Marco Moura

Marco Moura is a practitioner of martial arts and Chinese therapies, connected to the Centro Dao de Cultura Oriental in São Paulo, near the Ana Rosa metro station. He is an acupuncture professional trained in physiotherapy, with a postgraduate degree in neurosciences and 20 years of experience. His work brings the ancient knowledge of Chinese medicine together with modern understanding.

His therapeutic approach rests on a symbolic and energetic reading of each person, seen as a living mandala in constant interaction between body, mind and purpose. From that reading he guides a process of rebalancing through acupuncture, meditation, qigong and therapeutic dialogue, helping patients restore clarity, vitality and their inner path.

Marco also offers courses, consultations and talks on meditation and on Buddhist and Taoist philosophy. From an integral perspective, he explores how Chinese strategic thinking can apply to health and personal growth. He presents mindfulness as a practice inherited from ancient traditions, well suited to a busy modern life that needs moments of introspection and a connection between mind and body.

The Centro Dao is known for teaching Tai Chi Chuan in two lineages. The Pai Lin lineage emphasizes qigong, the cultivation of vital energy, for health and longevity. The Chen lineage treats Tai Chi Chuan as a style of Kung Fu that blends slowness and speed, softness and firmness. The center represents the Chen Bing Taiji Academy, based in Chenjiagou, China.
