Out of the mists of time, from ancient China, comes one of the most comprehensive systems of
Qigong ever taught. . .
Primordial Qigong is a profoundly beautiful and powerful system of health and wellness developed
by Chang San Feng (the creator of Tai Chi Chuan) during the 13th Century. Primordial Qigong encompasses
all of the primary aspects of Taoist philosophy: the concepts of yin and yang, the Taoist trinity (heaven, earth
and man), the Five Element theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the I Ching, the Bagua and the mystical
aspects of numbers. Primordial Qigong harmonizes and strengthens the flows in your body, regulates all internal
systems and brings you to optimum health, wellness and internal power.
Some of the many benefits of practicing Primordial Qigong:
--Reverses the effects of aging
--Improves the flow and function of the chi (life force energy)
--Calms and regulates the central nervous system
--Increases vitality
--Stills the mind and opens the heart
--Lowers high blood pressure
--Improves immunity, balance, circulation, physical coordination and flexibility
--Deepens intuition and spiritual connection
--Increases healing power
--Reclaims health and joy in life!
Appropriate for any age or fitness level! Beginners welcome!

Tai Chi Chuan translates as “Supreme Ultimate Boxing." The Supreme Ultimate refers to the Tao (Dao),
the framework within which Yin and Yang manifest in nature. Tao is the Path or the Way. Tai Chi Chuan
is a profound martial and healing art, and Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi Chuan is a rare and powerful form of
self-defense and internal energy cultivation. Practicing Tai Chi Chuan builds health, vitality, joy, meditative
focus, flexibility, resilience and internal power. Because Tai Chi deeply relaxes and releases the nervous
system, it is the perfect remedy for stress and stress-related disease. Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong movements
powerfully increase the circulation and nutritive flow of blood, fluid and energy to all the connective tissues,
increasing tone, elasticity, flexibility, and bone, joint and organ health!
Appropriate for any age or fitness level. Beginners welcome!

Early morning Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong practice in the park to build health and vitality, meditative
focus, flexibility, resilience and internal power.
Tai Chi Chuan translates as “Supreme Ultimate Boxing." The Supreme Ultimate refers to
the Tao (Dao), the framework within which Yin and Yang manifest in nature. Tao is the Path
or the Way. Tai Chi Chuan is a profound martial and healing art, and Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi
Chuan is a rare and powerful form of self-defense and internal energy cultivation. It is the perfect
remedy for stress and stress-related disease. Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong movements powerfully
increase the circulation and nutritive flow of blood, fluid and energy to all the connective tissues,
increasing tone, elasticity, flexibility, bone, joint and organ health!
Qigong is one of the most powerful self-healing traditions developed in human history.
Those who use Qigong faithfully tend to need less medication, less acupuncture and heal faster.
The primary mechanism that is activated by one's practice of Qigong is a spontaneous balancing
and enhancing of the natural healing resources in the human system. Over thousands of years,
millions of people have received the benefit of these practices, believing that improving the flow
and function of the qi (chi) reverses the effects of aging and empowers you to reclaim health and
joy in your life.
Appropriate for any age or fitness level. Beginners welcome!
