Sheila Bell

Sheila spent her formative years in north Dallas and Richardson, Texas, swimming, dancing ballet, and playing soccer. After injuries and illness, she turned to yoga and weightlifting. 

After more injury and illness, she finally discovered Qigong and traditional Chinese medicine and began to understand much more about how to stay healthy! 

After 15 years of Qigong and Chuan, her acupuncturist suggested she teach others to spread the benefits of Tai chi far and wide. However, she wanted to feel better prepared and knew there was much more to be learned and experienced! 

After some searching, she found Sigung Richard Clear in 2015 and began training in the Clear Tai Chi system. Since that time she has transitioned all her classes to Clear's methods and regularly supports people in their healing with the Fa kung method of Qigong healing. 

Knowing now more than ever how extensive the practice of real Tai chi is, Sheila is an avid student and is passionate about sharing true, functional methods with people of all ages and fitness levels. Other interests include the use of aromatherapy in TCM, the effects of emotion and energy on the physical body, and methods by which people can improve their lifestyle to live their best life.

Sheila studied Marine Biology at Texas A&M Galveston. She taught high school science classes for 15 years. She has lived in Costa Rica for 30 years with her family where they operate a cacao farm and have a chocolate shop. 

There is a wooden platform on the farm in a wooded area between two volcanoes, which is a perfect spot to doing Clear's Tai chi!
