Instructor Training 

Deepen your lineage with 20 years of five-element philosophy. We provide the professional certification and movement mastery required to become a true Tai Chi instructor.

Currently offering the most comprehensive training in the UK

Tai Chi and Qigong are time-honoured movement practices that offer profound benefits for physical health, mental wellbeing, and quality of life. Rooted in traditional Chinese principles yet fully relevant to modern lifestyles, Tai Chi and Qigong develop balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility while also calming the nervous system and improving focus and emotional resilience.

Research increasingly supports its effectiveness for reducing stress, improving posture and mobility, enhancing confidence, and supporting long-term health across all ages and abilities.

 

These teacher training courses are designed for those who wish to deepen their own practice and share Tai Chi and Qigong in a safe, inclusive, and meaningful way, equipping future instructors with both practical teaching skills and a clear understanding of how they both support wellbeing in real-world settings.

Our Services

The Lineage

Our school is dedicated to preserving and passing on the authentic traditions of Yang-style Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin (Eight Brocades) and 5-Element Qi Gong through a lineage built on more than 20 years of dedicated teaching and practice.

This is more than an instructor training programme, it is an opportunity to become part of a living tradition. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you'll develop not only technical excellence but also a deep understanding of the principles, philosophy, and energy cultivation that have made these arts enduring practices for generations.

Our comprehensive training blends the flowing precision of Yang-style Tai Chi with the restorative power of the Qigong, giving you the confidence, knowledge, and practical teaching skills to become a certified instructor. As you progress, you'll gain an appreciation of the Yin/Yang, Five Elements, structure, breathwork, mindful movement, and the timeless values that underpin these internal arts, including the philosophy, history and culture in which these arts were born and developed. 

Graduates leave with more than a professional qualification. They become custodians of an authentic lineage, equipped to teach with integrity, preserve tradition, and inspire others to discover the lifelong physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

Dao Lu made me realise that I really want to teach others Tai Chi, and it gave me the tools, structure, and confidence to actually do it. The course is awesome and has genuinely helped me take that next step from practice into teaching. The course is Awesome.

As a breathwork practitioner running workshops and retreats, this training was exactly what I needed. Qigong and Tai Chi are now a valuable addition to my toolkit offering clients mindful, gentle movement without the need for a yoga mat. The course was professional, fun, and I met some wonderful people along the way. Highly recommend Dao Lu.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dao Lu. The instructors Neil and Glen have over 80 years experience between them and are committed to helping you grow and succeed. I really enjoyed the 200 hours over 12 months with in-person training in a dedicated studio covering theories, practical learning and certification. I’ve met some wonderful people, advanced my practice, deepened my knowledge and grown my teaching skills.
