INTRODUCTION
My name is Kit. I am a Taoist Teacher and Qigong Master Instructor
Dao Ananda is about living with steadiness, clarity, and balance in a noisy world. I’ve spent over 15 years studying with Taoist Master Zhou Daoxuan, learning the philosophy and movement practices of Taoist living. I came to QiGong not from curiosity, but from necessity — after breaking my leg in three places, rehab wasn’t working. QiGong became my way forward when nothing else was helping, and it changed not just my recovery, but my entire life.
In those first months of practice, my body began to heal faster, my breath deepened, and the stress that had been my constant companion finally began to ease. Over the years, I discovered that the same principles that helped me walk again could also help others restore balance, strength, and calm — no matter their starting point.
Now it is my honor to help you heal, live well and THRIVE in all aspects of your life!
WELCOME!
