We offer ongoing classes, workshops and trainings – general descriptions are below. See our calendar for current and upcoming events and classes.
ZY Qigong Classes
Jean Clough, Karen Fletcher instructors
Jean and Karen offer a series of ZY Qigong courses throughout the year. Level 1 is a chance to see what qigong is all about. While it was once taught in secret, ZY Qigong is quite accessible for everyone – beginners to advanced students. We will learn exercises to rid the body of stress, tension and energy blockages. And we will practice methods for gathering energy, boosting your body’s natural self-healing capacity. Every class is experiential – we will meditate and practice movement and breathing exercises. You will leave at the end of a series knowing techniques you can use for life to enhance your sense of well being, relieve negative emotions, and cultivate vitality. . Level 2 focuses on circulation qi throughout your body and releasing negative holding patterns and stagnant qi. With practice, students learn to enter the calm state – a meditative experience of deep peace that helps the body and mind heal, then compassion and joy bubble up and open the heart.
We also offer outdoor and walking Qigong courses, and Qigong hikes. Check the calendar for upcoming events.
Classic Shaolin Qigong Forms Workshops
Claire Guyu Johnson, Jerigtu Borjigin instructors
International Qigong instructors Claire and Jerigtu live in China, and travel to the US for several months each year to teach their engaged and powerful perspective on Qigong and healing. They offer one-day and weekend workshops and talks in Seattle. Qigong is an adventure, an exploration of the internal universe. You may come for self-healing, for peace, to gain energy, to seek answers to life’s questions, or to explore who and what we are. With a small class size and the compassionate, engaged and healing presence of Claire and Jeregtu, there is always something new that unfolds in each experience.
