Better Health • Greater Vitality • More Harmony

Heal yourself. Many practitioners feel more energy, get sick less often, reduce or heal chronic diseases, and many other possible physical benefits. Longer-term benefits are a new sense of mental, emotional, and spiritual strength and balance -- chaos and stress may feel easier to handle, destructive patterns can be broken, and life enjoyed anew.

Fundamental exercises and meditations

In fundamentals classes, you will learn simple movements and meditations that have been part of spiritual development in the Chinese Taoist tradition for thousands of years. Qi or chi literally means breath or energy, while "Gong" means skill. Through these practices, you build your skill in working with the life force, or breath, that supports you.
