Qigong Daily Practice
(Warm Up and Eight Pieces of Brocade)
In 1982, after resigning from my engineering career—which had taken a heavy toll on my health—I began developing a gentle warm-up routine through four years of personal practice and self-exploration. Since then, I have shared these preparatory exercises with people around the world, and countless practitioners have experienced their remarkable benefits for body, breath, and mind.
​
We begin each session with this carefully compiled warm-up sequence to prepare the body, open the energy channels, and create a calm, receptive state—setting the perfect foundation for deeper practice.
​
Following the warm-up, I will guide you through the most popular and accessible traditional form of qigong: Eight Pieces of Brocade. This ancient sequence, with its graceful, flowing movements, is ideal for daily practice. Widely practiced for centuries, it promotes overall health, flexibility, balance, and harmonious qi flow, making it suitable for all ages and levels.
​
Join me to experience these time-tested practices that have helped so many restore vitality and well-being!

Taiji (Tai Chi)
Martial Applications
Taijiquan is an internal martial art rooted in the philosophy of Taiji, embodying the interplay of Yin and Yang.
​
Developed within Daoist traditions, it combines powerful self-defense skills and combat principles (Yang — active, external) with deep meditative movement, qi cultivation, and spiritual growth (Yin — receptive, internal).
​
In this seminar, we explore both sides and show how they interconnect — where softness overcomes hardness, and inner harmony enhances outer strength.
​
Discover the complete essence of Taijiquan as a unified path to health, martial skill, and spiritual awakening.

​
Benefits include:
