cerebus wrote:Hello! I have a friend in the Oakland area (Emeryville) of Cali who is looking for a good Tai Chi Instructor. Nothing martially based, she is looking more for the health and self development benefits. It's been a long time since I was in Oakland, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
