Watering the roots workshop - 5-6 November 2016 in Sydney
A two-day workshop presented by John Hartley, Founder and Head Instructor of Inner Health Taijiquan.
In this two-day intensive John presented his in-depth understanding of the core principles and practices of Taijiquan for strengthening and rejuvenating internal energy. The workshop was designed to impart the foundational Taoist practices that John has collated and developed through his vast experience over many years in Taijiquan, Chi Kung and Zhan Zhuang.
