Tai Chi and Qigong are great ways to restore physical, mental, and emotional vibrancy. Do not take our word, we want you to experience Tai Chi and Qigong for yourself before deciding. Come to our studio and try a class, talk to the other practitioners, look around and see what we have to offer. If after your visit you feel like Tai Chi or Qigong has nothing to offer you, all it cost was your time. There is never pressure to join.

We know your daily schedule is hectic. Things pop up and your plans have to change.

Family Discount.

When families do things together it helps to create a stronger bond and encourages greater participation. For this reason we offer a sliding scale family discount. The first person pays $35.00 per month, for a second family member the total cost is $45.00 for a third $50.00 and the fourth person is free.

Private Lessons.

Schedule permitting we try to accommodate private session requests. A private session is a one-hour session with a Tai Chi/ Qigong Master. These sessions are specially tailored to accommodate your needs and goals of Tai Chi or Qigong. Private lessons are $15.00 per hour per individual. A key point to remember is that you are paying for the Master's knowledge just as much as the studio time. You decide how many sessions and what you want out of the session. There are no contracts or sign up requirements. Some students choose private sessions to learn a particular Tai Chi movement or skill, others want to experience Qigong benefits. These private sessions can be a single individual, family, or friends.

Practice DVD or CD.

We encourage people to practice their Tai Chi and Qigong at least three times per week. Sometimes this is hard if you do not have someone to follow. For this reason we have produced several Videos on Tai Chi and Qigong. We also have Qigong Meditation CD to relax with at home. Our DVDs are $10.00 each and the Meditation CDs are $5.00. We would also be happy to mail you a DVD or CD.

Public Demonstrations.

The Tai Chi Concho Club has several people who are skilled in many forms of Tai Chi or Qigong. We are honored to show off our skills at local special events, grand openings, or meetings. Most of our advanced practitioners have full time jobs so we ask for at least two-months advanced notice of a coming event for our scheduling purposes.

Stress Management Workshop.

Qigong is an ancient solution for a modern problem. One problem facing people today is stress related disease such as high blood pressure, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic pain, and illness. Over the past decade, Qigong has been intensely studied by the Harvard School of Medicine, the National Institute of Health, and the Mayo Clinic as a way to combat the effects of stress on the human body. Each of the clinical studies has shown that Qigong can be a valuable complementary therapy to ward of stress related disease.

We offer a two-hour workshop entitled Practical Qigong Techniques for Distress. In this two hour workshop a Qigong Master will introduce participants to mindfulness techniques that they may use to discern different stress types and levels. Next participants will experience various Qigong breathing techniques that combat distress and reduce high blood pressure and anxiety. Finally the workshop concludes with a thirty minute Qigong meditation session designed to relax the mind and body.

Workshop cost $100.00 for groups of 12 to 25 people. We can offer this class at our studio as an off-site workshop or we will travel to your business location.

The Tai Chi Concho Emblem

The Tai Chi Concho emblem displays the State of Texas out line. Within in the outline are the colors red, white, and blue. The blue stands for loyalty to the United States and other Tai Chi practitioners. The white represents courage to let go of fear, anger, and worry. The red stands for bravery to do no harm and to allow no harm. Within the blue field is the Yin Yang symbol which is the Chinese concept for balance, moderation, and the natural cycle of earth. The Yin Yang sits prominently in West Texas to signify San Angelo as the gate way to West Texas. The word Concho in Tai Chi Concho means the River that flows through our beautiful city and the Concho Valley. Second the mission of Tai Chi Concho is to help create a culture of Wellness in the Concho Valley through Tai Chi and Qigong as a complimentary health modality.
