Additional Information
Otto began his study of Tai Chi in 2003 while attending Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in traditional Eastern Arts with Double Concentration in both Yoga and Tai Chi. During his time there, he explored the depths of softness and its importance to well-being. He has taught Tai Chi to all ages and body types and finds Tai Chi to be of utmost importance to everybody, considering the times we live in and how rampant stress and agitation has become. Since returning to the Bay Area, he has been teaching healing through movement at many different locations, as well as teaching out of his home studio in Berkeley, CA.
