chi-gung

On Tuesday, February 21 come join Program Director Dan Kleiman for some Tai Chi and chi gung practice.

From 6:30-7:30, Dan will lead a Short Form practice session, including warm-ups, and form work. This is your chance to meet people from other classes, get in an extra evening of practice, and learn about some new dimensions of the Tai Chi Form. There is no charge to attend and this open practice is available to anyone who was enrolled in a Winter Tai Chi class.

During the Early Spring Session (February 27 - April 22), Dan Kleiman will be teaching two separate chi gung courses: Energy Gates with a focus on Standing and the Three Swings and a special subjects course on the Marriage of Heaven and Earth.

The Marriage of Heaven and Earth course is designed for people who already know the set, but want to refine it by focusing on spinal bowing and soft tissue wrapping.

In this video, Dan explains why Heaven and Earth is a great tool for getting some of the more subtle benefits of chi gung:

On Sunday, January 22 from 10am - 1pm, come refine your Dragon and Tiger Chi Gung set with BTC founder and Energy Arts Senior Instructor Bill Ryan. Specifically, you will learn how to use the movements of Dragon and Tiger to improve your breathing and balance your energy.

Whether your main practice is tai chi, chi gung, or even ba gua, one of the keys to developing more energy over time is increasing your sensitivity to energy and learning to store it as you practice. In this 3-hour Sunday workshop, Senior Instructor Craig Barnes will teach you simple exercises to add to your existing energy arts practice.
