Jim Burk is a certified instructor of Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan. Jim began studying martial arts as a child. At age 15, he began studying Karate, Taekwondo, and Hapkido. He got a BA degree in Communications from Texas State University along with a minor in mathematics. After college, Jim went to massage therapy school at the Austin School of Massage. At this point Jim found Yoga and began practicing as many styles as he could come across. After completing his massage therapy certification he moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado to work in a Chiropractic Center and a Day Spa giving massage.

During his 3 years in Steamboat Jim got certifications in Cranio-Sacral therapy, Reiki (energy healing), and Jin Shin Do (Bodymind Acupressure). He also studied more Yoga.

When Jim moved back to Austin in 2005, he began studying under Jampa Mackenzie Stewart at Healing Tao Institute. Studying under Jampa for over 4 Years allowed Jim the opportunity to learn several styles of Qi Gong, meditation techniques, and knowledge in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Most of all, Jim developed a passion for the Yang style 24 movement form. This has been the backbone of Jim’s Tai Chi practice. In 2010, Jim graduated from Healing Tao Institute's Teacher Training Certification program
