Promoting Self-Awareness, Prevention of Illness,
Stress Reduction and Enhancing all Aspects of Life

Monterey Bay Healing Tao Center started in 1996 as an outlet for offering classes in Universal Tao mind, body, spirit Qi Gong Meditative Practices, and Zhungu Taijiquan Traditional Chen Family Taijiquan. 

The key concept is increasing vital energy, or qi, through easy techniques and physical exercises for health, wellness and/or Taijiquan martial training. Following an endeavor to cultivate, and share internal training and teachings, modern expressions of century old Taoist energy cultivation practices are shared.

With total mind - body awareness through Taiji forms & Qi Gong exercise, practitioners learn rooting and self-healing; improve bone, joint and body health, balance and poise.

Basic Principles of Taiji & Qi Gong (Tai Chi & Qi Gong) emphasize the integration of seemingly separate actions in the body to be combined and coordinated into one skillful motion.

Benefits include:

  • Taoist Healing & Self Transformation

  • Alternate Healing & Wellness for the realities of Modern Living

  • Optimal Health & Wellness for all ages

Mind and Body Wellness Classes  

Ongoing classes in Taiji and Qi Gong are available through the Monterey Bay Healing Tao. 

A major aim of classes and programs offered in Taiji and Qi Gong are to help one to cope better with daily tasks as well as improving one’s mental and physical health. No prior knowledge of Taiji or Qi Gong is necessary.
