About The Senior Teacher - Anita Mason
Born into a Yorkshire farming community, my respect for the elements was almost inherent. So was my survival instinct.
I had two passions, firstly, an obsession for sport, secondly, a deep appreciation of nature.
An appetite for challenge, a natural agility and a perfectionist nature steered me to the world of gymnastics. Unfortunately, my life as a talented, young gymnast was short lived, as a bad fall left me with a severe spinal injury. Consultants advised the termination of all sport, so, I reluctantly pursued a career in art & design. It wasn’t so bad! The art nurtured the spiritual expressionist in me. The design constantly nourished the problem solver and presented me with new and exciting challenges.
As my career developed, the sheltered life of a farming village became substituted by the hustle and bustle of the city - London, and later, New York. More opportunities were available to explore, more cultures to appreciate.
Along my journey I came across T’ai Chi Ch’uan. The British T’ai Chi Ch’uan Association in London became home as I received most of my training there. In addition, I studied Medical Qigong (TCM) with Barbara Briner and Taya Stanley from America. Both Barbara and Taya are respected students of Grand Master Jerry Johnson, a practicing TCM Doctor and Professor of Medical Qigong Therapy.
I have invested much in Chinese medicine systems. Not surprisingly I also developed a respect for the holistic philosophy. I am no longer the physical victim of former years. My incentive was the desire to improve my quality of life. Determination and patience helped me to arrive at my destination. My spine strengthened and became more flexible. My health in general prospered.
My mission is to make T’ai Chi Ch’uan and Medical Qigong available to everyone; patients as well as all practitioners who dedicate their lives to helping others and spend so little time on themselves. Over the last 20 years I have taught many disability groups, cancer patients, M.E., M.S. and Parkinsons' patients and spearheaded Falls Prevention projects with the NHS and Social Services. My Cert. Ed. (PCE) teaching qualification from Wolverhampton University will enable me to train practitioners to a very high standard. All I ask is that people keep an open mind. There are so many aspects to T’ai Chi Ch’uan and Medical Qigong that I am convinced there is something in this fascinating system for everyone. It can be fun finding it! I don’t enforce my views. My passion is simply sharing my knowledge.
