This program, currently offered remotely, is a carefully designed scientifically validated ancient practice for making positive changes in mind, body and spirit.
• For developing mental vitality and increased tranquility we use an approach I call functional meditation.
• In order to nurture and strengthen the body we use a core of powerful but easy to learn exercises that cultivate stillness, slowness and softness as well as quickness. These are designed to produce a full range of physical benefits such as agility, whole body strength, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular function.
This balanced training method-combining slow, moderate and quick speeds with stillness practice (standing, sitting, and lying down body positions)-is crucial in preventing injuries. The wisdom lies in the balance: mental, physical, and spiritual/still, slow, fast, agile and cognitive. In other words, synchronizing these various elements produces powerful results. Practice correctly and there are substantial gains in HEALTH, STRENGTH and ENERGY.
Qigong/Taiji is meditation in motion; Qigong is the integration of physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation and focused intentions...as well as Taiji form (Chen Style) movements.
