Discover what our students say think about our classes
Of all the classes, with all the teachers, in all the places, my Tai Chi class with Johnny Packard at the Lake Geneva Library was, bar none, the best!
The setting along the lakeshore of Geneva Lake is beautiful and invigorating. The instructions from Johnny include some history of Tai Chi practice, the movements are explained as to what parts of our body are getting the benefits. There is a demo of the form first, then we follow along. It is a superior experience. I am eager to get to the next class!

I have been a student of Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny for several years. His teachings are beyond the movements and open up an awareness of body and mind synergy.
Practicing and learning Tai Chi has given me a relaxed space in my mind thru this moving meditation.
Thank you Johnny. I appreciate the energy and effort you have given me and most importantly your patience. Grateful student Michael

Tai Chi Lake Geneva with Johnny Packard is absolutely wonderful! I've attended classes through the Badger Community Education program and at the Lake Geneva public library - with plans to regularly attend weekly in Williams Bay. Johnny has a very calming demeanor and soothing voice which makes his gentle teaching style so welcoming and easy to follow. Tai Chi really is for all ages with its characteristic slow, safe movements and breathwork that engages mind, body and spirit. The energy flow created within oneself as a result is amazing! Johnny's knowledge and experience is vast and it shows! I highly recommend his classes! You won't be disappointed. You'll very likely walk away energized and refreshed while also feeling inner peace and calm. Thank you Johnny for bringing this enriching program to the community!!

Johnny is a true teacher. Even though he is already very knowledgeable, he continues to learn from and practice with Tai chi masters. He has invested in the technology it takes for him to be able to teach classes professionally from home. He encourages us, his students, to use our recorded classes in order to get the greatest benefit from our work. He keeps movements safe for everyone and suggests modifications for times they are needed. I couldn't ask for more!
