DaoYin

At Chu Xin School, Daoyin is taught by Carolina Inda, founder of the school and a student of Fabio Smolari, the leading reference in Italy for Daoyin Yangsheng Gong, the method created by Professor Zhang Guangde.

Professor Zhang was one of the pioneers in bringing medical Qi Gong into official research and training programmes in China, combining the wisdom of tradition with the rigour of modern science.

In Italy, the lineage is passed on by Master Fabio Smolari, founder of Daoyin Italia and a direct student of Professor Zhang. Smolari is one of Italy’s foremost Daoyin experts and has been teaching this discipline for over twenty years, maintaining the high quality, consistency and depth of the teaching.

At Chu Xin School, we offer Daoyin courses:

• open to everyone, regardless of age or level of experience,
• structured in thematic modules (energy, seasons, organs),
• with the opportunity to attend training and refresher seminars,
• in line with the criteria and practices of the official Daoyin Yangsheng Gong method.

Master Fabio Smolari is the leading reference in Italy for Daoyin Yangsheng Gong, the method created by Professor Zhang Guangde at Beijing Sport University.
Founder and president of Daoyin Italia – Istituto Italiano Zhang Guangde, he has been spreading this discipline nationally and internationally for over twenty years.

After graduating in China in the 1990s from the same institution as his Master, he is one of the few Westerners to be a direct student of Prof. Zhang Guangde, custodian of the authentic Daoyin lineage.
His teaching has helped create and grow a network of qualified instructors throughout Italy, keeping the tradition alive with rigour and consistency.

His approach integrates the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with an accessible, modern methodology, in line with the official recognition of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong as a health practice by the Chinese Ministry of Sport and Health.

Author of the book Daoyin per il nutrimento vitale. Storia e teoria (2021), Smolari continues to spread the method through courses, seminars and collaborations with schools and centres in Italy and Europe, offering high-level training rooted in tradition.
