Qigong is 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 and Yoga, 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.    My first Master, Song Arun suggested that I teach after studying with him for seven years.   I have also studied with Masters Robert Peng, Kenneth Cohen, Roger Jahnke, Minka DeVos and other excellent teachers.   I continue to study and practice daily to improve my physical, mental, and emotional health.

WHY IS QIGONG NOT WELL KNOWN?   Until the 1990s Qigong was secret and not taught to Non Chinese people.   

My first goal in classes is to teach people how to actually feel Qi.  This is not difficult practice.  There is nothing magical or mystical but it is subtle.   You will learn that feeling and circulating Qi is natural and is always occuring in your body until you die.  

In Chinese medicine the philosophy is that anything in your body that is not working optimally is caused by a deficiency of Qi or lack of circulation of this life force.   But you can easily cultivate it, guide and lead it and increase its flow to overcome deficiencies and blockages. I try to demystify these ancient, formerly secret Chinese healing techniques and make them accessible to all who are interested in learning.   All levels are welcome.

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 several meditations, and breathing exercises.  (click on the forms in red to view videos)
