Who we are

Javier grew up in San Antonio, Texas where he focused on Japanese Karate until he discovered traditional Chinese Martial Arts in his early 20s. He is a Disciple of Master Yang, Jwing-Ming and has completed a 10-year program, living and training full-time with Dr. Yang at his retreat center. He uses his training, also including yoga, to find ways to live life creatively and skillfully. You can find him in Northern California where he continues to train and teach.

Nona grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area as a meditator, dancer, and yoga practitioner.  She came to Taijiquan later in life, finding great benefit from its teachings and found her way into Qigong.  She has fallen in love with the practice as a way to self-heal/nurture, create self-discipline, and promote personal growth. She is seeking ways to inspire those who are new to Qigong and Taiji.
