    Qigong Vibration

    Saturday Qigong Join us Saturday morning at 10am for our Phase 3 Qigong class, otherwise known as "Vibration Training!" During this class we spend a portion of at least 10 minutes or so shaking, dancing and vibrating with rhythmic music, to release tension and bring the mind and body together in a joyous harmony. There are no dance moves to learn for this exercise - you can just close your eyes and follow your own flow - or listen to the suggestions from your instructor. You'

    Smoke detox, Oxygen recharge

    During this time when our air is filled with ash and smoke it's important to utilize the filtration systems naturally occurring within our bodies. It's impossible to avoid the smoke altogether, but there are ways to help your internal organs detox and recharge with vital energy. Our lungs expel carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen, and they operate at their optimum level when we breathe naturally and deeply into our lower abdomen. Abdominal breathing allows the lungs to extend ve

    Qigong Trainings!

    We have two special Qigong trainings this month! We begin our "Journey to 1,000 Bows," on Saturday, May 19th, and our next "Exploring Qigong" workshop is on Saturday, May 26th. The greatest benefit of the bowing exercise, which is the primary practice in the Journey to 1,000 Bows, is how it unifies the body and the mind. In my Qigong training, I have done many bows; and as a father of two, I have made a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. I've found that peanut butter provide

    May the 4th be with You!

    On this day that makes us think of Star Wars, and the "Force," I think it's a great opportunity to reflect on Qi (or, chi), which is the equivalent to the Force in many ways. Traditional Chinese medicine revolves around the concept of Qi, as do many indigenous healing arts. After thousands of years, and despite amazing breakthroughs in Western medicine, the ancient healing modalities are still practiced around the world. You might even say there has been a resurgence of pract

    We now have Qigong classes 5 days a week, and we're moving forward with a regular schedule of special workshops on all things Qigong. We held our first "5-Element Qigong" workshop last week, and there was so much to share that we realized we need to hold these workshops more often. There are so many helpful principles in the 5-Element framework, and Qigong is a perfect way to apply them in a mind-body practice. You can learn about our regular Qigong classes by attending the "
