Sabine
Meet the woman who started it all!
Sabine is originally from South Tyrol in Northern Italy and has been living in New Zealand since 2007. Over the years, she taught a variety of disciplines in different places, and during her 12 years in Wellington, she ran a Pilates studio where she taught both Pilates and Qigong.
After moving to rural Waitati in 2019 and then to Brighton in 2025, she is enjoying a quieter lifestyle. She loves being able to share her lifelong teaching experience and passion for what she does with the local community.
Since beginning online classes and private sessions via Zoom in 2020, she has been able to support people all over the world. She is passionate about everything she offers, because she loves helping people. It’s a joy for her to support others on all levels—body, mind, and heart.
She has completed Yuan Tze’s:
- 6 Year Teacher Training to qualify as Master of Yuan Gong Qigong & Ren Xue

Claire
Meet the woman who runs the comms!
Claire has been practising Qigong since 2013 after meeting Yuan Tze.
She has completed Yuan Tze's Ren Xue:
- 6 year teacher training to qualify as a Master of Yuan Gong Qigong & Ren Xue.
From a very young age, Claire was interested in self-realisation. The death of her husband in 2009 gave her an insight into the true nature of reality, although she didn't fully understand it at the time. Claire has been studying Ren Xue for over 10 years and loves that Ren Xue offers an effective way for all of us to realise the Self, which makes her committed to doing the hard work on herself and helping others.
