Sifu Albena Patroneva

Albena is a passionate Tai Chi instructor with more than ten years of dedicated practice. What began as a personal exploration of movement and mindfulness quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to the art. She is especially drawn to Sun Style Tai Chi — both hand forms and sword — appreciating its fluidity, grace, and emphasis on internal strength.

Albena brings patience, enthusiasm, and a deep respect for tradition to every class she teaches. She finds joy not only in refining her own forms but also in supporting others on their Tai Chi journeys. Watching students gain confidence, ease, and harmony in their movements is one of her greatest rewards. Through her teaching, she aims to create a welcoming environment where growth feels natural, practice feels meaningful, and everyone can experience the transformative benefits of Tai Chi.
