Level One
The Seven Principle Exercises Qigong

The first step in achieving the sound body is to learn how to relax the body, elongate the tissues, free obstructed range of motion and learn skills to prevent the future accumulation of stress within the body.

The exercises, meditations, visualizations and mind/body integration skills start to relax and release the stress of the body in the very first session.

Students learn the Seven Principle Exercises Qigong (Chi Kung) created by the founder of Yang style Tai Chi Chuan: Yang Lu Shan and the Movements of Peace Qigong. At the end of eight weeks the students have a new relationship with their bodies.
