Welcome to Dao Ananda And The Modern Taoist
At Dao Ananda, our mission is to help people find inner peace, balance, and strength through the living wisdom of Taoism, Qigong, Tai Chi, and meditation.
Dao Ananda is guided by Kit Mann, a Taoist Teacher and Qigong Master Instructor who spent over 15 years studying under Taoist Master Zhou Daoxuan. Kit’s own journey into Qigong began not from curiosity but from necessity. After breaking his leg in three places, traditional rehabilitation wasn’t working. Qigong became the path forward — and it transformed far more than his recovery.
Through practice, his body began to heal faster, his breath deepened, and the weight of constant stress began to ease. Over time, Kit realized the same principles that restored his strength could help others — no matter their starting point — to find resilience, calm, and balance.
Today, Dao Ananda is a place to learn, to heal, and to live well in all aspects of life.
