Doug Hewell

Doug Hewell has been practicing Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong for nearly fifty years. He began his studies in 1976 with internationally respected master Benjamin Lo of San Francisco, a renowned senior student of Cheng Man-Ch’ing. Doug trained intensively with Ben Lo for five years and has continued a dedicated practice of Tai Chi and Qigong ever since.

For the past seven years, Doug has been an apprentice and instructor with the Seattle School of Tai Chi Chuan, part of the Tai Chi Foundation’s international teaching community. His approach is gentle, meditative, and accessible for beginners, emphasizing the health and spiritual benefits of both Tai Chi and Qigong as paths toward balance, relaxation, and inner quiet.

A long-time Olympia resident of 35 years, Doug is grateful for the opportunity to share the healing and restorative qualities of Qigong and Tai Chi with the Soul Healing Center community.
