Who Is The Instructor?

Michael Phillips has been teaching Chi Kung since 1982, in classes, seminars, and private instruction, both nationally and internationally. He taught Tai Chi in Tucson from 1977 - 2006.

Michael has been certified as an Instructor by the famous Taoist teacher and author, Master Mantak Chia; Master Chia is the author of several best- selling books on Chi Kung, the most well-known being, "Awaken Healing Energy". Mr. Phillips has been awarded three separate Teacher's Certificates by Master Chia giving him the authority to teach a wide variety of Chi Kung movement systems.

Michael has taught Chi Kung at Sierra Tucson, the rehabilitation center second in renown only to the Betty Ford Clinic for its' work in helping celebrities, and others, deal with their various addictions and reclaim a sense of balance in their lives. Mr Phillips also created a Chi Kung program for the launching of Miraval, the popular destination resort and spa in Catalina, and has taught at other world-famous retreats, such as the Enchantment resort in Sedona, Arizona.

Demand for private instruction is such that he has decided to offer his Chi Kung to the public at large. This will make Michael's teaching more accessible to the general Tai chi and Chi Kung community, enabling you to have world-class instruction at your convenience.

If you have an established school and wish to host a workshop, please contact Mr. Phillips for an interview. Instruction of any sort is offered only after completing the interview process. Keeping the best interests of students in mind, Mr. Phillips is only interested in long term, stable teaching relationships.
