Our Story

The inception of Shang De Tai Chi Praying Mantis traces back to my own transformative journey with Tai Chi. Years ago, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, I stumbled upon this beautiful practice. It was more than just a workout; it became a sanctuary where I found clarity and strength. After years of study and honing my skills, I felt a calling to share this art with others in Edmonton, AB. I envisioned a space where people could come together, uniting in the shared pursuit of wellness. This isn’t simply a business for me; it’s a passion ignited by a desire to foster connection, resilience, and healing. My motivation comes from witnessing the incredible changes in those who commit to the practice. Each class is a step towards not just physical health, but emotional and spiritual wellbeing—a testament to the power of Tai Chi.
