Welcome to Bending Tree

Bending Tree Tai Chi Kung is now part of the Tai Chi East-West Alliance (TEA), a local non-profit group made up of instructors and students. Bending Tree Tai Chi Kung (BT) teaches classes and provides information for Tai Chi and Qigong in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area. We invite you to learn more about Tai Chi and Qigong, to see our class offerings and schedule, pre-register for a class, and to review the other information we've provided.

TEA/BT was formed and merged for the purpose of educating the public about the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong, and to promote health and wellness to all individuals who are interested in learning these practices. We seek to educate the public about the benefits these practices offer which can include reduced stress, better concentration, improved balance, increased range of motion, weight loss, and better posture. We teach classes to a broad range of individuals, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, etc. We will offer scholarships to individuals who apply for them, and who comply with the terms of our Scholarship policy. We are a largely volunteer organization. All operations management, marketing, program direction, personnel management, and bookkeeping tasks are performed 100% by volunteers.

We would like to share our health and wellness programs with you, and assist you in discovering the many benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong for exercise and stress reduction.
