Improve posture, coordination, and strength with yi quan, a comprehensive qigong style based on standing and moving meditations, with Michael J. Gelb, who learned Yi Quan directly from Grandmaster Ken Cohen.

Qigong teacher Michael Gelb tells a lighthearted tale to set the stage for three qigong practices that can help you summon courage in the face of everyday challenges. (Practices start at 3:41).

Enjoy this renowned and comprehensive system of healing exercises and meditations, the legacy of Master Wang Xiangzhai. Because of its extraordinary attention to posture, movement, breathing, and mindfulness, Yi Quan teaches the vocabulary upon which all qigong is based.

You learn:

How to stand and move like the eagle, bear, tiger, and turtle to promote mind/body harmony
How to experiment with energy to encourage flow and creativity
Simple routines to improve your ability in any sport
Yi Quan Somatic Therapy to help a client or friend improve posture, coordination, and body awareness
Yi Quan Healing Imagery to relax, develop core strength, and connect with the qi (life energy) of the cosmos

There also will be time for discussion of the philosophy and science of qigong and inspiring stories of the old masters. Beginners are welcome.
