In our long history of study and practice, we have covered many subjects with several teachers. Both Patrick and Jane are certified insructors of Bruce Frantzis' Energy Arts core neigong program. These days, the term 'neigong' is inter-changable with 'qigong', though it tends to signify a deeper more holistic approach to internal body work. These practices are for those who are serious about learning tai chi, qigong or any form of energy work. They teach the fundamentals of how to activate and harness Qi, your life-force energy, to improve health, reduce stress and generally upgrade your body and mind.
Here are some of our 'legacy curriculum' components, which you can still have access to in private or small group sessions; please contact us if you interested.
The Wu style of tai chi is characterized by smaller movements with more complex 'hidden' applications - it is the perfect form for those who practice tai chi for health, meditation and especially for those over 50 or just starting a tai chi practice. Wu-style Tai Chi is particularly beneficial for facilitating the healing of injuries, especially back problems. We primarily teach the Modified 64 form but can also offer more traditional forms.
Learn how to integrate qigong practices into your normal busy life whilst staying in harmony with the seasons. Let the naturally changing energies of nature nourish and guide your mind, body and spirit. For the first time, we will be teaching a series of 'immersion' weekend workshops that span the year and its seasons. Discover and embody ancient practices that were created to naturally resonate with the energies of the Earth through its annual cycle.
The Marriage of Heaven and Earth is a popular two part qigong movement devised by Bruce Frantzis and is part of his Energy Arts system. It is easy for people of any age or fitness level to learn. Within the movements you learn to pulsate your body with a natural rhythm of opening and closing (using chi rather than muscles), bend and stretch soft tissue to gently release tension, and integrate deep relaxation breathing techniques.
Opening the Energy Gates of your Body is a part of Bruce Frantzis' core neigong program. These days, the term 'neigong' is inter-changable with 'qigong', though it tends to signify a deeper more holistic approach to internal body work. This practice is for those who are serious about learning tai chi, qigong or any form of energy work. It teaches the fundamentals of how to activate and harness Qi, your life-force energy, to improve health, reduce stress and generally upgrade your body and mind.
Gods Playing in the Cloudsis an enlightening program incorporating some of the oldest and most powerful Taoist rejuvenation techniques in Bruce Frantzis' core neigong program. It integrates many of the components we teach separately in classes and workshops, allowing you to relax, find centre and experience a whole body connection that is rarely felt in many movement practices.
