Meet Your Teacher
Victor Tessari: Certified Tai Chi Gung Instructor
"I found Tai Chi Gung in May 2021. I've been practicing ever since May of 2021 and have continued to do the exercises everyday. The consequence of Tai Chi Gung is having a profound affect on my relationships with my family, friends, understanding of life, nutrition. A system of continual growth, spiritual, physical, and mental in ways that can only be defined as divinely inspired.
Everyday is new. I've been a spiritual seeker most of my life. No system has opened the doorway to enlightenment as Tai Chi Gung. It has brought a positive, healthy, peaceful and a divine life when the world around me seemed like chaos."
~ Victor
Can I Join a Class Anytime?
Lao Tzu created a series of warm ups and 4 basic Standing Exercises that are the core of every class. These are simple moving and breathing exercises that help students feel the life energy of Nature directly.
Almost 90% of students feel it in their very first class.
Whether you have been studying 6 minutes, 6 months, or 6 years, you do the simple movements you learned in your very first class. They serve as an outline, and each student connects in their own way.
Because we don't hold back exercises, and they remain consistent, new students can join a live class any time. You'll feel right at home!
What Should I Wear?
Comfortable street clothes are fine. The class is done standing up, and it's so gentle you won't break a sweat!
4 Main Tai Chi Gung Standing Exercises
Lao Tzu’s Tai Chi Gung is sometimes called Simple Yoga. We do gentle standing exercises that connect us to the life force in Nature and learn to breathe the energy. You will learn the 4 Main Tai Chi Gung Standing Exercises, then more advanced exercises when the class is ready.
Figure Eights
Lao Tzu discovered that when the right and left side of the body are balanced correctly, a third regenerative energy is released. More than 90% of the human race never taps into this energy.
Body Twist
Spending more than 50 years immersed in Nature, Lao Tzu wondered, “Trees live for hundreds of years. If I move energy as they do, can I also learn to live as long as they do?” Turns out, he was right.
Crane
Noticing how moisture is blown up a mountainside and then comes down as rain or snow, Lao Tzu investigated how this flow is mirrored in the physical body. He discovered it is central to regeneration.
Tai Chi Swim
Most students feel the energy in their very first live class during Tai Chi Swim. To master energy, one must feel it physically. The Lamas of Tibet call this “having a biological experience of the Divine.”
