We are an international nonprofit organization committed to promoting health, disease prevention, and improving the quality of life for people by helping them identify and strengthen their own internal energy, or "Qi.
The Institute promotes healing exercises such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi to strengthen mental, physical and emotional balance. These exercises have been shown to improve immune function, prevent illness, relieve chronic pain, improve mental clarity, and promote anti-aging.

Teaching students how to use their own Qi (life force) in order to balance their life and health.
-
Providing an interesting (optional) monthly discussion of Tao Te Ching topics.
We are on a journey of natural healing and prevention of disease for all. You can take a course or optimize your healing experience with a membership. Your healing journey has a ripple effect on others. When your Qi changes, your life also changes.
