Aliya Rab, co-creator of Tai Chi Fusion
 Aliya Rab is an avid Tai Chi
practitioner and incorporates it in every aspect of her life. She started learning Tai Chi from Lee several years ago and found it to be the most effective and brilliant routine
for a complete mind-body connection. An experienced architect and holistic healer, Aliya is drawn to the creative and health aspects of Tai Chi.
Originally from Pakistan, Aliya grew up learning various dance styles of the Indo-Pak subcontinent. She is particularly fond of the classical “Kathak” dance and is
intrigued by the similarities between the basic principles of Kathak, Yoga and Tai Chi. These elegant and fluid forms come together in Tai Chi Fusion.
Lee writes: "As a student, Aliya is every teachers dream.
Even without her dance background Aliya seamlessly incorporates fluidity and gracefulness and applies the basic Tai Chi principles not only to her Tai Chi practice
and dance but to her day-to-day life as well. Aliya's story is a testament to the healing powers of Tai Chi!"
