Created by Master Van Tran after more than five decades immersed in acupuncture, Aikido, and Tai Chi, Shodo TaiChi offers a gentle, accessible path to whole‑body wellness. The practice is designed to stimulate acupuncture meridians to support healing and the health of the internal organs.

Three monthly membership options are available. For more information, reach Master Van Tran at 405-408-0032.
