Testimonials

“Over the past three years of practicing Tai Chi I have witnessed a major shift in my life.

The awareness of my physical body has been tuned to the degree that I am able to exert myself without feeling as fatigued or strained and at the same time avoiding injury during all other activities.

The most profound effect that Tai chi has had on me is helping focus and calming my mind.
It has enabled me to become more alert, attentive and mindful.

Being guided by Dr Lan to keep in one has been a journey for me which he has done with great knowledge, patience and humbleness not to mention his unflagging encouragement.

It is an honour to be able to be taught by someone who lives the practices that he teaches and he is a wonderful enthusiastic mentor.

I can recommend Tai Chi and the teachings of Dr Lan to all and sundry because it is bound to have a positive effect on your whole life.”

Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner

“Dr Lan is a great teacher who exudes a confidence which is quite contagious. I really enjoy the classes at Jing-an and look forward to an hour or more everyday to refocus my intentions. I’ve found regular tai chi practice to be incredibly rewarding and a great companion to my yoga practice and rock climbing. It has strengthened my focus, balance and determination immensely. I am very happy to have finally started tai chi after many years of procrastination and would recommend anyone who has considered tai chi to give it go and start reaping the rewards tai chi and Jing-an have to offer.”

Student

“I have been a student of Dr Michael Lan since 2004. At that time I was involved in framing & an art gallery. Dr Lan was highly recommended when I enquired into learning more about the internal side of Tai Chi.

I have not looked back, going on to study my instructor’s in Tai Chi, learning Qi Gong & then Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have subsequently qualified as a practitioner.

Tai Chi has taught me to keep in one, it has become a way of life. It goes beyond a philosophy, an art, physical well-being, vitality…it encompasses all. It balances all aspects of being; physical, mental, emotional & spiritual. It is the most perfect construct, which as it unfolds always holds an answer to any question. It teaches inner stillness, or wuchi. This is accumulative, so the more you practice, the more you gain.

As an artist, Tai Chi is an endless source of inspiration to me. I find I work faster, handle stress better & enjoy each process to its fullest.
