Class Descriptions
Eight Pieces of Brocade: This sequence includes 8 moves, each working on a
specific organ system. This form is easy to do (but there can be a lot of
nuance), does not require difficult stepping or shifting of weight and can even
be done seated. This form is very accessible, but has much to offer for all. It
can be very meditative and calming, as there is some repetition and less
difficulty in terms of learning the moves.
Five Animal Sports: This sequence includes 5 moves that are part of each
"Animal" (25 moves total). Chinese physiology has many
correspondences, and each Animal represents and organ that is being worked on.
This form is a bit more difficult, but can still be modified for individual
health challenges. It does involve stepping and shifting, but it can be
modified to be seated if necessary. This form is very dynamic and a lot of fun!
Core Strengthening for Qigong: Effective qigong practice requires physical strength,
especially in key regions. This class will focus on core strengthening, the
neck and shoulder muscles, the arches of the feet, and the legs, hip and
gluteal muscles — all regions that can become weak and lead to poor posture, a
compressed spine and poor circulation in the internal organs.
Recommended: Some exercises will be done lying down or seated, an exercise mat and folding chair (or other chair or stool) is suggested.

Taiji Ball: Involves various Qigong patterns using one
larger or two individual handheld balls to improve the connection of the spine
to the arm movement. These patterns can then be applied to taiji, five animal
sports, eight pieces of brocade, and other forms.
Medical Qigong for Acupuncturists: This class will allow an opportunity to explore concepts much more in depth regarding how the movements massage/mobilize certain acupuncture points and regions, engage the channel sinews (jingjin), and massage/mobilize the internal organs (zangfu). The class will feature multiple qigong sets such as the eight pieces of brocade and five animal sports. There will be opportunity to improve your own health and learn effective strategies for working with patients.

Low Back & Hip: This class focuses on low back and hip health and is excellent for those with low back and hip conditions. The class features various qigong and corrective exercises which increase flexibility, strengthen important structures for low back and hip stability, balance the pelvic alignment, and strengthen the core. This class is good for both prevention and for general conditions, but for more severe pain, the telemedicine sessions might be indicated.
Recommended: Loose fitting clothing, mat, folding chair (or other chair or stool)
Shoulder & Neck: This class focuses on the shoulder and neck region and is excellent for those with neck and shoulder conditions, headaches, and jaw tension. The class features various qigong and corrective exercises which increase flexibility, strengthen important structures for neck and shoulder stability, balance the neck, shoulder and head alignment, and strengthen the core. This class is good for both prevention and for general conditions, but for more severe pain, the telemedicine sessions might be indicated.
Recommended: Loose fitting clothing, mat, folding chair (or other chair or stool)
Knee, Ankle & Foot: This class focuses on the knee, ankle and foot region and is excellent for those with conditions of these regions. The class features various qigong and corrective exercises which increase flexibility, strengthen important structures for knee, ankle and foot stability, and balance the pelvis, knee and foot alignment. This class is good for both prevention and for general conditions, but for more severe pain, the telemedicine sessions might be indicated.
