World Tai Chi Day Celebration on 25th April 2009

[Sunil Samant]

Bill Douglas is the co-founder (together with Angela Wong) of World
Tai Chi & Qigong Day. Over a decade ago they invested their life
savings in a vision of bringing together the global Tai Chi and Qigong
family, so that we might together spread Tai Chi and Qigong to the
entire planet at time when it was most needed by a stressed out modern
world.

Bill served as a retirement funds, payroll, and human resources
administrator for several international corporations, before a career
in environmental, voting rights, and human rights organizing, until
eventually he began teaching Tai Chi and Qigong. Now he is the Tai Chi
Expert for Dr. Andrew Weil's DrWeil.com, and was one of a handful of
national Tai Chi experts to help formulate a National Council on the
Aging national efficacy guide for aging professionals to begin Tai Chi
programs for local aging populations.

Bill has presented for the National Parkinson's Foundation, the
American Heart Association, and for some of the world's largest
corporations and health institutions. He is the 2009 Inductee to the
Internal Arts Hall of Fame, the Extraordinary Service in the Field of
Qigong Award recipient from the National Qigong Association; the Media
Excellence on Qigong Award from the World Congress on Qigong; and the
Leadership Award from the National Tai Chi Association.
