Great Lake T’ai Chi Ch’uan has been dedicated to the continuous teaching of Professor Chengs Yang Style Short Form in Rochester, New York for over 25 years.

Our focus is health, relaxation, meditation and exercise.  Our approach emphasizes connection to ground, joint alignment, balance, inner peace and harmony.  Once learned, Tai Chi awakens the student to a lively body-mind-spirit, and an integrated expression of one's vital energy.

“A gentle exercise, performed as a series of soft and supple movements.  A benefit to all, regardless of age or condition!”

Instructor Mark Westcott is a senior student of Maggie Newman of New York City.  Mark has been studying Tai Chi for nearly 30 years with Maggie.  He has been teaching in Rochester for over two decades, beginning when Maggie passed the Rochester school to him.  Mark has also studied extensively with Ben Lo, Liu Hsi Heung, and Lenzie Williams.  It is Marks philosophy that Tai Chi offers us a life long process for personal development, including aging with flexibility.
