Welcome to episode 3 of In Difficult Times

Josie Weaver is a meditative movement teacher of twenty-one years with multiple certifications in Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, and body work. 

After fifteen years as a successful manager in the Silicon Valley software industry, she became a full-time teacher of mind-body practice, senior trainer and curriculum developer for the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi and is certified to teach Chen Tai Chi by Master Wong Wai Yi of the Chen Qingzhou lineage. 

She currently serves on the boards of two 501c3 nonprofit organizations dedicated to educating the public about Qigong: The Healer Within Foundation and The Qigong Institute. 

Josie has a degree in cognitive science and has applied her knowledge of neuroscience in teaching Qigong and Tai Chi for chronic pain at two functional restoration programs in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past seven years. Her research interests in meditative movement, pain physiology, interoception, and self- and co-regulation have led Josie to concentrate on sharing meditative movement with clients and audiences that experience chronic pain. The depth of healing and awakened sense of freedom she has witnessed in people with chronic pain who practice meditative movement are a source of constant inspiration.
