Herb was very patient and informative in teaching me the basics of Tai Chi. He listened to my needs and developed a plan to help me learn the basic moves. I could not have asked for a better teacher. His credentials are impeccable. The personalized one on one instruction was superb.

I have been taking Thai Chi lessons with Herb for about 3 months for now. I started by myself and then my boyfriend joined me. We both just LOVE it! Herb is very punctual and accommodating. He takes into account individual's needs and transforms into customized sessions. Each session has also a mindfulness aspect what makes you not just learn how to physically move but also opens up a whole new dimension. Highly recommend Herb to everyone!
