I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sifu Elodie. Since taking Tai Chi classes with her, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my posture, balance, and overall body awareness. I carry myself differently and feel much more aligned and confident throughout the day.

She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. She takes the time to ensure everyone understands the movements and creates such a positive, welcoming environment.

What I appreciate most is that her classes go beyond physical movement. I leave each session feeling calmer, more centered, and less stressed. The improvement in my posture has been life-changing, and the mental and emotional benefits have been just as valuable.

Tai Chi has taught my ADHD mind to slow down and stay in the moment. It helps relieve my daily stress, and Elodie’s consistent, nonjudgmental teaching style has helped me stop lifting my shoulders, walk more efficiently, and be less hard on myself. She explains how to do things my trainer simply told me to do.

The slow, gentle movements are teaching me how to shift my weight properly, and I’ve noticed greater balance, stability, and strength in my hip joints.

I initially started Tai Chi classes to improve my energy. After just a few months of training with Elodie, my everyday life became easier. I have much more energy and feel incredibly strong and capable.

I’ve noticed that it takes less energy to do the same workouts at the gym. I require fewer naps during the day and can complete my gym workout in half the time.

I started taking Tai Chi with Elodie because of an injured foot and very poor balance. Although I had taken Tai Chi years ago with other teachers, it had not helped.

After learning Elodie’s professional methods, I can walk with confidence now that my balance is better, and I have my energy and strength back.

My experience with Elodie has been life-altering. I immediately felt relief from my sciatica. I transformed my posture from an anterior pelvic tilt to stacking my posture efficiently and releasing tightness, tension, and pain through the movements she taught me. I now feel controlled alignment.

Elodie’s method taught me to be fully present. She works with you step by step. If I don’t get a position right, she helps identify where I feel pain or discomfort and guides me in making a correction.

As a wonderful bonus, my daughter and I are connecting more by doing Tai Chi together on Zoom all the way from Connecticut.

I had taken Tai Chi classes at my local YMCA and watched videos, admiring how people moved powerfully in an almost meditative state. When my friend and I began taking classes with Elodie, she changed the traditional way we viewed Tai Chi.

Through focused and intentional instruction, she guided us to strengthen and re-educate the way we hold and move our bodies. She taught aligned posture, rhythmic breathing, natural cadence, and how to free our limbs from years of moving on autopilot.

I started walking and standing differently through her instruction on hip shifting and pelvic rotation. Most importantly, she taught us to generate a powerful stance—physically and mentally—by taking ownership of our bodies. I recommend her to anyone seeking another approach to movement, balance, and healing.

In the 15 years I’ve practiced Tai Chi in the company of Elodie Hara, my knees have grown vastly stronger and more flexible. Squatting and deep knee-bend positions I couldn’t come close to doing before now come easily.

Yes to Tai Chi for joint strength and flexibility—but a person needs a good teacher. Elodie Hara is a great one.

Elodie’s Tai Chi and Kung Fu instruction has been transformative for both my body and overall well-being. When I began training with her, I struggled with tight hip flexors and hamstrings, uneven hips, poor glute activation, and chronic tension that affected my sleep.

Through her emphasis on balance, stability, body control, and joint mobility—especially learning to move through my bones—I developed better movement patterns, improved alignment, and stronger glute activation. My body feels more coordinated, efficient, and resilient, with far less discomfort.

An unexpected benefit has been significantly improved sleep, along with greater mental focus and energy throughout the day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve mobility, balance, strength, coordination, mental focus, and long-term physical health while learning along the way.
