Welcome!

The Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) was founded in the spirit of the new millennium and profound new possibilities -- in 2000. The human race has now evolved sufficiently to move toward maximum health, greater peace and deeper purpose. However, intentful personal awareness will be required for conscious evolution.Qi (Chi) cultivation and the cultivation of power and virtue -- through Qigong (Chi Kung) and Tai Chi (Taiji) --are the power tools of conscious personal improvement. Qigong, and later Tai Chi, were developed and refined carefully over thousands of years with the exact purpose of mindful evolution of body, mind and spirit.
