How Tai Chi Heals.
Learn the science behind the ancient practice, then use it to optimize your body's own healing. Whether you're managing chronic illness, back pain, or the everyday weight of stress, the root is the same - a relationship out of balance, waiting to be restored.
"The Body is designed to heal and Tai Chi serves to restore relationships throughout your body. I'm far from a master or doctor of anything I teach in this course. Just sharing my acquired abilities and helping others discover and awaken their body's natural ability to heal at levels never thought possible."

THE MECHINISUM
Why it works.
Tai Chi isn't mystical, it's physiological. Slow, intentional movement trains the autonomic nervous system the way weightlifting trains a muscle. It creates an environment that allows for reconciliation via mending relationships between: mind and body; movement and stillness; self and the present moment. As systems begin to peacefully dance in unison, the body remembers how to heal.
i.
The Vagus Nerve is stimulated
Resolving Cognitive Dissonance, having peace in your Spirit, and becoming a curious observer of your own Physiology as you actively release, all serve to stimulate, awaken, re-set, and optimize the Nervous system — your body's master brake on stress, inflammation, and the chronic "fight or flight" that keeps symptoms locked in.
ii.
The Parasympathetic & Sympathetic balance
Within moments of proper practice, your complex system of systems begins to naturally balance from hypo or hyper sympathetic and/or parasympathetic states to homeostasis where basic functions like rest-and-digest, heart rate, breath, immune function, and energy resume and optimize.
iii.
The Body self-regulates
Over time, the autonomic system recalibrates. The further you develop your "listening", the more you hear. What began as a daily practice becomes a baseline state that can be invoke with a thought at any time. The body no longer needs the "how to" reminder, it now has experience to draw from. Returning it to this state becomes intuitive and second nature. The Mind Body and Spirit are in harmony.

"So delighted to see Peppi sharing Tai Chi with the world."
DR GAYL HUBATCH OMD, LAc · ACUPUNCTURIST; QI GONG and TAI CHI EASY HEAD INSTRUCTOR
"After a long and deep dive into a studying of the Mind and Spirit connection as he understands it, I did one private live class via zoom with him. Then I just started applying the principals to my daily walk around the lake... my preferred "modality" as he likes to call it. Later that year my severe autoimmune disorder went into full remission. My doctors of 20 years were absolutely speechless. They took me off all my meds and feel like I got my life back. Just took a job at a garden center doing physical work again"
"As a floral designer, there was a time my wrists got so bad that I had to seek medical help. After running tests, the doctor diagnosed it as carpal tunnel and scheduled me for surgery. I began listening to Peppi's story and agreed to learn some exercises after work and practiced leading up to my next doctors appointment. In a matter of days the pain was GONE! Never ended up needing the surgery! Now I better understand how to listen to my body and give it what it's needs to heal on it's own."
CRYSTAL · FORMER COWORKER
"I used to watch my mother practice Tai Chi every morning as a child in China. I am so happy to know that it's never too late to learn Tai Chi! I can feel the chi, like a fire, in my belly every time we train."
ANN · STUDENT
ANGELA G. · STUDENT & SISTER
"My entire adult life I suffered from back pain and went to an amazing chiropractor. The treatments would always work but the pain would eventually come back because of a stressful event. When my beloved Chiropractor moved, I was devastated. But, after reconnecting with and eventually marring Peppi, I now know how to manage it myself on the spot. It's been the greatest gift. Traditional Tai Chi is not for me but his simple exercises and mental approach to self-healing let'sme manage my back pain on my own now.
SUSANNA B · WIFE
"I am clinically blind and often feel off balance when walking my dog but after every class I feel like I am floating across the pavement and my fear of walking goes away. My feet feel more grounded."
ANONYMOUS · STUDENT
"In the beginning I could not lift my right arm very high due to a clavicle surgery I had some 30 years ago. Then one class it just released! I haven't lifted my arm that high comfortably in ages."
GLORIA · STUDENT
"Peppi has a substantial level of gong fu. I always recommend him to teach classes wherever there is a need."
MARK T. · TAI CHI TEACHER
"Dr. Wayne gives us a magnificent and useful contribution for the betterment of our health and well-being through the proper integration of Tai Chi into our lives."
