Meet Dan Kimball

Certified Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor • Licensed Professional Counselor

Hi, I’m Dan. I teach Tai Chi and Qigong in Tucson for adults who want to explore gentle movement, balance, and relaxation. Beginners and returning students are welcome.

I bring more than 15 years of practice and over eight years of teaching experience to my classes. My goal is to make learning approachable, with clear guidance and time to become comfortable with each movement.

Teaching Approach

How I Teach

My counseling background informs my approach: patience, attentive listening, and respect for each person’s comfort.

Learn a little at a time

I break movements into manageable parts and revisit them as we practice.

Move at your own pace

You can adjust your range of motion, take a break, or use a chair for support.

Ask questions along the way

I welcome requests to repeat a movement or explain it differently.
