Meet Your Teacher

Heather Caverly: Certified Tai Chi Gung Instructor, Artist, Metalsmith

I’m a wife of 45 years, a mother of two grown children both happily married, & a grandmother of two beautiful granddaughters. I live in Northville / Novi area of Metro Detroit. I achieved a BFA in Metalsmithing and a minor in Fine Arts at the age of 50, then opened Sleeping Bear Gallery in Empire Michigan in 2012. In 2018 I realized I had neglected my body so badly, while caring for my deceased parents, that I could hardly walk.

In 2020 I found Master Lama Rasaji and the following year began studying Tai Chi Gung under the tutelage of Lamaji and Master David Paul. It’s been completely life changing for me. I’m back to being able to run up the stairs, hike, swim, kayak, & so much more. This gave me a new lease on life and I felt a calling to transform the gallery into a Gallery of Visual & Healing Arts. I desired to help others learn how to transform their lives back to great health as I had. I had already studied Vibrational Sound Healing so I decided to become a Tai Chi Gung Instructor & my newest passions took flight.

If you’re seeking a way to regain or increase your physical and mental vitality Tai Chi Gung is your answer. I would love the opportunity to show you what it’s done for me and to teach you how you can do the exact same thing for yourself. The simplicity of Tai Chi Gung is magically transformative. It’s the gentlest form of Yoga I’ve ever experienced and it’s regenerative! We all wish each other Happy Youthing Day on our birthdays because that’s literally what our bodies are doing. We’re feeling younger & younger & you can too!

Can I Join a Class Anytime?

Lao Tzu created a series of warm ups and 4 basic Standing Exercises that are the core of every class. These are simple moving and breathing exercises that help students feel the life energy of Nature directly. Almost 90% of students feel it in their very first class.

Whether you have been studying 6 minutes, 6 months or 6 years, you do the simple movements you learned in your very first class. They serve as an outline, and each student connects in their own way.

Because we don't hold back exercises, and they remain consistent, new students can join a live class any time. You'll feel right at home!

What Should I Wear?

Comfortable street clothes are fine. The class is done standing up, and it's so gentle you won't break a sweat!
