The Love of my life, a gift from my God, is joining me in the 1000 hour course. I am so grateful that we can share this experience. I am looking forward to aging gracefully with Patti. Please welcome her as well.

Hi, and welcome to SOHMA Tai Chi! I’m Dr. Daniel Hoover, the creator of the School of Healing Martial Arts and the SOHMA Tai Chi Instructor Certification Program. We’re excited to have you here as you build your practice, deepen your understanding, and work toward becoming a confident Tai Chi practitioner and/or a certified instructor. This community is your space to learn, ask questions, and grow alongside others on this path. How about you? Will you introduce yourself and share what you’re looking forward to in this program? I'm looking forward to learning with you, supporting your journey, and seeing you progress every step of the way. 🌿

Doctor of Chiropractic, Viet Nam Marine Veteran, Old Guy, Hellerwork Practitioner, Married 5 times, 6 adult kids, some still talk to me. Play golf, write poetry, cry easily, go to AA Meetings daily, more than willing to talk with anyone about their heartbreaks and not necessarily of a romantic nature. My losses and failures shape me more than I know; talking about them dispells their power. I work out daily including 400 kegel exercises for my “Old Guy” status. Hi.
