Teacher Training Retreat | Riveria Maya | Mexico
January 9th - 14th 2025
This in person retreat isn’t just a lush get away in nature, but an opportunity to truly integrate all that you have learned during the online curriculum in a hands on experience.
Build your confidence as a teacher through practice and group activities.
Here is whats in store for you…
Community Building & Business Mentoring
The Guanjing Method has a business philosophy and methodology that emphasizes a holistic approach to entrepreneurship, integrating traditional Chinese wisdom with modern business practices while also adding in any additional unique gifts you have to share with the world.
Learning to build a successful GuanJing business through strategic thinking, ethical leadership, and a focus on long-term sustainability for your lifestyle & goals.
Participating in the Guanjing teacher training retreat is important for aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders as it offers an immersive environment for individuals to delve into self-reflection, gain a deeper understanding of the GuanJing principles, and learn from seasoned mentors.
We learn to foster our community and collaboration, allowing participants to network with like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights to enhance their business acumen.
Daily GuanJing Practice
As a GuanJing teacher, practicing daily is crucial for maintaining a balanced and strategic mindset.
It involves integrating ancient wisdom into daily decision-making- practicing daily keeps you connected with the core principles of the method, ensuring that you can effectively impart these principles to your students.
We immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature to allow the elements to reset and balance our rhythm while we move to the sequences we have so proudly refined over the past months.
Hands on Teaching & Adjustments
Learning hands-on adjustments in a Guanjing is crucial for a teacher as it enhances your ability to effectively and safely guide students, minimizing injury and pain.
These adjustments involve practical, and experiential learning, allowing teachers to fine-tune their teaching techniques, address individual needs, and provide personalized guidance. This hands-on approach fosters a deeper understanding of how to apply Guanjing principles in real-life scenarios, enabling teachers to better support and mentor their students on their health journey.
Overall, the hands-on adjustments acquired during the retreat contribute to the teacher's effectiveness in facilitating a more impactful experience for aspiring students.
Daily Nervous System Resets
Your energy is the most powerful form of currency you have.
Think of this as the ultimate opportunity to release and let go. Our nervous system is a memory bank of every life experience and trauma we have endured.
Through these movements, we regulate our nervous system-which acts as the command center, coordinating and controlling all body functions. The movements are essential to maintain healthy nerve function and prevent stagnation.
Regular practice of GuanJing stimulates the nervous system, enhancing its efficiency and promoting the release of neurotransmitters that positively impact mood and cognition.
It also strengthens neural connections, improving coordination and motor skills. This included with sound baths allows all of us to release and relax.
PROGRAM DETAILS

Unlocking Your True Potential Starts within the Master Your Movement Program
We meet Sundays each morning at 7:30 AM - 10:30 AM

Each week you are required to complete the movement homework assignments and have them submitted by the Wednesday of the following week. Feedback and review is then given.
Be prepared to move forward with the necessary adjustments in mind for the next weeks lesson.
You are asked to practice for at least 30 minutes per day if not longer to establish a solid routine and master the Basic Forms.
We begin the training focusing on first refining and becoming experts in the movement patterns of GuanJing. This program can be a separate program in and of it self, however a teaching certificate will not be given to those who only complete this training
Week 1 & 2
Breath & Body Analysis
In the first week, we explore the indispensable role of breath in movement. Breath acts as the connective thread, harmonizing various bodily systems and facilitating efficient movement.
In our first weeks together we will explore the profound significance of breath in movement and shed light on the numerous ways that conscious breathing techniques can enhance our physical performance and overall well-being.
By engaging the diaphragm and deep core muscles, breath acts as a natural bracing mechanism, supporting the spine and promoting optimal posture.
Conscious, deliberate breathing techniques have been scientifically proven to lower stress levels, increase focus and concentration, and improve emotional regulation. This mind-body connection enhances movement by calming the nervous system, promoting a state of flow, and fostering a heightened sense of body awareness.
Week 3 & 4
Part #2: Sequence Movements
Weeks 3 onward we learn a sequence of movements that are spiraling and circular in formation. Just like the mesmerizing patterns found in nature, spirals have a natural flow and rhythm that promote balance and harmony. When we engage in movements that are circular and spiraling, such as in dance, tai chi, we tap into the energy of the spiral.
This dynamic movement stimulates the flow of chi or life force energy in our bodies, promoting physical well-being and vitality. Additionally, spiraling movements have a calming effect on the mind, helping to reduce anxiety and stress. The circular nature of these movements also represents the cyclical nature of life, reminding us of the constant ebb and flow of energy and the interconnectedness of all things.
Ultimately, incorporating spiraling circular shapes into our daily lives can lead to a deeper sense of connection, balance, and a renewed zest for life.
Week 5 & 6
Part #3: Nervous System Rewiring
Think of this as the ultimate opportunity to release and let go. Our nervous system is a memory bank of every life experience and trauma we have endured.
Through these movements, we regulate our nervous system-which acts as the command center, coordinating and controlling all body functions. The movements are essential to maintain healthy nerve function and prevent stagnation.
Regular practice of GuanJing stimulates the nervous system, enhancing its efficiency and promoting the release of neurotransmitters that positively impact mood and cognition. It also strengthens neural connections, improving coordination and motor skills. Practicing GuanJing movements is crucial for a balanced and thriving mind-body connection.
Week 7
Part #4: Qi Energy Cultivation
Your energy is the most powerful form of currency you have.
Imagine your life when your body is open and full of energy, your intuition is high, your mind is clear, and your soul feels at peace.
This is the power within cultivating Qi energy.
It is the energy that pervades all of life itself. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed- it can only be transformed.
This is what the techniques in Master Your Movement teach you-how to transform suffering into something that serves.

Get to Know Me
My name is Ting Ting and I have been in the movement and wellness industry for over a 2 decades.
My passion is sharing the techniques and knowledge learned through the years to help others move better, breathe better, and feel better. I love to help people rediscover a new respect for their bodies. To gain confidence and empower their spirit.
This passion has me to develop a new movement technique, GuanJing Method. An easy to learn meditative movement practice that cultivates Qi energy using spiraling circular shapes. The movements are designed to transform tension and heavy emotions into renewed vitality leaving the practitioner feeling refreshed and at peace.
My dedication to this practice is globally recognized as a pioneer in the movement industry merging elements of Yoga, Qi Gong, and Dance. My latest book " Meditative Movements to Optimize Health and Vitality" hit the best sellers list on Christmas Eve last year.
Everyday I strive to embody my practice and live in full flow with the current of life. To not take life so seriously and dance with the elements that come my way.
