We teach these intensive courses on the weekends mainly for those of you who can't spare a week, or more, away from work. The Qi Healer Intensive is taught on consecutive weekends. The Qi Therapist Intensive is also taught on weekends; however, these weekends are not necessarily consecutive, allowing more time for practice between weekend sessions (see schedule below). The timing for each weekend training begins Friday evening (5:30-9:30pm) and continues Saturday and Sunday (9am-5pm). |

Overview In a Qi Gong class for self-health, you will learn sound Qi Gong methods to produce the relaxation, peace, and inner quiet that allow your body to heal itself naturally. Qi Gong techniques use Mind, Body, and Breath in a variety of ways to encourage Qi balance and circulation throughout every cell of your entire body. “Qi" is the Chinese word that defines the energy of being. All of nature pulsates with it. Human beings, animals, fish, birds and insects along with all the flowers, trees, mountains and seas of the earth manifest Qi. The elements of heaven, thunder, lightning, wind and fire share Qi. It is the common language of the universe, uniting and binding all things together. “Qigong” means the study and practice of accumulating Qi, balancing Qi, and coordinating the flow of Qi to maintain health and well-being. The practice of Qi Gong can result in an increased sense of awareness, improved posture, balance, and inner peace. A little known facet of Qigong is the ability to activate “acupoints” in the mind – without physically touching them with anything but the mind’s awareness and focus! By learning and practicing Qigong you can learn to deal with any emotion (anger, anxiety, grief, etc.) in an “energy” way. There are thousands of Qi Gong practices. In general there are two categories: Quiescent & Dynamic. The first is characterized by little-to-no movement and is quite meditative; the latter is characterized by movement. A particular sub-category to dynamic Qi Gong would be termed Tai Chi Qi Gong. In this type of dynamic Qi Gong, all movements are done using Tai Chi Principles with unity of movement. |
|
| Wu Ji Qigong & more (...to maintain
your health & well-being) Fran and Brian have been authorized to teach Wu Ji Qi Gong and Wu Ji Jing Gong Tai Chi by United States foremost instructor of Wu Ji forms, Master William Ting, Silver Tiger Tai Chi Studio. What a great honor! Please refer to Master Ting's Website: www.SilverTigerTaiChi.com for information about his Wu Ji Tai Chi and Wu Ji Qi Gong offerings.

|
| Wu Ji Qi Gong | |
| Wu Ji Qigong |
An excellent holistic practice of single repetitive movements, this Tai Chi Qi Gong forms the foundation for this course of study. It is a very comfortable and easy way to begin to increase your body-mind awareness. Learn the 15 Wu Ji Qigong routine movements that will be demonstrated and practiced during the course. These slow, repetitive movements are easy to remember, encouraging the swift development of unity and fluidity in your body. Examine the processes that create imbalance in your body alignment and Qi - plus methods to correct and release these imbalances. Learning these principles of movement and alignment can lead to a greater understanding of the relationship between your thoughts and your awareness, and to ways for you to experience inner peace as well as improved health. We will gradually learn the 14 movements and 2 standing meditations of this Foundation form. The alignment and connection to heaven and earth is sublime. Students may start at any time, as we will focus on one movement each day, as well as performing the form. Beautiful on its own, it is also an excellent preparation for any style of tai chi. Together, we will probe the visible and invisible aspects of stillness and movement, and play with the qualities of spontaneity and the space between stimulus and response--ways to experience opening to the peace of the universe. Fran Maher and Brian Coffey are both authorized teachers for Silver Tiger Tai Chi Studio. See Class Schedule |

| Swimming Dragon Qi Gong | |
| Swimming Dragon Qigong |
Qi Gong for Healing introduces the beautiful Swimming Dragon Health Exercise to Central NJ. This form, refined by Dr. Tzu Kuo Shih in his book and DVD of the same name, will be taught by student of Classical Chinese Medicine Patricia Pagano. Classical refers to branches of healing that pre-date Traditional Chinese Medicine. These time honored methods have provided benefits for millions of people over eons of time. Known collectively as Clinical Qi Gong, they focus on how each individual can improve their health with still and moving meditations. For example, Swimming Dragon is known for promoting weight loss with or without dieting, while benefiting the skin, spine, and internal organs. Although these practices are available as books and DVDs, learning with a teacher provides a three dimensional model plus feedback and corrections that make the student’s movements more comfortable and productive. To suit different schedules the class begins Friday, November 4 at noon or Monday, November 7 at 12:30. The first four one-hour weekly sessions include the basic form ($50 for all 4, or $15 drop-in). Follow-up practice sessions will be available.See Class Schedule |

Each session has three parts:
*The form consists of one or more movements strung together in a series of gentle movements performed sequentially in a continuous manner - as if all were the same movement from beginning to end. Breath and mind are very peaceful during these movements. This combination of body, mind, and breath is the regulating core for all the Tai Chi benefits. The form is taught in a number of sequences and can be learned as 6, 12, 24, 36, or 73 movements. Seek the level with which you are comfortable. as a Beginner or Beyond Beginner. Smooth, continuous, unified movements encourage your body to move more simply, effectively, & effortlessly. Tensions melt. The mind’s awareness changes… Expect improved strength, flexibility, and balance. Enjoy inner stillness and peace that you can apply to everyday life. Beginners will learn and practice a basic 12 movement Tai Chi form based on the Sun style that is easy, yet rich enough to satisfy repeat students. More advanced students will enjoy the structure principles that will take them deeper into the richness of learning and experiencing Tai Chi . In addition, Qi Gong – an ancient practice which cultivates one’s Qi (energy) – will be used as a vehicle to build individual awareness of the vital life force to enhance Tai Chi practice.

| Principles of Movement & Alignment |
William Ting...
Guest Presenter William Ting Principles of Alignment and Movement
Under the gentle guidance of
Master Teacher William Ting, There are always places to go and work to do and fun to be had! As we engage in these, we are using our muscles to walk, to lift, to push, to reach. And we are always in a perpetual play with balance, our relationship to gravity. Our every movement is accountable in some way to gravity. Not only do physical aspects, such as posture changes and weight shifts help us to control balance, but the non-physical aspects of energy flow, intensity, and momentum influence our alignment and movement as well. Whether you are bending over to pull up your sox, pushing the refrigerator, or having your height measured at the Doctor’s office, dancing… or “demolishing” your opponent in your martial arts practice, the principles of alignment and movement can improve your posture changes, weight shifts, as well as your energy flow, intensity, and momentum. The “principles” come from generations of in-depth studies of Tai Chi, where focus is on the basics of alignment and movement that use the body in the way it was designed for optimum development, effectiveness, ease of function, and efficiency of movement. Come if you are student of moving meditations, martial arts, sports. Come if you are none of those, but you find you are getting a little stiff, getting injuries easily, experiencing less speed and stamina. Principles Of Alignment includes working with Qi, employing the spiraling motion that relaxes muscles, opens joints, and unifies the body, thus allowing not only the accumulation of energy, but also the ability for energy to flow. If the body is more relaxed and flexible, then it will be more responsive and better able to meet the situations of everyday life. Because we are working together in the present, as we find ourselves now, this course is always fresh and new, whether you're taking it for the 20th or for the first time.

been selected as a good introduction to the topic of Qi Gong. (Please
remember that Qi Gong is learned experientially with your whole being, not just through the
mental process of reading a book. Qi Gong is learned best from a good
teacher or coach.)
