World Tai Chi Qigong Day

Join Sifu Restita DeJesus to celebrate World Tai Chi Qigong day on April 26, 2025! This event is free and all-skill levels are welcome!

World Tai Chi Qigong Day is Saturday April 26th, 2025: 10:00 AM local time, all around the world.  (Seattle 10:00 AM Pacific Time). 

Join Tai Chi Instructor Restita DeJesus for a Free Tai Chi and breathing exercise practice at the beautiful Seattle Chinese Garden Courtyard, located at South Seattle Community College in West Seattle.   6000 16th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98106

No experience necessary, all experience levels, abilities, and all ages welcome.

World Tai Chi Qigong Day has been observed around the globe since 1999. Restita DeJesus has held yearly free events in the Puget Sound area since then. For the past 11 years it has held it at the Seattle Chinese Garden.  This beautiful serene setting has been the most requested venue. After the practice, feel free to roam the gardens.

This is a free event, however donations to the Garden are much welcomed. Donations to the Seattle Chinese Garden can be made on site or by going to the website at https://www.seattlechinesegarden.org/

World Tai Chi and Qigong Day's stated goals are to:

  1. Educate the world about emerging medical research revealing health benefits that t'ai chi ch'uan and qigong offer.

  2. Educate about the increasing use of these ancient traditional Chinese medicine modalities in business, healthcare, education, penal and drug rehabilitation.

  3. Provide a global vision of cooperation for health & healing purposes across geopolitical boundaries, and also an appeal to people worldwide to embrace wisdom from all the cultures of the world.

  4. Thank the Chinese culture for the gifts of tai chi and qigong to the world.
