Heidi takes the time to inaugurate new students to her classes according to their abilities and any physical conditions that might require them to modify certain positions. I have personally progressed in my knowledge of Tai Chi and Qi Gong while participating in Heidi’s classes and look forward to expanding my knowledge within other areas of instruction. I highly recommend Heidi as an instructor." - Gloria "I’ve been taking t’ai chi and qi gong classes from Heidi off and on since 2020. I’ve found her to be a great facilitator. Her routines are well thought out and effective. By offering a Zoom option, she makes a space for people with limited mobility options such as myself. I plan to continue with her for the foreseeable future." - Jayne "Ms. Gillis instructs technically sound classes, fosters engagement with her participants, and includes an educational component within her class when appropriate. She is very reliable and dependable and a highly valued instructor to our program." - Kathleen Zumbar, Millennium Enterprises
