5.00This was a wonderful experience for both the Tai Chi and Tea tasting/ceremony. Both were very informative, Eric was amazing and very humble and took us around after the class for the tea corner. Alice was very very sweet! The teas we tasted were on another level, and she provided us with some history behind them. We told Alice we had another appointment after and she wrapped up on time and even guided us to the next street. We went back to her again and she was so welcoming!

5.00This Tai chi class was an amazing experience! The teacher Eric was an excellent instructor, he was very kind and patient, he checked my experience level and organized the lesson based on it. I am a beginner and he explained the basic forms with details and extra focus on the philosophy behind the practice, it was very inspiring. Having this class before visiting the Temple of Heaven was a very good idea because it helped to create the right mindset for the beautiful and peaceful views.

5.00Tai Chi is such a beautiful way to learn about heath and our self’s. It was great to start the morning with Eric’s class, practicing presence (mind, eyes and body). It is relaxing and fun in the same time. Eric is a great master and specks fluent English. Going to the tea class after was the perfect combination, Alice Yang is a tea expert and lover. What a great day! I am glad I picked up this experience so I can leave China feeling I immersed myself in this fascinating culture!
A Memorable Morning of Tea + Tai Chi

5.00Fun, rewarding experience. Eric gave a broad perspective on Tai Chi and delivered an interesting beginners lesson. He then transitioned to Alice at Alice Yqng’s Tea House, who gave an exceptional overview of tea history, culture and the science behind harvesting & preparing tea. Both Alice and Eric were patient, hospitable and well-prepared. Great half-day experience in Beijing.
