Qigong is the self-help aspect of Chinese Medicine.   This relaxing, health enhancing system of movement enables you to increase the circulation of Qi, the life force energy found in your body and every living thing on Earth.

The movements are easy to learn as each exercise is performed 8 times.    Qigong has been proven to benefit health and well being and can be practiced in a short amount of time.    It is not a martial art, but it is the basis for all of the Chinese Martial Arts including Tai Chi.

I have been practicing and teaching Qigong andYoga, for my entire adult life.  Originally I practiced to was to heal and overcome various physical limitations and injuries.    I turned this misfortune into a profession, so I was able to help others to help themselves by learning these techniques and others. 

My focus is on giving people the skills to assist them in healing themselves.   Some would call that 'Teaching people how to fish’ rather than 'Giving someone a fish'.

I have studied with several different masters.    After studying with him for seven years, my first Master, Song Arun suggested that I teach.                                                      I have also studied with Masters Robert Peng, Kenneth Cohen, Roger Jahnke, Minka DeVos as well as several other excellent teachers.                                                            I continue to study and practice diligently daily to maintain and improve my physical, mental, and emotional health.

 QUESTION -    WHY IS QIGONG NOT WELL KNOWN?   Until the 1990s Qigong was a secret skill taught only to those born in China.

MY MISSION STATEMENT:

My first goal is to teach simple movements which allow students to actually feel Life Force Qi energy.   This is not difficult, and each gentle exercise is repeated 8-10 times which stimulates the pleasant sensations and makes them tangible.   

My second goal is that each student learns at least one simple exercise, movement, or meditation each class that you can use to improve your Qi flow to spread the benefits throughout your body, mind and spirit and improving your wellbeing.                 

I demystify these ancient, formerly secret Chinese healing techniques and make them accessible to all who are interested in learning and practicing.     All levels of students are welcome to all of my classes.

Some of the forms that I teach in class are: The Four Golden Wheels, Five Treasures , The Eight Pieces of Brocade, and Primordial Qi Gong, as well as meditations, and breathing exercises.                                                                     (if you click on the forms in red above, you can view videos)
