Hi, my name is Ariane and I’m from the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-waututh nations. I’m here for martial and spiritual development.

I noticed myself gently shift my head and upper torso positioning when doing the guided body scan like element. I have nerd neck and my neck usually leans forward and it gently lifted to a more normal posture. I thought that was pretty cool. Gunna keep meditating! Gunna keep hitting the classroom for State lessons!! Excited to be here again!

If you’ve been here before, you remember this space. Life got full. Travel. Teaching. Family. So we closed the doors for a while. But people kept asking to come back. Because this place let them 'feel' The State. Not just learn it. Experience it. So we reopened it. This time simpler. Stronger. More focused. Before, there was too much content. People got overwhelmed and did nothing. Now there’s one clear path: The 7-Day Enter The State Challenge 7 lessons. Internal power. Inner peace. Martial strength. Spiritual alignment. Enough to change how you feel. Enough to change how you move. Enough to change how you live. What You Get Here • The 7-Day Challenge • A real community to talk and grow • Updates on live, in-person events • New videos and teachings • Access to One Tao Style and more YouTube is content. This is a home. If you’ve been quiet, this is your sign. Come back. Say hello. Start the 7-Day Challenge. Don’t just watch. Participate. Welcome back to the One Tao Family. Peace, Love and Kung Fu! Sifu John Poll: Where Are You At Right Now? 👇 What best describes you today?

I am excited to start learning martial arts near my home. Grappling is intense!! Learning the reason for doing what you’re doing and then going against a guy who knows way more than you all while trying to use what I was learning and adapt to the sorta unknowns of my opponent, whooooooaaa haha. Scary, exhausting, suuuuper informative and motivating to want to learn more for whenever I need it. I’m excited to practice the state, SNT and chain punches way more now haha. Gotta work out more too!! I don’t know my limits/pacing and was getting pretty gassed in there!!

DAILY MANTRA/QUOTE: “If your life is not in order, your training will always be limited. Discipline in daily affairs is the true dojo.” ~ Kenji Tomiki, founder of Shodokan Aikido 3am: Lead Peace, Power and Precision🥷 3:30am: Lead Siu Nim Tao training🌪️ 7am: Cold Shower 💦 Morning Aarti ~ Asato Mantra ~ Bhastrika Pranayama ~ Chum Kiu x 2 ~ Siu Nim Tao x 2 ~ Biu Gee x 2 🥋 8:30am: Teach Prana Flow Yoga 🧘🏽‍♂️ 12pm: JKD Punch Training (1,120 punches) 🥷 4:15pm: Instruct Power Flow Yoga 🧘🏽‍♂️ 5:30pm: Lead Yoga Nidra 🧘🏽‍♂️ 8pm: Supper (Taco Tuesday ) 😋 10pm: Peace, Power & Precision Live 🥷 10:30pm: Thrusting Fingers - Biu Gee 🙌🏽 DAILY OBSERVATIONS/INSIGHTS: Over the past week, I made a conscious choice to step back from posting…not out of neglect, but to give my full presence to several projects that are deeply important in my life and other pressing personal responsibilities. Running live sessions for the Academy and tending to life’s essentials reminded me that training doesn’t always look like form and practice. It also lives in how we show up for what truly matters. The Taoist reminder, “Care for small matters and the great will take care of itself,” felt especially relevant, as this recalibration of focus has actually made my practice feel more grounded, more integrated. In many ways, the week wasn’t a break from Kung Fu, but a deeper embodiment of it, lived through service, structure, and sincere prioritization.
