Tai Chi Easy & Integral Qigong Leader

Kevin first taught my Wife and I Tai Chi Easy in 2014. Kevin then inspired me to become a Tai Chi Easy Practice Leader, and is now preparing me with Level I Integral Qigong Leader certification. With these skills I can attend a Level II Integral Tai Chi Teacher training with Dr. Jahnke. Through my time with Kevin I have found him to be informative, supportive and inspirational. I feel as though Kevin has a genuine interest in helping all of his students. For me, Kevin's advice, training, and counsel have provided me with both the path and the sign posts that are guiding my journey into the amazing world of Integral Tai Chi Easy and Medical Qi Gong.

Kevin Merrigan, Founder of Orlando Tai Chi + Quigong

My goal is to share health and wellness with as many people as possible. Tai Chi Easy has brought countless benefits into my own life, and I want anyone in the Orlando area who is interested to try one of my free classes. No matter what state of health you are in, you can practice Tai Chi Easy, even while sitting down.
