About Dr. Roger Jahnke
Creator of Tai Chi Easy™

Dr. Jahnke Tai Chi Easy CreatorRoger Jahnke, OMD, the creator of Tai Chi Easy™, is a doctor of Chinese Medicine with 30 years of clinical practice plus 45 years of combined Qigong (Chi Kung) and Tai Chi (Taiji) experience. Dr. Jahnke is author of The Healer Within(Harper San Francisco, 1999) used in body/mind programs worldwide. His most recent book, The Healing Promise of Qi (McGraw-Hill, 2002) has become an instant classic in the western literature on Qigong and Tai Chi.

Dr. Jahnke is director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi and serves as a consultant to hospitals, social service agencies, and corporations in Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CAM / IM), wellness, and medical cost reduction.

In 2005, Dr. Jahnke was appointed to co-convene a National Expert Meeting on Qi Gong and Tai Chi in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the National Blueprint for Active Aging. The panel of experts agreed that the major challenge to the wide dissemination of these profound practices has been the exclusive dependence on masters or experts to transmit the teachings.

For community based programs to proliferate the benefits of Qi Gong and Tai Chi, it was determined that lay leaders and peer practice leaders must be trained in the fundamentals of Qi Gong and Tai Chi to create a wider entry level to the practices.

Student Testimonials

"It is the mark of a skillful teacher when a student can go home and practice on her own what she has been taught in such a few hours. Since I returned home, I have had a fine time beginning to incorporate our weekend's teachings and some material from both your books into my daily life. I find your second book, The Healing Promise of Qi, particularly delightful. It is a fine balance of diverse types of information, compellingly organized and attractively presented. A pleasure! I look forward to studying with you again."
-- Metta Winter, Ithaca, NY, Omega Institute, July 2005

"The best money I have ever spent!"
-- Doreen Black, Qigong and Tai Chi Teacher, Certified by the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi, 2003

"Excellent seminar--I plan to use this information to teach my patients effective and simple Qigong."
-- Doctor of Chinese Medicine, AOMAlliance Annual Conference participant, May 2004

"I just finished The Healing Promise of Qi. It is wonderful! It took me several months to read it, and I feel as if I should begin to read it again right away. It took me so long to read because I stopped and learned and practiced the exercises.... I felt Qi-led to study it. The e-mail today from your assistant Rhonda is another example of the wonders of Qi. I was thinking last night, after I finished the book, about writing to thank Dr. Jahnke today. Now you have given me the opportunity. Thanks forbeing Qi-tuned. I want to let Dr. Jahnke know that from my humble perspective he is "right on" when he talks about the infinite possibilities if Qigong. I am glad to be among those who realize the value of this simple practice,not so much for personal peace, although it is wonderful, but for the opportunity to "see how well we will use these tools to consciously determine and pursue our preferred future." My preferred future is Peace, and I know it is established in every human Heart/Mind. The Qi will bring it into conscious Being. Peace to you, Dr. Jahnke and all the members of your group."
-- Sally W., Reader and Subscriber FeeltheQi.com Email List, 2004

"I used your video program following a risky bowel surgery even though I could not stand or even sit up for several days. I could feel the internal healing benefits as I imagined doing the practices lying in the hospital bed. It seemed as if Qi was transmitting from the television screen."
-- China trip participant and resident of Charleston, VA, 1999

"I love this video. It is like having Dr. Jahnke as a practice buddy, right in my own home. The practices are so easy that I feel comfortable doing them in the park nearby."
-- M.L., Florida, 2000

-- Wisdom Television, 2001

-- The Store at Canyon Ranch Spa

"I purchased Dr. Jahnke's video program and a copy of The Healer Within for each of my 8 grandchildren. I am committed to doing my part to have my family be involved in solving America's health care system problems."
-- California Grandmother, age 79, 2002

"Roger demystifies complex material and encourages us to adapt and extend the practice. His lessons are easy to follow but not just simplistic...accessible, informal, inspiring and funny. He has a knack for simplifying complex concepts...across dynasties and decades of political transformation...into the powerful Qigong practices that are relevant today. I left with a buzz of bliss and the encouragement to continue the practice because it's such a powerful tool in preventative and longevity medicine.
--Thomas Wittenberg, Athens, GA, Omega Institute at Sueno Azul, Costa Rica, 2004

"This workshop was the perfect combination of spirituality and science. Nothing has made spirituality come alive for me quite as much as this session with Roger Jahnke. Roger has a great respect for the individual and was able to address difficult concepts and health issues well."
-- Participant, Esalen Institute, June 2003

"Qigong content and instruction in Roger Jahnke's workshop and video learning programs were outstanding in every respect and presented with joy and humor."
-- Gene Box, Seal Beach, CA, Esalen Institute, June 2003

" I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge and energy with the world. I think your are doing great work in educating and teaching others of the healing benefits of "Chi" (cosmic energy). Thank you."
--Sifu Gary Tong, Kennesaw, GA, Tai Chi and Chi KungTeacher
