Taiji Jian Shen Fa & Tao Meditation
In this qigong program we will go through a set of whole body opening exercises to release tension and promote flexibility in the muscles and joints. Taiji Jian Shen Fa is a system of Qigong that strengthens and balances the mind/body system, while promoting flexibility specifically in the spine, neck, legs, arms, and torso. The Tao meditation portion of the program will consist of integrating the mind and body, scanning the body for energetic blockages, and systematically dissolving these blockages.

Eight Pieces of Brocade
The Eight Pieces of Brocade consist of eight individual exercises, each of which is designed to stretch and strengthen a specific part of the body and stimulate a particular organ-energy system, while also bringing the whole system into balance. This system of Qigong was designed to strengthen the body, particularly the legs, back, shoulders and neck, to balance the vital functions and tonify the internal organs, to build immunity and resistance and enhance vitality, and to drive stagnant energy and toxin residue from the system. Today it remains one of the most widely practiced styles of Qigong.
