Cairo is passionate about movements and human biomechanics.
Certified PBTT, Certified Barre Teacher (Barre Body)
Due to her past experiences and her health issues, she has developed a keen interest in better health through movement. She finds her Tai Chi and Qigong training to be both beneficial physically and mentally to assist her in regaining strength, balance, and flexibility in her day-to-day life.
Before Cairo started her Tai Chi, Qigong, and Kung Fu journey, she was a committed ballet student under Miss Beverly Jane Fry at the National Theatre Ballet School and studied both Cecchetti and RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) syllabus until an injury occurred. Burnout and exhausted from overtraining, Cairo’s health deteriorated. After trying different types of treatment and rehabilitation approaches, her medical specialist finally recommended the practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. She began her training in 2016 with WELBY Holistic Healing, which gradually helped her understand and regain trust in her body as well as managing her illnesses from a mind-body connection approach.
Since 2016, Cairo has completed numerous workshops such as Wu Qin Xi (Five Animals Qigong), Intensive Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi, Tai Chi Fu-Chen, Tai Chi Martial Arts Biomechanics and Applications to name a few.
In 2019 she also underwent intensive Tai Chi and Qigong training at the prestigious Beijing Sports University under Professor Yang Yu Bing with the help of Master Tara Brayshaw from Jin-Li Wushu Taichi.
As her health improved, Cairo has started experimenting with different dance styles again, notably Contemporary and Hip Hop.
Cairo is a certified trainer in Progressive Ballet Technique and a certified Barre teacher (Barre Body). Currently she is pursuing further study in fitness and personal training.
Feeling the benefits of what she has learned over the past decade, Cairo now wants to support people to regain ownership of their body. She hopes they can enjoy and experience the benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong as much as she has.
