INSTRUCTOR

Spotlight Faye Baker, a resident of Paso Robles for the past nine years, has developed innovative programs and recreational classes based on her experience in the physical therapy field and martial arts. She has taught body movement arts for 28 years and is a certified instructor in both Tai Chi and Chi Gung. She has also trained in Yoga, various other martial arts and has a black belt in TaeKwonDo. Faye has taught for the City of Paso Robles since 2003 and is beloved by her students for her expertise and compassion. Here are quotes from some of her enthusiastic participants: “I saw that Dr. Oz recommends qigong so I decided to give it a try. Actually it’s amazing how the information is presented and how much better I feel.” C.C., Paso Robles “My blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar tests had all improved. My doctor said to keep doing what I am doing – qigong.” W.B., Paso Robles “I was so high-strung I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. The breathing and slow movements of qigong have had a calming effect and I can better deal with the stress of work and home life.” C.L., Templeton Faye invites you to come to your first class for free and discover how Tai Chi & Body in Balance can benefit you!
