Instructor - Kris Van Put

My youth had always been filled with dancing. Up to my early 20's I was dancing with a semi-professional dance group. Free dancing always was and is like a moving meditation. The movements find their reason in the rhythm, the emotion of the music, your personal attitude of the moment and the dynamics of the people around you. Dancing has always given me joy and energy and brought me into balance. After my studies as designer, work and family were the main activities in my life. As manager and designer I had to deal with product analysis, form and aesthetics of the development department. I always enjoyed communication with other departments and the coordination between all those different work levels of people.

After 10 years of working ambitiously and neglecting my dancing, I started with Tai Chi as a hobby. The elements I found in dancing were there, but even more. I not only felt more energized but it also brought me direction what to do with it. The Golden Flower School gave me the personal development that allowed me to step out of my boundaries. I became instructor because I enjoy the positive power of Tai Chi and it inspires me to pass that on. Helping people to create a positive but aware attitude about themselves, is my goal.

My love for people and getting involved with them has taken form in leading the Golden Flower Centre - Aartselaar near Antwerp together with my wife Carine, and in being the coordinator for the Belgian Golden Flower Tai Chi® School. I would like to express my thanks to San Gee Tam, Job and Yves for their inspiration along my path as my teachers. I also would like to thank the instructors of Belgium for their support and all the students for the joy they bring to my life. And Carine who chose to be my partner in all of this, for her refreshing kindness.
