Internal Martial Arts
Train traditional Tai Chi Chuan, Ba Gua Zhang, Xingyi, and Yiquan – internal martial arts that develop balance, softness, and inner power. These practices help align posture, calm the mind, and awaken energy flow through the fascia and connective tissues.
Qigong & Meditation
Explore medical and martial qigong for self-healing, energy development, and emotional regulation. Daoist breathwork and meditation techniques realign subtle systems and support resilience in daily life. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Silat & Eskrima (Southeast Asian Martial Arts)
Silat (from Malaysia) and Eskrima (from the Philippines) offer fluid, adaptable movement for real-world self-defence. These arts include empty-hand techniques, footwork, and weapons training to build coordination, awareness, and body mechanics.
Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku)
Reconnect with nature through guided mindfulness walks in the Byron Bay hinterland. Forest bathing reduces stress, restores attention, and helps you feel grounded. These sessions combine breathwork, sensory awareness, and nature-based meditation.
“Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of Radiant Heart Qigong. I've done it a couple of times and it truly feels amazing! I love Qigong and have been searching for a simple practice to help keep my energy balanced and stay healthy as I age.”
“I was a little stressed when I arrived late, but this tension soon faded during our guided forest bathing with a cleanse in the creek. I felt really relaxed and connected to myself and the trees. One of the best things to do on a Saturday morning!”
“Aimo is very calm. He makes me feel comfortable. He explains things simply. He takes things slowly at the right pace. He is patient and gentle and makes you feel like you can do it.”
“Aimo had a friendly yet professional approach, like you'd expect from a Taoist breathing teacher—calm, relaxed and down to earth. The session was calming, relaxing, meditative, and very informative.”
