With over two decades of dedication to Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Master Shahar has immersed himself in the mastery and teaching of these profound arts. His journey began at the young age of 11, guided by some of the most revered masters in the lineage, including Grandmaster Yaron Benyamini, Master Tal Rejoan, Master Amin, Master Yang He Fa, Master Ma Hong, and Master Fu Jin Jian—tracing back to the legendary teachings of Chen Fa Ke.

His expertise extends beyond Tai Chi and Qi Gong, integrating the wisdom of Taoist principles with his experience as a mindset coach, where he has helped individuals break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs.
