Corinne Chaves & Wild Peace Tai Chi
The “wild peace” in my business name speaks to the dual aspects of yin and yang at the core of my nature. Adventurous pairs with serious, humorous, with knowledgeable.
A recipient of lineage transmissions in the Long Men & San Feng Sects of Daoism, and the Sivananda & Kriya Yoga Vedantic traditions, I impart authentic (non-westernized) teachings. As a teacher, I strive to be clear, concise, patient and responsive as I bring these ancient self-healing practices to life. The heart of my practice and teachings emanates from an awareness of Qi, feminine variations, practitioner individuality, and the interconnection of physical, emotional and spiritual transformation.
My study and practice of transformative and healing arts began when I was 15. Yoga gave me the foundation, not just to survive my teen years, but to open to transformation. Throughout my 20-year technology career, I continued my yoga study. When I met Master Yun Xiang Tseng (Wu Dang Chen) in 2002, the Tao called deeply to me and my studies shifted to the Taoist practices of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, energy healing, Taoist meditation and alchemy, and Chinese medical massage.
As I progress in my practice and study, the importance of Presence and cultivation of original spirit (Xing) has become more and more evident. I teach Presence practices and Xing cultivation to complement physical and meditation practices (Ming cultivation.)
