CONTROLLED BREATHING
Relieve Stress. Reduce Anxiety. Improve Sleep.
I'M DAVID BURCH, AUTHOR, WELLNESS COACH, AND INSTRUCTOR.
I help people find calm in their lives.
I'm David Burch. My journey with qigong and tai chi began while I was a stressed Information Technology Director.
A chronic illness left me feeling hopeless and worried about my family’s future. Seeking a solution, I discovered qigong and tai chi.
For over fifteen years, these practices have transformed my life, restoring my physical and emotional health. Now, I’m passionate about sharing these arts. Certified by multiple organizations, my goal is to help you achieve greater well- being through mindful movement and breathwork.
Whether facing physical, mental, or emotional challenges, tai chi and qigong can make a difference. Join me and experience the profound benefits of these arts for a healthier, happier life.
I use a follow-along style to teach beginners simple techniques to combat stress and help the body heal.
Join me in the practice of somatic mindful movement as we explore the power of Tai Chi, Qigong, Breathwork, Meditation, and Self-Massage to reduce stress, boost energy, and support your body's natural healing.
Whether you're looking for calm, balance, or overall well-being, these easy-to-follow practices will help you connect mind, body, and spirit through breath and gentle movement.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Wow, this helped me greatly. I was worried i wouldn't be able to do it as my balance is awful, but i managed just fine. I'd pretty much given up hope in improving my mobility, I can't express how grateful I am. Disability is a hard cross to bear, so even a tiny improvement feels like a miracle. ❤"

PRACTICE ALONG WITH ME AS I BUILD MY BIGGEST PROJECT YET
When Your Usual Way No Longer Works: An Eight-Step Framework to Move Out of Survival Mode, Restore Balance, and Build Resilience
I’m developing my biggest project yet: When Your Usual Way No Longer Works, a practical mind-body-breath framework for those moments when stress builds, life changes, and the old way of coping no longer works.
This work grows out of the same Tai Chi, Qigong, breathwork, mindful movement, meditation, and self-applied massage practices I teach — but it is about something broader.
It is about learning how to shift your state first. Before you solve the problem. Before you push harder. Before you collapse, shut down, or keep forcing your way through. Inside this early practice circle, you’ll explore how to:
Create sanctuary: Build a simple sense of safety and steadiness before you begin.
Shift mind, body, and breath: Use simple practices to interrupt stress patterns and come back to yourself.
Relax from head to toe: Release unnecessary tension and reconnect with the body.
Smile from the heart: Work with positive emotional content in a grounded, practical way.
Move mindfully: Use gentle movement to restore flow, awareness, and ease.
Let go and unwind: Allow the body and nervous system to release what they are ready to release.
Let everything settle: Pause long enough for the benefits of practice to spread through the body.
Reintegrate: Come back to daily life with more steadiness, clarity, and choice.
