Introduction to Luohan Gong

This introduction class to Luohan Gong is designed to focus on more of the short forms within the Luohan system that offers a profound benefit to the body, mind, and energy system for self healing. This class is optional and a great way to learn simple practices you can do to support and heal yourself. These classes provide the ability to sample and experience the Luohan system without committing to the 12 week course to learn the full form.

These ongoing weekly qigong classes are beneficial to all levels. We work primarily with the forms listed below that support grounding the body, mind, and nervous system, getting out of the body’s stress response, clearing out the lymphatic system, improving blood flow and circulation, boosting the immune system, and naturally clearing the mind and body of stuck, or imbalanced emotions that weaken your natural ability to heal.

Zhan Zhuang

Tree Qigong

Ground and Develop Root. Learn to sink your qi and ground into the planet. Build a deeper awareness of the balance of Yin & Yang within your body and energy system.

These 8 short forms are the classical version of the 8 Pieces of Brocades. They support the organs and physical body, release emotion, and balance the body, mind, and spirit.

Ba Duan Jing

The 8 Jewels

San Jiao Qigong

Develops the San Jiao (also referred to as the "Triple Burner") which is responsible for transporting our original essence from the kidneys through the body. The Triple Burner plays a big part in the communication and coordination of all the organs in the body. The upper burner is involved in the distribution of oxygen and blood. The middle burner is involved with digestion and nutrient distribution. The lower burner is involved with elimination and separating out the waste. The San Jao practice also cultivates the Middle Tan Tien, while opening the energy center of the heart.

Wuji

Explore the flow that comes through within emptiness; the state of non-doing that lacks all polarity.

Yin Yang

Walking Qigong

This form supports opening up the spine through flexing and extending the vertebral column. Through using the breath and movement the student naturally opens the 3 gates along the spine associated with the San Jao (Triple Burner), benefiting respiration, circulation, digestion, and elimination as well as opening the microcosmic orbit. Yin Yang walking also opens the hips and joints and flows the energy through the expressions of Yin and Yang within the body supporting the integration and unification of the whole body to work and function together as a cohesive unit.

Essence Qigong

This form contains all the categories of the various types of qigong. It is a simple yet power practice that clears your meridians, nourishes your internal organs, tonifies the qi and opens up your spiritual centers.
