Mary Ann KashefMary Ann Kashef has been studying the Martial Arts for over 24 years and is a certified Tai Chi and Qigong instructor. She has taught all over the metropolitan Detroit area and has been featured on the Channel 7 News, Oakland Press, The Detroit Free Press, and was the featured guest on a local Birmingham broadcast of Graceful Aging with Greg Bator. She teaches Tai Chi Therapy and medical Qigong at Beaumont Hospital for Cardiac, Pulmonary, Women's Wellness, and Optimal Aging clients.
Her patience and humor make her classes very enjoyable and her explanations are described as insightful. Her students appreciate her step-by-step instruction, which makes it easy for even beginners to learn the forms. She has successfully taught a student who is blind, as well as adolescents with severe disabilities. She began to study the Martial Arts to help manage the stress of caring for her oldest son, who was diagnosed with severe Autism. She found that the practice calmed her, relieved joint and muscle pain and helped her think more clearly. Her philosophy is that Tai Chi and Qigong are both a practice of balancing your own energy to heal and remaining centered through any trials or negativity that may come your way.
