About Linda Henderson

I was introduced to the art form of T’ai Chi Ch’uan while hiking with a friend in the mountains above Taipei, Taiwan. We came upon a meadow and my friend said, “Would you like to see me perform T’ai Chi? It was a sunny, warm day and the beauty of the mountains was the perfect back-drop for what became an integral part of my life. As she moved from posture to posture I fell in love with the slow, flowing choreographed movements. I returned to my home in Ventura, CA where I was living at the time, and found a teacher. Ever since, T’ai Chi has been a nurturing and sustaining part of my life. I cannot imagine a day without T’ai Chi.

When I moved to Bellingham a few years ago, I opened my studio with the desire to share T’ai Chi and all of its benefits with others as well as my passion for this graceful and beneficial art form. I have been a teacher my entire life in all of my endeavors, so teaching T’ai Chi was very natural.

I am a member and Certified Level II T’ai Chi and Qigong Instructor with the American T’ai Chi and Qigong Association. With my training, experience and passion for T’ai Chi, I strive to  create  a learning experience and environment that is fun, encouraging, supportive and true to the form of Yang style Tung Family.

“Fundamental to tai chi is a spirit of peaceful coexistence — the belief that in you, there is a piece of me, and in me a piece of you.”
