Medical Qigong
Medical Qigong are the traditional exercises of Chinese medicine. This system of Medical Qigong has three interrelated goals: to enhance the body's self healing abilities, to increase vitality, and to cultivate skill in adapting to change. This is accomplished through gentle Quiet and Moving exercises that cultivate qi and correct abnormal patterns of qi within the body. Regular practice develops the Three Treasures of essence, energy and spirit and helps to harmonize the higher functions of the imagination, intellect and will with the natural wisdom of the physical body. For a further discussion of Medical Qigong please see our Internal Practices of Chinese Medicine article.

Please note we currently have no scheduled Qigong Programs for 2010. Please check back or call the Center at (707) 763-8040 for updates.

Previous Classes:

Comprehensive Medical Qigong Program 2009 Early next year we will be offering our comprehensive 6 month long Medical Qigong program again. This program includes a monthly 3 hour class, a half-hour of private training during the month and the development of an individualized training program for home. We will progress from the the Medical Qigong foundation exercises through the more advanced Moving Qigong exercises of the Taiji Daoyin Baojian Gong set, including the exercises for the Eight Extraordinary Channels. Throughout the program we will focus on developing a skillful practice and understanding of Qigong through the context of Chinese medicine and Medical Qigong theory. The program is limited to five students as our goal for this is to provide a high level of individualized support, which requires a small group. The fee for the program is $540. This can be paid in monthly installments of $90 or in full before the beginning of the program for a discounted rate of $490. The meetings for the group portion of the program will be on: January 24, February 21, March 21, April 18, May 16 and June 20. The private training lessons portion of the program are by appointment. Please call or e-mail Sean to get more information. While the 2009 program will be slightly different here is a PDF of the Topical Outline of 2008 Comprehensive Medical Qigong Program.
