Australia Dreaming
Tai Chi Qigong

AUSTRALIA DREAMING is a valuable resource for the teaching and learning of Tai Chi Qigong for Health as a safe and effective form of exercise using modern teaching techniques in accordance with evidence based, secular and scientific reasoning and a curriculum graded from beginners to advanced levels of expertise.

The emphasis in our Australia Dreaming is on providing a safe and effective form of exercise in accordance with modern ethical and legal duty-of-care requirements which affirm evidence based and secular reasoning and a scientific understanding of health and wellness issues. Our approach is not on a “One Size Fits All” but on safety factors, ethical, scientific and modern teaching principles in the transmission of knowledge about physical education.

We believe that our Australia Dreaming is about making a difference to the quality of learning, teaching and enhancing the capacity to learn. It is a valuable resource readily accessible to not only the tai Chi teacher in search of better ways of teaching Tai Chi for Health exercise programs, but to anyone who is looking to make a difference to their own personal health, fitness and wellbeing through the “magic” and “miracle of a modern Tai Chi for Health as being understood in terms of evidence based reasoning and practiced within a modern duty-of-care.
