I was lucky enough to be a student of Master Kang Rhee for three wonderful years at his Cordova studio. He explained to me the benefits of yoga tai-chi, and I became a religious 3-4 time per week attendee for nearly three years. His practice helped me achieve relief from both my emotional and physical ailments. I turned from a sedentary college student into an athletic and graceful young lady through the yoga tai-chi practice. He was the most upstanding gentleman, mentor, teacher, and guru to me, and his teachings and guidance changed my life for the better. Master Rhee was a disciplined but kind-hearted man. He valued knowing that he taught his students something that they could carry with them for the rest of their lives, even if it was just from the beauty of a free first yoga tai-chi class, which he offered to anyone who wanted to try it. Master Rhee, I will always remember you, your guidance, your patience, your generosity of spirit, and your genius, because that is what you truly were and will always be remembered as. Your classes will remain some of the happiest and most comforting memories of my life. You touched so many hearts and lives, and I know you are in a better place. May you rest in peace Master Rhee.
