Kris Brinker

Kris Brinker has been a practitioner of the internal arts in Northern Virginia – Tai Chi (Taiji), Chi Kung (Qigong), Yoga – since 1989. She offers private, semi-private and group classes throughout Burke, Springfield, Centreville, Chantilly Herndon, Reston and Fairfax Virginia.

Her early roots began with traditional Yang style Tai Chi and Hatha Yoga. Kris later began classes with Peaceable Dragon instructors in 2003 and continues studying the Cheng Man-Ching variation of the Yang style form as well as numerous variations of Qigong including Taiji Shen Gong, and the Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong forms, among others.

Kris is authorized to teach by The International Sheng Zhen Society and Master Li Jun Feng, principal teacher of Sheng Zhen Qigong and former head coach of the Chinese National Wushu (Kung Fu) Team.

Along with classes dedicated to Taiji and Qigong, Kris also offers a program entitled “Just Breathe”, a class designed to offer students practical physical, emotional and spiritual benefits for every-day life through the use of movements and principles based on Taiji, Qigong and Yoga.

Kris is also a certified Reiki Master and practitioner in the Reiki Jin Kei Do lineage.

Not just an instructor, Kris’ practice and teaching gives her the strength and patience to run her own Graphic Design and Printing company here in the Northern Virginia area. She started her own company with (at the time) 16 years of experience in 2005. One of the considerations of becoming self-employed was to be able to have the flexibility to command her own schedule, freeing her to teach more classes and various times. You can find her work and experience HERE at her company web site. Referrals for new business are always greatly appreciated!
