Classical Tui Na Seminars

PracticeARTS Classical Tui N Seminars are based on the Zheng Gu Tui Na system created by Tom Bisio and Frank Butler. This highly effective method provides tui na training in the context of protocols that are modular, adaptable, and immediately applicable to a clinical setting. Qi Gong exercises ensure the practitioner can accomplish the techniques with excellent connection and alignment. 

Seminars are weekend length and can be sponsored by individuals or organizations to bring ZGTN training to your local community. All of our seminars provide NCCAOM and CAB continuing education units. Seminars are progressive and meant to be taken as a series of 4 weekends over the course of a year.
