Stillness to Meet Life with Presence
My name is Yang. I am a Usui Holy Fire Reiki Practitioner and a Traditional Yang-style Tai Chi instructor. The goal of my practices is to offer support of a more grounded, spacious, and connected way of living.
In my work, stillness is not about stepping away from life. It is about creating the space to meet it with more presence, clarity, and care. Sometimes that begins in quiet rest. Sometimes through movement. Sometimes through the simple experience of learning something new in a steady and welcoming space.
To learn to be still is to arrive to stillness from practice, be it a quiet reflection or a lively flow. This is where my practices converges
A Practice of Presence
The practices I teach and offer are different in form, yet they share a common intention: to support people come into a more grounded relationship with body, mind, and daily life.
Through practice, stillness becomes not an absence of action, but a way of bringing more awareness to how life is met. This is the spirit in which I offer Reiki healing and Tai Chi instruction.
Reiki
This system of Reiki healing was developed by Mikao Usui the early 20th century. It is a non-invasive complementary therapy that has been taught and used in the UK since the late 1900s. Reiki is recognised as a complementary therapy in the UK and can be used alone or in conjunction other medical or non-medical treatments. Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medication or treatments. It is not based on any belief, faith or suggestion. (source: UK REIKI FEDERATION)
I offer Reiki a quieter healing space for rest, inward connection, recovery and reflection. It is a calm and restorative healing space.
Traditional Yang-Style Tai Chi Quan
Tai Chi Quan is a Chinese martial art. Yang-Style is one of the five most well known style founded by Yang Lu Chan in 19th century China. It is an internal martial art which means its core element of the practice is Qi. Similar to Ki in Reiki, Qi is the name Chinese culture uses to represent the universal life energy.
My teaching is a non-combat training. Modern Tai Chi practice not only preserves its traditional root but also evolved into a living practice that can support wellbeing, body awareness, balance, joint health and strength. Practised in a group, it also becomes a social space: a place to explore, to practise, and to enjoy the process in company with others. Not to mention, it is a lot of fun!
