Daniel has been practicing and teaching tai chi and qigong on the Central Coast since 2010, after discovering its effectiveness at tackling the stress and anxiety in his life at the time. Progressing rapidly as a student in his local class, Daniel then began training directly under Grandmaster Gary Khor and Master Aaron Khor to quickly become an Academy Instructor himself.
He now continues his training with Grandmaster Khor, attending regular training, workshops and seminars with the Academy, and reading widely on the philosophy of tai chi as it relates to health and relaxation. In 2016, he embarked on a tour of China with the Academy to further absorb the history and culture of the art, at the source.
Instructor Daniel brings a unique perspective and insight to his classes, combining his tai chi training with his background knowledge in martial arts, a Bachelor of Teaching, Certificate IV in Fitness, and his own personal experience with anxiety to help students access tai chi’s benefits across the domains of physical, mental and emotional health, as well as for personal growth. Daniel currently runs classes on the Central Coast, NSW.
Helen’s Tai Chi journey began in October 2008 when she attended her first class at her local neighbourhood centre. From that first lesson the desire to know and learn more was evident. Progressing quickly with her training she was often asked by her instructor to lead the class, shortly after earning an invitation to train under Grand Master Gary Khor and become an Academy Instructor.
She continues to further her knowledge by also training under Master Aaron Khor, attending regular workshops and training seminars and in 2016 travelled to China with the Academy to experience the culture and history behind the art of Tai Chi.
Helen has also shared her knowledge by giving demonstrations in various schools, Aged Care facilities, Seniors Week activities and Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea at her local neighbourhood centre. Helen’s classes are welcoming and friendly and she has a connection to her students that makes them feel comfortable, at ease and open to learning and free to ask questions. Helen currently teaches classes on the Central Coast, NSW.
