117 Ancient Teachings in a Modern World with Sifu Rubia

Our guest today is Sifu Rubia, who practices and teaches Tai Chi and Qi Gong.  The word sifu is Cantonese for teacher.  Rubia is the founder of Wei Wu Tai Chi, where she provides her students with the tools to maintain health, rejuvenate their bodies and recapture youthful energy and equanimity in their lives.

We veer off-road a bit in this conversation, going deep on how to connect with ancient practices in our modern world.

Here’s what we cover:

• The elements of Tai Chi and Qi Gong practices;

• The benefits of these ancient practices;

• The role of technology in making these practices accessible;

• The potent combination of our practices and nature; and

• Words of wisdom for the beginner.

We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Rubia shares some of the things that are lighting her up these days.
