If you want Tai Chi for health, this is the place for you. If you want to learn the martial aspects of the art, this place is for you. Don't skip over this school. It's a different approach to Tai Chi that you will not see every where and is in fact rare.

I chose New Jersey Tai Chi through a regional magazine, and I was delighted with its holistic approach to fitness, martial arts, and mind/body wellness. And my experience there did not disappoint. In the short time that I have been practicing with Harry, Paul, and others, I am learning not just the movements and breathing, but also leveraging the strength of my entire body. In addition to the physical movements, I am also learning to focus with my mind on the flow of energy and listening through Push Hands with my mind's eye. In every class, Harry demonstrates the application of those elegant moves into practical and powerful self-defense tactics. It's still too early to tell the full health benefits yet, but I feel more flexible, more at ease with my mind and body, and TaiChi is now a part of my exercise routine.

When I asked this guy about what he was doing he explained to me that he had been doing Tai Chi for many years and it helped with various body aches and his over health and well being. It was then I decided that this might be good for me and looked up classes in my area. I came across Lisa Russell Healing Arts and decided to enroll in her Tai Chi class. The class is offered in a room at the Pearl River United Methodist Church and is one hour in length. Lisa is a wonderful instructor with a calming presence and encourages each student to work at their own pace. Lisa explains the philosophy behind Tai Chi and how it will benefit each individual. Today (6/17) was my first class and it will definitely not be my last. There were 10 students in today's class which were apparently the same age as me. Some first timers and the rest more experienced. Today's class is every Monday at 9:30am but there are others on different weekdays at other locations and at other times. Low impact and high reward. Makes sense to me!

It was always my plan to study tai chi when I became too old to effectively practice karate or aikido. When that day arrived, I began to visit and practice at various tai chi studios. Sadly, there are too many poorly trained instructors teaching tai chi and a few who have little patience or ability to teach the art to older persons. Happily, I found Master Gang and plan to remain his student indefinitely. He is classically trained with a deep understanding of the art of tai chi. His teaching method is detailed and precise but he is most accommodating to the physical challenges older students can pose. Indeed, he takes particular delight in helping a student deal with an infirmity. This is a rare quality found in only the best teachers. Even with my decades of studying martial arts, he frequently blows my mind with something new I had never even considered. I am learning so much from him! I try not to be one of those students who is always challenging the reason why something is done a certain way as opposed to what I was taught in another art. But when I do ask a question, he always is pleased to explain the purpose of a movement. His positive mindset is infectious. You can't go wrong choosing Master Gang as your instructor.

It's rare to find a teacher who is so dedicated, kind, and knowledgeable about the many benefits of Tai Chi, but Dr. Huang is also patient in helping us improve our practice at our own pace.

There are seagulls and other birds that hang around, but they won't bother you, even if you're eating. They will eat food that's left unattended and out in the open. Police rovers patrol the beach so I think rowdiness is discouraged. One party next to us was playing music on a speaker, but otherwise it was fairly quiet, except for the crashing waves of course. Lots of free nearby parking, but I imagine it fills up quickly on busy days.

Also a playground in the back (not affiliated with the pool). There are always many life guards on duty every time I've gone. The pool is accessible only to Clarkstown residents and their guests, so if you're not a resident befriend someone who is. You must obtain a Clarkstown resident ID card first at the registration office at 31 Zukor Road in New City. (The pool won't simply accept a driver's license.)

Yoga benefits blood pressure and cholesterol. Wow, you really can do something today to feel better physically and emotionally. I have been doing yoga with the exceptional group at BR Holistic Yoga for 5 years and I feel younger and healthier than ever. Now I am volunteering my time on Saturday mornings to share the Yoga training principles of breathing, stretching and meditation with my townhouse neighbors, as well as teaching classes at my workplace. The Yoga system has helped my class of 20 students lower their cholesterol scores, lower their blood pressure, become more flexible and have a much more positive attitude. I have seen the positive results over and over again. I highly recommend that you reach out to Br Holistic Yoga to start on your path of health, happiness and peace, today! read more

They have a variety of classes for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, and at every class I go to they offer modifications or add-ons to poses so that you can really adjust to what your body needs that day. The studio is incredibly clean and beautifully maintained. Walking into the studio puts me at ease immediately. There are also zero judgments at Blackbird. At other studios I felt judged if I couldn't go into a headstand or some other inversion, and there is none of that at Blackbird. It is an encouraging environment, which is so perfect for yoga. The studio also offers workshops outside of the regular classes if you want to delve into your practice a little deeper. Another thing I noticed is how at every class, even if it is the same type of class, it is never exactly the same. There is always variety. I've been practicing yoga for two years now and in the few months that I started at Blackbird I saw a noticeable improvement in my practice. There are poses that I thought I would never be able to do or hold for more than a breath that I now do with ease. It's really amazing. Another great thing about Blackbird, especially for NYC commuters like myself, is that they have evening classes! I'm able to go to work, get home and not have to rush like a crazy person to get to class on time. It's rad. For everything that Blackbird offers, the price is amazing too. Before coming to Blackbird I was hopping around at different studios, trying to find the best fit for me. I had been trying for two years to find a 'home studio'. I knew two minutes into my first class at Blackbird that I found that studio. The classes satisfy both the physical and mental aspects of yoga, the community of staff and other practitioners are some of the nicest people you will meet, and membership doesn't break the bank. What more could you ask for?
