This class is taught by:
Richie Roche
With some background in related arts, it was in the late 1990’s that Richie was first exposed to qigong and started a journey pursuing both qigong and tai chi that continues to this day. After studying with several different teachers, it was around 2001 that he had the great good fortune to encounter Master William Ting and become his student, which he remained until his passing in December of 2023. Ritchie was honored to be selected by Master Ting as one of a small group of students that he chose to train as teachers and spent many years in his teacher's class, becoming one of the people that he featured on his website as certified to teach his style of wujijinggong tai chi and qigong.
Ritchie's teaching career started around the time he first met Master Tin.

For 20 years he was the head of the qigong and tai chi program at Deerfield Spa, as well as teaching some classes at other local locations throughout the area including ESU and lecturing and teaching at the library and at PEEC. His favorite place to teach has been at The Yoga House in Stroudsburg, and after some health challenges, he is just delighted to return there to teach in 2024.
Peace and blessings.
A beautiful meditative practice where we use our relaxed attention to allow the breath, the mind and the qi or energy to naturally evolve and settle deep and low in the body. With this practice we can grow toward true constant deep abdominal breathing. It is an ideal practice for anyone involved in any internal art, be it qigong, yoga, tai chi or for that matter anyone who breathes. This workshop will last between 60 to 90 minutes and some additional seated material may be presented. There will be a 6-week session of weekly qigong / tai chi classes starting Monday 6/3 at 10:30 am for $100. Anyone purchasing the session of classes may attend the workshop as a guest. The classes are also open for walk in participation at $20 per class. Please scroll down for more info. ***Contact Richie to register: Richie 570 994-5386 / [email protected]
