Dear Dr. Kuhn,
Thank you so much for your excellent training and for sharing your profound knowledge and patience with us. Your guidance has been invaluable, and I will certainly strive to SLOW DOWN as I continue my practice.
I feel much more confident stepping into the role of a teacher because of the strong foundation you helped me build. It was a truly wonderful class.
Many thanks,

Thank you Dr Kuhn, for these four really rich classes.
Learned a lot and enjoyed learning it. It is always a great pleasure to learn from you – the new form, teaching techniques, and the Tao. Grateful for the Saturday morning sessions. I will miss them. Am adopting your practice of a morning hour of Qigong/tai chi practice. Working on moving more slowly. The breathing seems quite natural. I Will do the 100 day challenge. By the end of that I hope to be able to learn the other side. Many thanks.
May your travels be smooth and uneventful.
