International Institute Of Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong

In October 2007 Professor Zhang Guangde realised a long held dream with the opening of his International Institute of Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong.

The professor spends many weeks each year teaching in different parts of the world, but the opening of the Institute in Biarritz, France meant that, for a sustained period, twice a year, participants from all over Europe could benefit from his teaching as part of an international group.

Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Andre Perret, principal Teacher of Association Kunming in Biarritz, Professor Zhang, accompanied by his nephew and closest pupil Zhang Jian, have spent two weeks each October and April offering teaching in the practice and theory of all aspects of Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong.

Most importantly, the Institute has offered an opportunity to gain a unique teaching qualification - that of International Teacher of Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong, the only such qualification completely structured, taught and assessed by Professor Zhang Guangde himself. 2009 saw the first two graduates presented with their diplomas by Professor Zhang: Mark Atkinson and Andre Perret (see the Association News page).

This April Professor Zhang will be teaching at Biarritz for the last time, as he is to retire this year. However, the Institute continues with instruction given by Zhang Jian (see the Association News page).

As you will see from the programme, there is no obligation to attend the whole course or to take the teaching qualification. Indeed, apart from one or two modules, there is no requirement to have had any previous Dao Yin experience. It is therefore a great opportunity for anyone who wishes to improve their own ability and knowledge.
