Qualified Yuan Qigong & Ren Xue Teachers
We are here to support you in the commitment that you are making to yourself.
We are a group of local teachers covering a wide area between Marlborough and Nelson. Despite our uniqueness and differences, we all do what we can to carry on the mission of Ren Xue: Zi Du, Du Ren. Help yourself, help others.

Claire
Claire
Claire has been practising Qigong since 2013 after meeting Yuan Tze.
She has completed Yuan Tze's Ren Xue:
- 6 Year Teacher Training to fully qualify as a Yuan Gong Qigong & Ren Xue teacher.
From a very young age, Claire was interested in self-realisation. The death of her husband in 2009 gave her an insight into the true nature of reality, although she didn't fully understand it at the time. Claire has been studying Ren Xue for over 10 years and loves that Ren Xue offers an effective way for all of us to realise the Self, which makes her committed to doing the hard work on herself and helping others.

Chris
Chris has been practising Qigong for four wonderful years. She has found Ren Xue to be the remedy she needed to live a healthier, more balanced and more conscious life. Chris is currently loving doing the Ren Xue & Yuan Qigong Level 3 Teacher Training and is an active member of the Ren Xue community, supporting some exciting projects in our region.
Previous life experiences, personal development and a career in adult education have helped her to facilitate and support the growth of others in a variety of ways. Chris is available for one-to-one coaching sessions to develop clarity around your unique growth path.
There is a real need for us to recognise that deep and lasting change doesn't happen by magic, wishful thinking or listening to other people's motivational speeches (no matter how inspiring they are). As we all know, nothing beats practice. But how many of us actually apply what we know? Ren Xue is a unique system that, through its practices, allows us to close the gap between what we know and what we do, and offers a very practical way of living a truly healthy, happy and meaningful life. Consistency, dedication and support are the keys to lasting change. Let's practice!
"You can choose to change your life by continuing to follow your imaginings, rather than by following the laws of life and nature, but I am afraid that it will probably not work that well since it hasn’t so far."
