About the teacher:

Tao Chi Kai is a holistic massage therapist and Chi Gung teacher based in London. In his practice he draws from his family lineage (Ly Chi Gung) that is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese and Vietnamese healing. For more than ten years he has been exploring and teaching breath- and bodywork, holistic massage and moving meditation. His adaptive approach is intuitive, and deeply human, something that has helped many people connect more fully to their own bodies.

Kai's teaching is specific and grounded, yet playful and open. He doesn’t just teach forms, he invites you on a journey.

Why are we doing this?

We both experience the benefit of a healthy body mind connection. Bringing teachers and practices into community is what we' re excited about. We’ve enjoyed many retreats and co-created events over the years and the format that resonates with us is non profit, based in a beautiful space full of new learning and a sense of community.
