Originally trained and teaching in China, she spent more than twenty years working as both a practitioner and university lecturer. Her foundation is rooted in authentic lineage practice, developed through rigorous scholarship alongside sustained practical instruction within Chinese academic and cultural institutions.
Over the past five years in the United Kingdom, Dr Jar has delivered structured Tai Chi and Qigong programmes across corporate, academic, and professional settings. The teaching focuses on internal regulation, structural precision, and the cultivation of long-term physiological stability.
All work integrates classical Taoist training principles with modern understanding of autonomic regulation, cognitive resilience, and sustained performance capacity. Through this approach, students learn not only movement, but the underlying internal processes that support clarity, balance, and recovery.
All programmes at Apex Tai Chi follow a progressive structure... beginning with structural alignment and foundational regulation, and gradually developing deeper stability, coordination, and internal awareness.
Dr Jar's teachings are known for clarity, discretion, and compassionate attention to the needs of each individual or group she works with.
