Elvira: Thi Chi Chuan
Entre le Taï-Chi-Chuan et moi, c’est une histoire d’amour passionnante qui a débuté en 1994. Réveillée et approfondie par mes professeurs Mijo Boulet-Crovetto, championne de France de Taï-Chi-Chuan et Phuc Van Nguyen, spécialiste de la forme de Maître Chen Man Ching et du Zhi Neng Qi-Gong. Très vite, cet art est devenu mon moyen de ressourcement et d’équilibre.
Le goût pour la philosophie orientale s’installant, j’ai étudié la Médecine Chinoise avec le Dr. Desportes et le Zhi Neng Qi-Gong avec Phuc Van Nguyen. Après 10 ans d’études du Taï-Chi-Chuan, je me suis lancée dans son enseignement il y a 8 ans. L’ouverture d’esprit est mon aspiration.
