Overview and Philosophy
Body & Brain Healing Yoga & Tai Chi is a holistic wellness center in Ottawa that integrates yoga, tai chi, qi gong, and meditation to address body, mind, spirit, and life energy (qi). The approach is grounded in three energy principles: the mind directs energy and shapes reality; optimal energetic balance involves a cool head, open chest, and warm abdomen; and body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. Classes emphasize energy flow, vibration, and breathing to restore harmony. The center draws on Chun-Ji-In philosophy from the Chun-Bu-Kyung—an ancient Korean text—which views heaven, earth, and humans as one. This framework informs the training, aiming to help practitioners achieve physical strength, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. The Ottawa location serves as a hub for those seeking mind-body healing through traditional energy practices.
Classes and Workshops
The center offers a variety of classes, including yoga, tai chi, qi gong, and brain meditation, focused on energy circulation and breathwork. Sessions vary daily—featuring detox yoga, tai chi, and more—to engage different muscle groups and quiet the mind. In addition to regular classes, a series of workshops deepens the practice. Member Basic Education Trainings are held monthly, teaching foundational energy principles. Mini-workshops introduce core philosophies and prepare participants for advanced programs. The Awakening series includes Awakening Mastership (connecting mind to body via the Dahn-jon energy center), Awakening True Nature (exploring emotional mastership and true self), and Awakening True Life (harmonizing with others). Instructor training courses—Chun-Ji-In Yoga Instructor Training and Chun-Ji-In Tai Chi & Qi Gong Instructor Training—teach energy, breathing, and meditation principles for brain mastery and self-discipline. These programs emphasize practical tools for emotional healing, stress management, and daily application.

The center also engages in community activities, such as volunteering and environmental initiatives, reflecting its mission to heal beyond the individual.
