Boulder Community Tai Chi Chuan is the perfect place to begin or continue your study of the…read morebeautiful art of Tai Chi. Derived from centuries-old Chinese martial arts, the modern form of Tai Chi as taught here has been distilled to a neatly choreographed routine of 37 postures linked by elegant, fluid movements which are gentle enough to allow practice by all; my class ranged in ages from 20's to 80's. Benefits include improved balance, strength, flexibility, and a sense of calm. Owner and instructor Jon Lears has developed a nuanced teaching style that is efficient, rigorous and disciplined while maintaining a light touch of friendliness, humor, and humility. His love for the art is infectious and his mastery obvious. The classes proceed methodically, with sufficient review and repetition, and no one is left behind; questions are patiently answered with precise demonstration. I originally tried to learn Tai Chi from random YouTube videos; only after study with Mr. Lears (who is often superbly assisted by his wife Amy) did I understand how out of context most videos are presented and how ultimately unhelpful they were. There is no substitute for learning in person. Boulder Community Tai Chi Chuan has very reasonably-priced classes for all levels in a large, clean, bright space in a part of Boulder with easy access and parking. My highest recommendation.

This hidden gem is an excellent place to get a tailored workout. From pilates, yoga and even aerial…read moreyoga. All of the instructors are great at what they do and incredibly sweet and helpful. No "shaming" here. Even the students are nice and would rather encourage each other over turning their gains into a competition. I do hope there is enough interest to bring back paddleboard yoga this summer! **full disclosure, I am now also an instructor here, however I was a student at PiYoCo long before getting my certification. This place solidified my passion and its great to come back "home".

I started with The Pilates Yoga Compay in January, after moving to Colorado. I'd had probably 8…read moreyears of private instruction in San Francisco previously. I didn't think it could get any better. But it has! Both Maila and John are classically-trained Pilates instructors. Each has their own approach to teaching, and I appreciate and enjoy both! Maila is like being in a river, one exercise flowing seamlessly into the other. John has a more studied approach, considering each movement before moving to the next. Classes are small and both instructors are great at providing individual attention and support. Pilates builds strength and improves balance and posture. Not to mention how good one feels, both physically and mentally, when the class is over!

Sensie jennette takes the time with each student to get them to there goals of physical and mental aspects of martials arts. Its an amazing environment that keeps you coming back to every class you can, without the ground and pound mentality you find at other places. Its a very light inviting environment that i wish more studios had.

I searched in and around Denver to find a good Kung Fu School, and I have to say this is by far the…read morebest. I found that the other schools were very focused on profit (aka... buy our unique clothes/shoes which are very high compared to what you find online and lots of pressure to sign a one year contract), didn't have a safe/decent training facility, or weren't really Kung Fu schools. The Sifu at this school charges month-to-month and charges significantly less than other programs. Don't believe me? Check the numbers here and other places. He is also interested in teaching the art and philosophies of Kung Fu. Not teaching you how to beat people up. I actually had a school tell me I would be able to pummel people in a couple months. This isn't what Kung Fu is about. I studied here for a year before being relocated to another state and I have to say it is one of the things I miss most about Colorado.

I can safely say Boulder Kung Fu Academy changed my life. I began training because I did not know…read morehow to channel my anger and frustration, suffered from depression and anxiety, and needed a physical outlet to move my body. Admittedly I also have always been a fan of those cheesy old kung fu movies. In the end, I did not know this would be a life-changing experience. I have moved through many physical challenges, joint issues, and etc through my 8 years of kung fu, qigong and tai chi training. I highly recommend Sifu Wang as a teacher. He is compassionate, knows how to meet his students where they are at, and is a great guide and motivator, seeming to know exactly where your limitations are and how to help you understand your own body, when to push and when to rest. As a side benefit, I am comfortable in a bikini. I am grateful to have an unexpected extended family of brothers and sisters who come from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences and yet we all are in this life and practice together. I am a calmer, more balanced and centered person and I attribute much of this to my martial arts practice at Boulder Kung Fu.

Sifu Dill takes the time to get to know each of the students and understand what they are looking for and what they need! Students are able to work within their skills and abilities yet are challenged to always improve! I started with the intent to just get a good workout - and was not disappointed! But I found so much more - confidence, balance and a second family! I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this school and this family!

She was in karate and the distinction between the new belt color/lvl were hand In hand with and price tag. This isn't that kind of place. They place value on the history of what they teach. They hold the students (all ages) to the same standard. This place has and will continue to mold my daughter and teach her to be her true authentic self.
