SIFU EILEEN HOUSTEAU

Wudang Qigong

  “As a financial analyst, I was exhausted and depleted.” Says Eileen, “I first discovered Qigong by chance when I saw an ad for a “Chinese Yoga” class at a local gym. Within three months of training, my neck and hand numbness vanished, my sleep quality noticeably improved and I was able to avoid surgery.”


  “After experiencing my transformation, I decided to take a trip to Wudang, China for a Daoist pilgrimage tour. I went because I was seeking the root of health and wellness teachings. On that trip, I became a lineage-inheriting disciple, and vowed to bring the tradition forward to future generations."
