Kevin Beane first encountered Tai Chi in 1981 during a month-long trek in the Himalayas. Though already a serious practitioner of Karate (1st degree black belt), Kevin had never seen or heard of Tai Chi. Mesmerized by what he saw, Kevin was attracted to the depth, grace and beauty of the practice. Upon returning to the US, Kevin began studying Tai Chi locally and continued in Boston for 5 years with Dr.Yang Jwing Ming. His greatest inspiration has been his late teacher and friend, Zhang Lu Ping, with whom he studied privately from 1990-1998 and who he credits with the gift of “learning how to learn.”

A licensed massage therapist since 1992, Kevin brings a holistic understanding of health and healing to his teaching. He sees Tai Chi as a transformational practice for integration of mind, body, and spirit. Kevin can be reached at 603-534-5185 or k.beane@comcast.net.

Yuka Cass (Assistant Instructor) teaches beginners, and runs the Tai Chi program when Kevin is away. She has been practicing Yang Style Tai Chi with Kevin since 2005. She also practices Aikido with Portsmouth Aikido and holds the rank of Shodan (first-degree black belt). Yuka can be reached at 603-275-0591 or yukahandacass@gmail.com.
