Lovely happy memories🙏🙏

My Sifu transitioned from this life last Sunday. In 2000, he changed my life from chronic pain to a life pain free, full of zest, love and light.
His dedication to helping people who suffer from chronic illness through Shaolin Chi Kung was awe inspiring.
May his spark of transmission live on in those of us who share his knowledge and wisdom.

RIP Sifu💔💔💔

The first of our monthly Sundays for Intermediate and Seniors begins tomorrow in Killarney court hotel.
I'm so glad so many of you are joining me in our continuing journey of being healthy, happy and free for 2026.
The Beginners syllabus begins in a few weeks both online and in person.
You can check out my website for full details on that and the in person Tai Chi syllabus and dates also.
In my opinion, Tai Chi Chuan cannot be taught online so this is an in person course over set Sundays throughout the year.
I'm looking forward to sharing these two amazing and profound arts with you.

2025 is a 9 year signifying endings 2026 is a 1 year signifying new beginnings. As I was thinking about this I realised that 1999 was a 1 year and that was the year that I bought Sifus book Chi Kung for health and vitality and booked an Intensive Chi Kung course in Malaysia with him.
Even though the course was January 2000 a 2 year, the seeds were set in 1999 and what a new beginning it was 😀 those seeds sprouted really well and not only helped me but hundreds since then.
What seed are you setting for 2026?
Many Blessings and sudden joys - Sifu Joan. 🙏💖
