Tai Chi harmoniously combines my interest in martial arts with my interest in meditation and spirituality. My early experiences with fighting were not characterized by aggression and fear, but allowed me to enter a state of stillness and quiet attention, which was not accessible to me for a long time through any forms of meditation.

In the Asian martial arts I hoped for answers, I had first contacts as a child with Judo. In Paris I discovered the Original Yang Style already in 1988, but in the course of time I tried other styles in parallel, among them Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun (WT) and Hsing I.

Only the special energetic instructions of the Original Yang Style gave me access to this stillness and inner power again.

  • I practice the Tai Chi of the International Tai Chi Chuan Association (ITCCA) since 1988
  • Since 1997 I have regular private lessons with Master Chu King Hung as an authorized teacher of the ITCCA.
  • 1997-2006 teaching in Vienna
  • 2006-2014 head of the ITCCA school in Steyr
  • Since 2014 head of the school Tai Chi Vienna.

Since my authorization as a teacher of the ITCCA in January 2000 by Master Chu I taught the Authentic Yang Style first in Vienna, from 2006 in Steyr/Upper Austria, from autumn 2014 in my own school in Vienna. The constant further education by Master Chu in private lessons and seminars guarantee constant further development.

After the difficult birth and the subsequent hospitalisation of my son, I was physically and nervously quite battered. In my search for a movement system that would give me peace and strength, I came across the Tai Chi Vienna School. Since then I have been practising Tai Chi several times a week with great pleasure and find it a wonderful exercise system for busy and full-time mothers. Tai Chi gives me lightness paired with stability and gives me energy for my everyday life. My whole family benefits from this as well 🙂

  • Since 2020: Training as a Tai Chi teacher at Tai Chi Vienna
