TAO YIN [GENTLE WAY]
Tao Yin [Gentle Way] has a long and well-documented history in China. This style of Yoga was made popular by the Monks of Shaolin Temple and the Priests of Wu Dang Mountain, who without fail, practiced Tao Yin before engaging in their particular martial art forms.
According to the Nei Ching [Classical Book of Chinese Internal Medicine], Tao Yin is the third of the five components of TCM [Traditional Chinese Medicine]. The full translation of Tao Yin is: A series of gentle and natural dance-like movements designed to balance and conduct the blood [xue] and bio-electricity [chi] throughout the body. Chinese Yoga has evolved throughout the millennia to enable the practitioner to have a faster, more dynamic healing and awakening experience.
Master Teasley is one of only a few Masters in the United States capable and authorized to teach this system.
