Energy Movement Specialist
My name is Ting Ting and I have been in the movement and wellness industry for over a 2 decades.
My passion is sharing the techniques and knowledge learned through the years to help others move better, breathe better, and feel better. I love to help people rediscover a new respect for their bodies. To gain confidence and empower their spirit.
This passion has me to develop a new movement technique, GuanJing Method. An easy to learn meditative movement practice that cultivates Qi energy using spiraling circular shapes. The movements are designed to transform tension and heavy emotions into renewed vitality leaving the practitioner feeling refreshed and at peace.
My dedication to this practice is globally recognized as a pioneer in the movement industry merging elements of Yoga, Qi Gong, and Dance. My latest book " Meditative Movements to Optimize Health and Vitality" hit the best sellers list on Christmas Eve last year.
Everyday I strive to embody my practice and live in full flow with the current of life. To not take life so seriously and dance with the elements that come my way.
I would be honored to flow with you!
