🌟 Transformative Tai Chi Experience in Beijing 🌟 - We had the privilege of joining a private Tai Chi session during our stay in Beijing — and it was far more than just a physical activity. Guided by an incredibly skilled and insightful master, the class gently unfolded into a lesson in movement, mindfulness, and ancient wisdom.
Our teacher’s calm presence, graceful demonstration, and thoughtful guidance allowed us to connect not only with our bodies, but also with the deeper philosophy behind each gesture. He shared profound insights that touched us on an emotional level — reminding us to seek balance, flow with life, and find stillness amidst chaos.
It wasn’t just a class. It was a moment of grounding, a rare pause in a fast-paced journey. We walked away with much more than we came for — inner calm, a greater appreciation for Chinese culture, and a sense of serenity we’ll carry with us for a long time.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing who’s open to something authentic, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. 🙏🕊️

Unique experience even for beginners - I sent Eric an e-mail to book a beginner level Tai Chi class and he was very responsive. We had a very nice 1 hour experience in the garden of the Temple of Heaven during which we learnt 15 basic beginner moves, thé correct posture and also the philosophy of Tai Chi. Eric inspired us both with the exercises and his detailed explanations, to continue Tai chi classes when we will be back home. Unique experience in the capital of Tai Chi’s home country.

It’s a great pleasure with Eric! - The private lesson with the master Taichi Eric was a great experience. He is a very polite person, speaks very well English and have a impressive knowledge on Taichi.
Start learning Taichi with him was great pleasure. He gave me some very good advices and makes me curious to learn more Taichi what I already did.
So I can fully recommend him to sneak in Taichi or even to learn it seriously.

Relaxing experience - Relaxing experience with interesting information about Dao way of thinking.
In this class you will learn how to be a soft cloud that is very strong inside.
With relaxing music at the beckground, the guide showed us the moves of Thai chi while also explained the meaning of them.
You'll end this class fully relaxed for sure😀 highly recommend!
Very easy to book (even though thai chi is practised at the morning, you can book this class for 2 pm)The class is at the temple of heaven which is very easy to find near the metro station.
After the class you can go to the temple itself or enjoy the big park around.
P.s
Also the guide took a pictures of us where we were practicing our moves. So we have all the moves documented 😀

Tai chi in the park - Eric waited for us near the Entrance to the park of temple of heaven. It took us 10 minutes to get there by metro and the metro was a few meters from the entrance. When we got in Eric led us to a beautiful and tranquil parkm the atmoaphere was ver relaxing. We chose a plqce in the shade of the trees. Eric explained what tai chi is, what chi is and how Dao and Chinese culture is entangled with it. Then he showed us the moves. He was very paitentm and attentive, making sire each of us do it the right way. We learnet the very basic movments, posture and ideas and done a routine of movments together.

Tai Chi Private Lesson - The tai-chi lesson with Master Lu was an amazing experience and very relaxing. Lu is an excellent tutor and master, and a very nice man. I truly enjoyed the whole tai-chi experience.
I did the lesson on 1st of May which is a national holiday. He kindly arranged a convenient location next to my hotel.
It was one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed it! - I brought my cousin to get a Tai Chi class with Eric for her bachelorette party! It has been very nice and Eric is very kind and helpful and you can arrange your meeting in several places around Beijing. If you do it in the Temple of Heaven, you have to pay for the admission to the park, but it's cheap! Eric also sent us some link to useful video to continue to train our practice!
