Sonja Jukic

I was born in Split, Croatia in 1971.
During past 13 years I have been intensely involved in traditional Chinese spiritual disciplines: Taijiquan, Qigong, Chinese calligraphy, Chinese language, Shiatsu massage (stems from Traditional Chinese medicine) and Craniosacral therapy. All these skills have the same basic principles that challenge and change our preconceived and learned old ways: we become silent in order to hear and notice, we stand still in order to properly move, we practise softly and slowly in order to become strong and fast. And all these skills have the same benefits, they are practical philosophy that change us on all levels – physical, energy, mind and spiritual level. I have been to China twice perfecting Qi gong, Taijiquan and Chinese calligraphy, and have been teaching it since.
