Qigong is one of the world’s most popular and best-researched methods to improve health and vitality. Regular practice makes the mind tranquil, reduces stress, and deepens your connection with nature.

In this program, learn the secrets of one of the greatest qigong masters in Chinese history: Wang Xiangzhai, equally renowned in healing, athletics, and spiritual wisdom. Wang’s Yi Quan style of qigong consists of healing exercises (quan) and meditations that open the mind (yi) to the energies of the universe.

This comprehensive system teaches you, in exquisite detail, the principles upon which all qigong is based.

You will learn:

• Standing and Walking Meditation: to promote mind/body harmony while improving postural alignment, breathing, relaxation, and balance.
• Experimenting with Energy: easy to learn movement patterns that improve coordination and energy flow.
• Peng Jing (Resilient Energy Training): to increase strength and prevent injuries.
• How to Store and Release Energy: create healthy boundaries to conserve energy and increase your capacity to give to others.
• Yi Quan training to improve your ability in Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Swimming, Golf, Tai Chi, Martial Arts, or any sport.
• Yi Quan Meditation: to develop inner peace, clarity, and concentration 

There will be time for discussion of the fascinating philosophy of qigong, including inspiring stories of the old masters. Yi Quan is a highly enjoyable practice that, with patience and dedication, leads to a more fully alive body and mind.

The course is open to all levels, including beginners.

“I am the student with Parkinson’s from the recent workshop. I want to tell you that I have been significantly better since the weekend. My movements are easier and quicker. I feel well, rather than ill, and have more energy!”

“For five years I have been seeing blood specialists because of an extremely low WBC (white blood cell count). Yesterday I went for my six-month check up. I could hardly believe it when the doctor told me that my WBC was normal! The improvement is not just a little, but substantial. The main thing that was different was that I have been consistently doing primordial qigong. What else could explain this?  I am so grateful and happy. Thank you.”

“Without actually being in Ken Cohen’s presence, it would be very hard to believe that an American could have such profound and detailed understanding of traditional Chinese culture. His Qigong movements express true mastery and a deep cultivation of the spirit of China. Professor Kenneth Cohen’s dissemination of Chinese culture to the Western World is an enormous work and a glorious achievement.”
