Reconnecting in the mountains
I have just returned from a skiing holiday in the beautiful Swiss mountains, newly inspired to share MogaDao Yoga and Qigong.

It is also because the mountains…

Coming soon – Well-Woman Yoga for Menstrual, Reproductive and Menopausal Health – to promote the well-being of women of all ages.

MogaDao creator and founder Zhenzan Dao has just made available the first-ever film of himself, ‘A Natural History of MogaDao Qigong’, where he talks about the origins of MogaDao and shares through movement and words the “creation stories” of some particular MogaDao Qigong forms.

It can be hard in our pop-a-pill, goal-oriented, immediate-gratification culture for people to accept that true healing from the inside out takes time. Even if they are initially committed to a holistic approach to healing, many people quickly lose heart and give up if they do not experience immediate dramatic results, while others make do…
Read MoreTaiwan – land of Qigong and Bubble Tea
I spent the whole of this summer with my family in Taiwan. My husband and I lived for 10 years in China in the 1990s and I spent several months in Taiwan before that as part of my Chinese studies. So this trip was partly a walk down memory lane, as well as a chance…
