Our Senior
Forest Rock Teachers
Emi Vizhanyo
Emi's Qigong journey started when she was recovering from a surgery that didn't go well. She was left with scars and excruciating pain that affected every aspect of her life. Since very early in her practice, she felt the self-healing qualities of Qigong and that led her through various practices from medical Qigong to the classical sets and to the newest addition, Taiji.
She believes Qigong is a simple path to feeling healthier, happier, and more vibrant.
Mark Beesley
Mark is trained in both classical and modern forms of Qigong with over 900 hours of teacher training experience through the Forest Rock Taiji and Qigong School. This has helped him to teach in a way that combines the Mental, Physical and Spiritual aspects of Qigong.
