In Toni’s words…
I have been studying Tai Chi and Qigong since 1997 with Master Sifu Jerry Gardner, who was the co-owner of Red Lotus School of Movement in Salt Lake City, Utah. In January 2009, I became a Sifu, as well, and I am now recognized as Sifu Toni. Sifu is pronounced “see-fu” and means teacher. With this title, I vowed to share, teach and practice Tai Chi and Qigong for the rest of my life. (Yes, I love it that much!)
I was a staff member for eight years at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, where I taught both modalities to patients, caregivers and staff. WE shared in the joy of letting go and being in the present moment (where there is no stress), which can be healing in and of itself for all of us.
Throughout the year I lead community Qigong events and teach Tai Chi in a six-week series.
Employers hire me to share Qigong as part of their company retreat, or an hour break during the week for their employees and themselves. Companies are realizing the benefits of bringing wellness to their staff.
I also do private sessions for those who would like a more individualized curriuculum.
I find that both of these practices are meant for each of us to have our own direct experience, of slowing down, breathing, and the feeling of being present. You can read all about the benefits of these art forms on the internet, but there is no comparison, to when one actually does it, and begins to feel the benefits for themselves.
If you would like to learn more about these practices, I share all things Qi (chi) on my website, ChiMoments.com.
