Rob Ploger began studying tai chi in Maryland in 1994 with Dr. Tim Lee. His studies included standing meditation (Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung) and the Yang and Chen style forms. Rob has been a music teacher for as many years and began teaching tai chi privately in 2000.

"Within a few weeks of starting a tai chi practice I noticed a greater sense of ease and facility in sports, hobbies and work life. But more importantly I was experiencing a deeper sense of relaxation and peace. It is my hope to share with others an art that has positive benefits on many levels -- emotional, physical and spiritual."

Rob has offered classes through the following facilities:

Golden Gate Healing Center
Tucson Jewish Community Center

And offered classes through the generosity of the following organizations who have offered their space for tai chi:

Odaiko Sonora (S.P.A.C.E.)
