Qi Gong In March we will again be hosting workshops on the ancient healing art of Qi Gong. The dates are March 27/28. The course runs from 1:00 - 4:00 PM. The cost for two days is $100. Location is Burnside/Gorge Community Centre. You can register for the course at Burnside/Gorge www.burnsidegorge.ca You can also email reception-bgca@shaw.ca

Qi Gong is an ancient healing art that works a variety of systems throughout the body, including the entire qi meridian system.

Each two day course is designed to take participants through beginning and intermediate levels of two different qi gong sets.

Eight Section Brocade is a relatively simple qi gong exercise set consisting of only 8 exercises. The main goal of Eight Section Brocade is to open the main qi meridians and their associated organs. Each exercise will be repeated until students are capable of performing the whole set by themselves. On day two students will be given a higher level look at the internal movement required to get the most out of this set.

Hunyuan Qi Gong is the second set that will be taught and consists of 12 movements, stationery standing with breath control and a set of self massage techniques. Hunyuan qi gong is a more complex set that gives students the possibility of progressing further with their health, strength and suppleness for years to come.

Hunyuan Qi Gong began with the first emperor of China and was passed down through his family for many generations. The last member of that family taught it to Hu Yao Zhen, a famous martial artist and qi gong master from Beijing. He taught the set to Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang who in turn taught it to my teacher, Master Chen Zhonghua. This set is reputed to extend a persons life and build robust health and strength.

 

 

 

 

What:          Qi Gong workshop
Where:       Burnside/Gorge Community Centre
When:         March 27 and 28 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM
Cost:            $100

What should I bring

Bring a cushion to sit on and layer your clothing as we will be alternating between being very active and sitting in meditation.


It will be held at Burnside/Gorge Community Centre and will focus on two very popular Qi Gong sets, Eight Section Brocade and Hunyuan Qi Gong.

What do I get out of it

We aim to have all attendees leave the workshop with a full working knowledge of Eight Section Brocade, how and why it works. We will also work with the Hunyuan Qi Gong system enough to leave attendees with a deeper understanding of it, its theories of qi movement and creation. We will work on 3 different parts of Hunyuan Qi Gong, choreography, breath control and healing massage.

What if I only practise Taiji?

Taiji practitioners can benefit from these as the internal movement found in them must be mastered for Taiji to reach its highest level.

Everyone can benefit from the extra strength and suppleness Qi Gong brings with its practise.

Registration is through Burnside/Gorge.
