I'd been training as a rapier fighter for 22 years, and had long wanted to pick up taijiquan as cross-training. I found Toni and the rest is history. Working with her has given me pricelessly deep insights into how my body works and how bodies work in general. My relationship with my body has improved, my strength and posture and daily movement have improved. My experience of the energies of the body and mind are so vivid when doing this work. Even if I was starting from square one with my body awareness, her insights would be invaluable. She has great metaphors and will just keep trying new and different ones with you until something clicks. And once it starts to click, taiji feels SO GOOD. Toni is a dedicated and skilled teacher. If you've been curious about taijiquan - - whether you've been doing other physical sports or movement practices for years, or feel like you hardly know your body and it seems like something good and gentle to experiment with--try out Toni. She's the best.
