Fundamentals
of Taijiquan and Qigong
FALL STUDY SESSION emphasizing
Qigong (energy cultivation) at Trimble Spa and Natural Hot
Springs ... Now through November 3, 2008.
I just revised our after-work practice times to run
from 5:30 to 7:30 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I also changed prices.
Plus, I added a unique twist to it. Come by when you get off work whatever
time that is and get in a little practice. Come by when you can. You
don't have to arrive at 5:30, nor stay 2 hours. I do recommend practice
for a minimum of an hour, however, whether you're a beginner or have
had more practice.
Classes are designed for beginners (0-2 years), intermediate
(2-4 years), and lapsed tai chi and qigong practitioners needing review
of the fundamentals. Excellent chance for beginners to learn
essential basics of energy cultivation. A single qigong set
done properly does wonders.
Monday (5:30 - 7 pm) … Using
intention, not brute force. Buddhist breath. Primordial Qi set from
the Liu He/Ba Fa system. Dantian Exercise. Qi Circling, Nei Gong training,
Silk Reeling.
Wednesday (5:30 - 7 pm) … Eight Pieces of Brocade
Qigong.
Friday (5:30 - 7 pm w/minimum) … Wu Style form.
CLASS COST: $6.50 (Class only drop-in rate). $13.00
(Class with hot springs). $6.50 to soak is the best deal going! This
low price may help you pay for gas.
Whole Course: (9 classes remaining): $39.50 on or before
Oct 13 (Class only, min. applies). Add $6.50 per soak (half-price).
I want to say that the practice of tai chi is not about
money, it's about practice and it's about health, longevity and well
being. Think of the low class price as helping you out on gas so you
can get here and feel better! Get in some self-defense skills while
you're at it, too!
ADDITIONAL Class (CANCELED, transferred to Wed.
at Trimble): Tuesdays 5:30 pm until ... Always
call to register before showing up (749-0891)
Location: Rotary Park at the Gazebo on the River Trail near
Main Street Bridge.
All classes also include one or all of the following:
Build qi awareness in the hands (and feet, too). Learn internal secrets
of qi cultivation. Qi circles. Improved blood circulation to the brain.
Open the joints, soften the tendons and ligaments. Build bone density.
Zhan Zhuang (standing). Two-person training for feedback and refinement.
Proper breathing techniques for relaxation and performance, plus breathing
meditation exercises. Includes post-natal, or Buddha, breath and diaphragmatic
breathing.

Instructor's Promise
The best way to learn tai chi and qigong
is through oral instruction and regular practice over time. I will work
with you: to learn key foundational exercises of taijiquan and qigong;
to visualize and internalize universal skills and
techniques; to tune into subtle internal physical and energetic levels;
to get the most out of tai chi and qigong in a relatively short time,
and; to tap into your own inherent abilities.
