TaijiFit Academy of Flow Science
Training Teachers, Conductors and Instructors since 1988.
Our Mission
"Our mission is to provide a professional credential for Tai Chi instructors (as well as yoga and meditation teachers), trained to make these practices easy to learn, teach, and share through the TaijiFit Method."
In many parts of the West, Tai Chi has been introduced by devoted hobbyists and enthusiasts. While their contributions are invaluable, we recognize the need for a higher level of professional education, especially for instructors who work with special populations such as veterans, seniors, and neurodivergent individuals. Through the TaijiFit Method, we ensure that Tai Chi is not only accessible and engaging, but also tailored to meet the needs of these communities, helping to spread the profound benefits of Tai Chi more effectively.

What is "Flow Science?"
At the TaijiFit Academy, Flow Sciences refers to the study and practice of how humans naturally access the flow state—a condition of effortless presence where movement, breath, and awareness become one. Modern psychology often frames flow as a mental performance tool, but we see it as something deeper: an inherent human capacity that’s been buried under stress, self-judgment, and overthinking.
Our training program is the only one of its kind that uses Tai Chi, yoga, and meditation—not just to teach movement, but to systematically remove the blocks that prevent flow. You’ll learn how to guide others into this state through embodied practice, not mental effort. This makes your teaching more impactful, more accessible to special populations, and more aligned with how flow actually works in real life. In short: you’ll become not just an instructor, but a conductor of flow.
Credential Programs
TaijiFit Conductor/Instructor Certification
Our premiere training and certification program. In this program, we give you the skills you need to guide others in their Tai Chi journey.
Our curriculum starts with TaijiFit 101: Movement Skills (the first skill a Tai Chi teacher needs to master). Then comes two courses in Cueing Skills - TaijiFit 150: Silent Cueing, and TaijiFit 200: Verbal Cueing Skills.
But that's not all. TaijiFit Instructors must know how to adapt their instruction continuously to help guide others into Flow. That's why the next course is TaijiFit 250: Observation and Assessment Skills. Last but not least you'll take TaijiFit 300: Safety Skills. Now the real fun begins as you shift into the second phase: instructor practice with live students!
Here's the vibe from our students:
Time to Share, Learn, and Dance
“I loved teaching Flow shows. I loved my mentors and instructors. Deb was an excellent instructor. We had time to share, learn, and dance. Class size was perfect.”
A Labor of Love, and It Shows
“TaijiFit 101 is a labor of love, and it shows!”
More Mindful of My Choices
“It caused me to think and evaluate how I live my life and to be more mindful of my choices and approaches.”
