		The Taoist Arts Center : Who We Are


	The Taoist Arts Center was founded in 1990 out of a long term commitment to practicing the internal arts and creating a vibrant community where people can learn about tai chi, chi kung, meditation and share what they know. Our students come from all walks of life and all backgrounds. We invite you to come by and check us out.

	Why Practice Tai Chi An Interview with Susan Rabinowitz

	I enjoyed Susan' s teaching style, particularly the detailed progress on through all aspects of the form and then going deeper into each aspect! Maureen C.


	The Water Method of Lao Tzu and the early Taoists permeates Susan's approach to the internal arts. As water wears away rock, practitioners of this method dissolve energy blockages and allow their energy to circulate freely. The Water Method builds a foundation of good health. From there practitioners learn to dispel their emotional and psychic ghosts and transform themselves into balanced, mature beings at ease with themselves and their environment.


	Susan is a licensed massage therapist with an understanding of acupuncture and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. She has practiced the Internal Arts for over 30 years and has taught at places like New York University, the New School University, the NYC Dept. of Health, Colgate-Palmolive Co. and Virginia Tech. She has developed a specialized Chi Kung program for Senior Citizens called Eldercise. Susan's work was twice featured on the cable TV program Light...Quest. and was showcased on the video 'Who am I? Why am I Here?' narrated by Thomas Moore. Her article Dragon and Tiger Chi Kung may be seen in the November 2002, issue of Inside Kung Fu Magazine. Personal Training and private consultations with Susan Rabinowitz are available.
