The Corporate Wellness and Health Program
"We hosted Master Dao in our office for two stretch therapy sessions focusing on spinal, hip decompression, and joint optimization. We had 20 participants ranging in age from 24 to 71 with various physical conditions.
The workshop was very fun, unique, and very effective. We all felt the physical relief and improvement in our postures almost immediately!
Most of us felt a great sense of release in our lower back and shoulders that were very tight and achy due to having desk jobs. This was very empowering.
I received a lot of positive feedback on his unique teaching style. He demonstrates professionalism, understanding, and compassion for our physical limitation while offering solutions to counteract our sedentary lifestyle.
Everyone loved it and asked me to invite Master Dao back again which is exactly why we invited him for two more sessions!"

Employees are often sitting all day for 8 hours or more at the office. The lack of circulation and postural issues lead to a slowly growing physical problem. This is called atrophy. This then adds to the problem of stress and exhaustion from work. All this means increased likelihood of illness from flu and virus. Not only will this affect the efficiency at work, but also impact life at home.
It begins with some pain or discomfort in the hips, back, neck, or knees. Months and years later, the pain continues to nag you. Perhaps you see a physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor, or get acupuncture once in a while to alleviate the symptoms. But it persists.
What if you could bring an interesting and special art into your office to alleviate and resolve these problems for everyone?
The Shaolin arts of Tai Chi, Qigong, Stretch Therapy, and Meditation provide such a means!
Your employees will surely feel grateful for you care and sincerity.
We can provide instructors at your office physically or by live streaming.
You can also arrange a workshop at our 5,000 square foot downtown Toronto facility.
Our instructors, students, and custoners will happily attest to the benefits of our exercises.
"I thoroughly enjoyed Master Dao’s introduction to Spinal decompression & joint optimization. It was nice to revisit my ‘senior dancer’ body in a focused and gentle way. Like muscle memory with positive redirection.
My hips haven’t felt this happy and free since I was dancing full time!
I think using the daily essentials going forward will help me continue my dance health and overall health going forward.
I was able to accept known idiosyncrasies about my body (crooked hips due to uneven legs and super-duper short hamstrings even after 55 yrs of dance) and move past them within the exercises. Honour and move on.
I used to love jazz and/or ballet floor bar and now with these essentials I can augment my joy – Also loved the connection of natural unforced breathe supporting the movement. Work with your own body and mind instead of an external ideal.
