I’ve done some research and found two locations right next to each other, one that teaches Tai Chi, and one that teaches Yoga.

The Tai Chi style that is taught is the short Yang style. The web site does not give the instructor’s name or his student lineage to Yang Lu-Ch’an as do some other sites I’ve seen from schools around the USA. It’s the only Tai Chi school in town though, and would be a good place to start.

The level one and two classes of Yoga are Iyengar Yoga, with a mixture of Hatha and Vinyasa styles taught in the higher intensity classes.

Does anyone have any insight to the short Yang style, or Iyengar, Hatha, and Vinyasa schools of Yoga?

Anita,

Thanks for your follow-up and for pointing me to your Sifu’s site. If I go with DVDs on Tai Chi, I can tell from Sifu Gore’s videos that it is important to find videos that show the movements from two angles, not just the front.

My thanks again to everyone!
