and grace. T’ai Chi helps us develop the skills and knowledge to enhance our lives.” -- Sara Gellhorn
