Beginner’s Mind, a Heart Rooted in Tradition

Chu Xin is a school of the arts of living – Taiji, Qi Gong and meditation – born from the desire to bring together awareness, movement and well-being on a path of personal evolution and inner growth.

The name Chu Xin, which means “beginner’s mind” in Chinese, is inspired by one of the fundamental attitudes in the practice of the meditative arts: a curious, innocent gaze, like that of a child, open and free of preconceptions.

Our school promotes an approach that is technical and professional, yet deeply human. The group and sharing are at its heart, and joy and serenity are its founding pillars. Here, you feel at home.

A Clear Mission

We want to offer a space where practitioners of all ages can feel welcomed, supported and inspired. A place to cultivate your vital energy (Qi), train mental calm and physical rooting, and develop sensitivity and inner strength.

Our mission is to help people become more aware and able to bring balance into their everyday lives, through tools rooted in a thousand-year-old tradition.

The Authenticity of Our Teaching

The Chu Xin School is built on a solid, continuous training path, drawing on authentic lineages and traditional methods passed down by recognised Masters.

We practise and teach Chen-style Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Daoyin and meditation faithfully to their origins, keeping alive the connection with the masters who came before us and with the deep values of the discipline. Every instructor at the school is constantly training and updating their skills, to offer high-quality teaching that respects its roots while remaining attentive to the needs of people today.

A Living School, on the Move

Chu Xin is a community in motion: we organise annual courses, residential gatherings, training programmes, meditation retreats and individual paths. We collaborate with Italian and international teachers and masters, keeping a spirit of openness and inquiry.

Joining Chu Xin means beginning a journey within yourself, with respect for the body, energy and tradition.
