Qigong Classes

Qi is the fundamental life force that pervades all aspects of the universe from vast to microscopic. It moves the stars and planets in their orbits as well as controlling the actions of your cellular body.  Qigong is the art of cultivating this life energy for health, longevity, and prosperity.  Coordinating gentle movement with breath, build a bridge between your mind and body to find a connection to this powerful elixir.

This profound practice helps move old stagnant energy, imbuing you with fresh new resources, bringing peace of mind, clarity, and acceptance.  *A perfect complement to an existing yoga practice AND a life-altering tool for those for whom yoga is just not an option.

Sheng Zhen Qigong

Sheng Zhen Qigong is all about Unconditional Love. In fact, Sheng Zhen means "The Spirit of Unconditional Love". Qi means "Energy" or "Life Force" and Gong means "Exchange with the Universe". The practice of Sheng Zhen Qigong is exchanging unhealthy, stagnant, non-beneficial Qi for pure, clean, healing Qi from the Universe. Forms consist of dance-like, elegant, and powerful movements with contemplations conjoined with training in what's called "Qigong State". There is love for and connection with the entire Universe in this state and so there is specific training on how to enter and embody Unconditional Love during practice. As the cultivation of Unconditional Love becomes strong with practice, it starts to spread into other areas of life and people start to find themselves in states of bliss while doing mundane activities throughout the day.

Through good posture, natural breathing and proper mind/intent the body can change on all levels to reach our potential health and happiness!
