What is Qigong?
Qigong is an ancient practice that promotes vitality, inspiration, and peace for the body, mind, and heart. In Chinese, "qi" means life force energy, and "gong" means to work with or cultivate. By practicing qigong, we consciously cultivate our own life force energy to foster deep relaxation, physical strength, mental clarity, and peaceful presence.   

​​

Qigong enlivens our energy systems through a combination of gentle, flowing movements, focused intention, and conscious breathwork. Together, these elements reduce stress and restore our mental and physical well-being.

My Teachers and Approach

For many years, I have studied the foundational forms of Holden Qigong with Lee Holden, who is part of the Universal Healing Tao lineage of Grandmaster Mantak Chia. ​My ongoing practice is also rooted in the teachings of Mimi Kuo-Deemer, whose book, Qigong and the Tai Chi Axis, is an inspiring and informative reference I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enrich their practice. Beyond this foundation, I have explored the distinct qigong styles of Daisy Lee, Lynne Nicole Smith, and Jeffrey Chand.
 

During my sessions, we practice a variety of qigong forms, including the Five Elements, Five Animal Frolics, Energy Protection, Piercing the Veil, and Wuji Hundun. The movements are simple, fun, and deepen our connection to the natural world.
