Qi Gong Workshop

Qi Gong= the skill of attracting vital energy.
Qigong is a key element used in Chinese medicine for overall physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. It is the foundation for martial arts and Tai Chi. Soaring Crane Qi Gong is an exercise system consisting of slow movements accompanied by visualizations - moving meditations.

Soaring Crane Qigong is the practice of moving mediations that develops the awareness and cultivation of personal energy, Qi. The Qi is moved to open channels of the body for physical as well as mental well being. There are many forms of Qigong that have been practiced for thousands of years and are an integral part of Chinese Medicine and the foundation to martial arts. Qigong increases flexibility, decreases tension and lends to mental clarity, creativity, and intuition.

"With practice the qi comes quickly to cleanse the channels and strengthen the body's immune system. Soaring Crane Qigong offers benefits beyond an improvement in health, there may also be an increase in mental clarity, creativity and intuition."- Professor Chen, Soaring Crane Qi Gong master teacher.
