Taiji (Taichi)
At our studio, Taiji is not simply a martial art or a physical practice—it is a path for the integrated cultivation of body, mind, and inner energy (Qi).
Each student begins their Taiji journey with a specialized assessment, enabling us to design a personalized training path aligned with their individual goals, abilities, and needs. The curriculum is rooted in foundational principles such as structural alignment, conscious breathing, coordinated movement, and deep internal force awareness.
Qigong
Qigong is an inner journey—a path to revitalizing the flow of vital energy and achieving full harmony between breath, movement, and mind.
The training process begins with comprehensive, individualized assessments, based on which a personalized program is designed for each practitioner. The practice includes Medical Qigong, traditional Qigong systems, Neigong (internal energy training), and both standing and seated meditation.
Yoga
At our studio, Yoga is a return to the authentic roots of this ancient wisdom—while being thoughtfully adapted to each practitioner’s individual needs.
We begin the journey with in-depth assessments to gain a deep understanding of each person’s needs, capacities, and goals. Based on this insight, a fully personalized program is developed.
Lifestyle Design
At our studio, Ayurveda is not merely a traditional healing system—it is a path toward cultivating a conscious, balanced lifestyle in harmony with one’s innate nature.
The journey begins with a detailed consultation and assessment by qualified Ayurvedic practitioners, through which each person’s constitutional type (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti) are carefully evaluated.
Health & Recovery
Programs for improving sleep, reducing stress, regulating emotions, and restoring vital energy — with a focus on specific groups such as the elderly, corporate employees, and individuals with functional disorders.

Compensatory Release Valves and Inner Order in Yoga, Qigong, and Taijiquan
Compensatory Release Valves and Inner Order in Yoga, Qigong, and Taijiquan In the classical body–mind traditions, movement has never been an end in itself.

Calm in the Midst of the Storm: I’m Niloufar Bolouri, and I was introduced to Tai Chi Chuan during the difficult days of the COVID pandemic—when the world had gone quiet and hearts were unsettled.
