Why People Choose IPSB

TAI CHI CHUAN
Learn the Yang short form with a direct lineage to the teacher who brought Tai Chi to the US: Cheng Man Ching.
The IPSB-style massage is derived from the ancient art form known as Tai Chi Chuan.
LONGEVITY
Most massage therapists work 5-7 years before getting injured or burned out. Using Tai Chi principles to generate energy and utilize proper body mechanics reduces repetitive motion injury by activating large muscle groups rather than using smaller, easily injured muscles (i.e. thumbs, fingers, forearms).
BODY MIND
By learning body-mind principles, students gain a greater understanding of themselves. They have increased awareness of emotional sources of pain, healthier relationships with their clients, and healthy boundaries.
COMMUNITY
IPSB has a robust community where students establish life-long friendships and connections. IPSB staff are all alumni, and provide ongoing support for students as they move into their careers.
IPSB MY WAY
At IPSB we are all about meeting you where you’re at. We have a varied schedule and offer flexible, 0% interest, no early payment penalty payment plans that are based on what works for you. Because you need a massage table to practice, your table is also built into your payment plan. The average program takes 18 months, but is based on both scheduling of classes and your availability to take them, some people complete it faster and some people add in electives and specializations to their payment plans, which takes longer.
Generate energy while you work, as opposed to using personal energy.
