David & Helena
We are David and Helena Petrović, private and business partners, parents of three sons and Qigong and Taijiquan instructors with more than 26 years of experience in teaching these energy methods, and we began our professional journey back in 1999 by founding the Tai Chi Club Pula (Tai Chi Pula), the first center in Istria specialized in practicing, teaching and popularizing Taijiquan and Qigong.
Since we very quickly expanded our activities to other Wushu disciplines, started groups for children and teenagers and started competing, we continued to operate as the Wushu Club Yuan Tong – Tai Chi Pula and during that period, we and our three sons and our members were multiple Croatian champions in Taiji and Wushu forms with and without weapons. At the same time, I, Helena, led yoga, neo-shamanic dance rituals, women’s circles, birth preparations and postpartum support within our association Gaia Kolektiv.
CROATIAN TAIJIQUAN QIGONG INSTITUTE
In 2020, we unified our (Tai Chi Pula and Gaia) activities, redefined priorities, singled out the most important ones for us, and today we are the leaders of the Croatian Taijiquan Qigong Institute, an association for the systematic, thorough and comprehensive study and teaching of Taijiquan, Qigong, for Qi therapy, Harmonization of the Qi Field, and also for the application and popularization of other energy methods.
Over more than three decades of studying, practicing and teaching various energy skills, we have educated ourselves not only in Qigong and Taijiquan and Chinese healing practices such as Tui Na and Hun Yuan Qi therapy, but also in skills from other traditions, such as: A Course in Miracles, Yoga, Reiki, neo-shamanic processes such as the Trance Dance ritual or the modern method of psychological-emotional support The Key to Compassion. Harmonization of the Qi Field is a kind of synthesis of our knowledge and our contribution to the evolution of spiritual healing.
Our approach is holistic and in practical work we apply compatible methods that do not exclude each other. We are pragmatic and choose proven techniques that give positive results and bring benefits to people, and for all those who want to learn more, we have prepared courses on individual skills and training programs with quality and qualified Qigong and Taijiquan instructors.
