Teacher Information

Gio Maschio

Founder of Oxford Internal Arts, Gio has been teaching for 30 years and running regular retreats since 2004, focusing on self-healing and meditation.

Gio emphasises the natural approach in taoism, whereby practices enable you to discover the natural flows in the body, energy and mind and to release all that is obstructing them, returning you to your natural, open and balanced state. As a result his teaching and practice styles are thorough and yet natural, relaxed and intuitive.

He is one of Taoist Master B.K. Frantzis’ most experienced students and has studied with a number of other teachers and masters from different traditions throughout this time, especially in the field of meditation. He is also founder of the Qigong for Acupuncturists course at the UK's largest college of Chinese medicine, has conducted seminars for the British Acupuncture Council and has taught and given talks on Taoism and qigong in Oxford University. He hosts BK Frantzis’ and other teachers' retreats on qigong and meditation in Oxford.

Through his lengthening experience in meditation, Gio teaches all subjects with a view to help enable people to open to their relaxed and open nature.
