Tai Chi Gung includes a series of gentle standing exercises that free the breath and connect a student with the life force in Nature. This strengthens the immune system, improves balance and calms the nervous system. It also aids circulation, endocrine gland function and brings abiding peace of mind.

“Tai Chi Gung is the owner’s manual for the human body.”

The Tai Chi Gung system was created by Boganathar, a famous Indian Yoga Master more than 3300 years ago. This master of Hatha, Pranayama and Kundalini and Japa Yoga became unsettled with the status quo among his teachers. So he moved to China to immerse himself in Nature, determined to learn Her secrets of longevity and regeneration and discover the true spiritual purpose of the physical body.

Later, this same sage was given the name Lao Tzu by the Emperor of China who became his private student. After the emperor passed away, Lao Tzu left China and moved to Tibet. After many decades practicing his regenerative art amid rugged mountains, he perfected the system, opened a school of Tai Chi Gung and trained 12 Lamas to continue on.

My teacher and mentor, Master Lama Rasaji lived and trained at the original Lamasery where Tai Chi Gung began. I’ve been his student for more than 38 years. I serve as the director of teacher training for the Circle of Chi community. I’ve been sharing group classes and working with private students for more than 25 years.
