CF019478Nanda Bedepuszta augustus 2019 kopie

I’m Nanda and

I am a qualified Tai Chi Chuan teacher of the ITCCA original Yang Style since 2004. (ITCCA: International Tai Chi Chuan Association.)

My experience encompasses Qi Gong, dynamic and standing still: Healing Sounds, 8 Brocades, Tai Chi Shibashi, 5 Spirit Qi Gong, 5 Element Qi Gong, and several more Qi Gong exercises, as well as Taoist relaxation exercises.

And of course, in this package of Qi Gong also: Taoistic based meditation, Qi-self massage & acupressure, Yin Yoga, Dao Yin and different kind of breathing techniques. 

 

I have i.e. knowledge of TCM, 5 Elements and YinYang philosophy. This combined with my paramedic profession as a Kinetic Therapist (Mensendieck: specialist in posture and movement patterns) gives me a broad knowledge in the field of body and mind.

 

Being a Tai Chi Chuan & Qi Gong student and teacher for so many years, concentrating foremost on one style and lineage, gives really depth to your practise and feeling of Qi. I’m more than grateful to my Grandmaster Chu King Hung and special teachers (Andreas Heyden & Matin Klett) of the ITCCA, for sharing their experience and knowledge of this beautiful art. 

 

A little more about me: my twenties I spend traveling around the world, in my early thirties I met my now husband and did some more traveling, my forties I started my first official study (Oefentherapie Mensendieck), and in my fifties we decide to move (2019) from main city Amsterdam, to the countryside in Hungary where I live amidst nature. A beautiful decision where my foremost teacher is nature herself. 

 

When it has to do with movement & energy, I just have a passion for it

Experience more outlined

Tai Chi Chuan, Qi Gong, Yin Yoga and Dao Yin are based on Taoism philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Tai Chi Chuan 

Besides the form of Tai Chi Chuan and the in-depth steps of this form, learning Tai Chi also includes Meditation – Qi Gong – Taoisti (Qi) self massage, Pushing Hands, Fighting Form, Broad Sword, Sword. When you learn Tai Chi Chuan, you learn all these as well.

All teachers follow a curriculum created by Master Chu King Hung (the leader of the ITCCA) and take private lessons with him annually. Only then do the teachers obtain his permission to teach. I have permission to teach the Original Yang style Tai Chi Chuan Form, the immersive Steps, Fighting Form, Pushing Hands and Sword Form. Besides attending private classes with Master Chu each year, I take intensive courses and take part in retreats organised both by Master Chu and Andreas Heyden (disciple of Master Chu,  ITCCA Köln).  This training regimen continues to deepen my experience of and feeling for Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong, so that I may pass these on to my students. 
 Qi Gong 
Aside from the Qi Gong learned  within the ITCCA , I have experience in several other Qi Gong-forms as mentioned above.
Yin Yoga
  • Yin Yoga teacher training – Chinese medicine, Meridian Nidra, Hip Anaotmy – Jo Phee
  • Yin Fascial Yoga, myofascia release, 5-elementen Qi Gong  – Beta Lisboa & Sai Calder
  • (partly) Yin Yoga teacher training – Miriam Wagner
  • Myofascia Release & Yin Yoga – Esther Scheen
  • Adjusting Yin poses workshop – Jose de Groot
  • 5-Element Dao Yin Sai Calder
Qualified Kinetic Therapist Mensendieck: specialist in posture and movement patterns 

And of course during my lifespan I have followed more than one courses related to body and mind, i.e. Dharma Ocean, Anatomy Trains, Cranio,  Mindfulness training Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield, Gua Sha, and so on….. and the road is still unfolding. 

 

….if I believe in anything, it is that the body is so much wiser than the mind
(or at least how we use it)…… Nanda .
