Catherine S. Holder

I teach Tai Chi and Qigong classes of many different Tai Chi forms - Cloud Hands, Standardized Yang Style, Chen Style, and Wudang Sword Form. I also have classes of Qigong and Tai Chi for Better Balance and for Health. I was born in Colorado Springs, then spent 3 years in Australia, and ended up in Portland for my high school years. I attended the University of Utah, where I majored in Dance and became a member of Ballet West, where I stayed until I was 30. After retiring from the dance world, I returned to Portland, became a Physical Therapist, and studied Tai Chi. Movement is sort of my thing. I have 2 children and 2 grandchildren, and support and volunteer for various music, dance, and performing arts groups throughout the Portland area.
