Bill and Corinne Barnes
Bill and Corinne met and married in Sacramento, California. They moved to Binghamton, NY, where they lived, worked and raised 3 children.
In 2014, after the children left the nest, Corinne retired from 20 years of teaching and they decided to leave the cold winters behind and move to a big retirement community in Florida where Bill continued to work remote.
Here in Florida is where Corinne started her Tai Chi/Qigong journey. Her first step was joining the Qigong Club and was exposed to different styles of qigong. She also joined the Tai Chi/Qigong Energy class where she learned the 24-form Tai Chi Yang style.
After 5 years in Florida, they followed their heart and moved to North Carolina (NC) to be near their first grandchild. This is where they were introduced to the 24-Posture Therapeutic Qigong at the local Community Center.
With the onset of the COVID-19 virus and suspension of in-person classes they found Sifu George Picard online and began their journey towards instructor training.
In 2021 after 32 years as a Software Engineer Bill decided to join Corinne in retirement.
Their lifelong goal is to share the 24-posture qigong in their local community as well as online as they perform the postures during their hiking travels throughout the world.
