About

TQH New York offers classes and programs based in the Thai Qi Holistics (TQH) System, a unique healing method developed in Thailand which integrates Medical Qigong, Chinese Medicine, and Law of Nature education, to unfold the body’s inherent capacity to heal in harmony with nature.

The TQH System was founded by Ajahn Toh, a highly-esteemed Qigong Master and Chinese Medicine Doctor within the Buddhist community in Thailand. The TQH practices have been successfully applied to provide education and clinic services at the Thai Qi Holistics Clinic & Education Center based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which welcomes students & patients from all over the world.

Core to the TQH System is the in-depth study of Medical Qigong. Through mindful Qigong exercises, individuals build awareness of the habitual body posture, movement, and breathing patterns that bring symptoms to arise, both physically and mentally, in daily life. Within this process, they become empowered to develop awareness and acceptance of, and ultimately transform, the habits which do not serve their health and life goals, learning to shift them toward a state of optimal alignment, well-being, and confidence.

Teachings about the Law of Nature, or the ways in which Nature’s elements exist, interact, and are continuously changing state, both inside and outside the body, encourages individuals to build a holistic, embodied connection to the natural world around them. Through the process of developing body-mind wisdom, they become empowered to understand that individual health is intrinsically linked to the Law of Nature, within any stage of life.

Ashley Baldwin

TQH Senior Instructor

Ashley Baldwin is a Long Island native whose Taiwanese family roots have guided her toward a global approach to life. Feeling limited by the allopathic paradigms of health that did not support her own well-being, she decided to pursue a career that would allow her to provide sustained holistic health, both for herself and others. In 2015, she was introduced to the TQH System and immediately drawn to its capacity to support individuals in their continued physical, mental, and spiritual growth. Witnessing her own health and empowerment develop, Ashley began daily training under the system’s founder, Qigong master and Chinese Medicine doctor, Ajahn Toh, moving her base to Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2016 to do so. For the next 7 years living abroad, she became a Senior Instructor with the Thai Qi Holistics – TQH Central teaching team, teaching internationally in Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea, including courses at Thailand’s Payap University, as well as to international clientele online. In 2023, she moved back to her hometown of Port Washington to create TQH New York, developing classes and programs based in the TQH System to support the health of her local community.
