Tao Motion was created by Gabrielle more than 25 years ago. After so many years learning from Mantak Chia and Juan & Renu Li, her goal is to share the experience of her own study. Her priority is to embrace our own humanity, to connect with others, inquire and exchange experiences deep from our hearts. All the exercises, ideas, practices and meditations are deeply connected with the natural flow of life, which is always changing. The roots are the TAO (pronounced Dao) which is a living philosophy and is more than 2500 years old. The roots of the Tao are found more than 5000 years ago. For Gabrielle the main message of the Tao is, to open your heart and embrace life with all it's facets. The main practices of Tao Motion are originated by the Universal Tao, Master Mantak Chia or are inspired from her Teacher Juan Li and others. Since 2014 Gabrielle started to present her own exercise creations, which she calls: Tao Motion practice. On this website all the workshops are taught by Gabrielle, unless specified. Tao Motion and the Universal Tao are complete systems of physical healing and personal development, which incorporates a number of practices including Qigong, Tao Yoga and Tai Chi.
