Taiji and Qi Gong Classes

Standing Meditation

Also known as Zhan Zhuang (pronounced "Jan Jong") it means "standing like a stake", or "standing like a tree". This is a gentle yet profoundly beneficial form of exercise, requiring very little movement. Tap into deep reserves to build stamina, strengthen immunity, relieve chronic illness and promote the natural regeneration of the nervous system. This unique approach combines exertion and relaxation simultaneously.

This exercise is especially good for weight-loss and improving the complexion. Simple and graceful movements keep the spine and joints flexible while increasing metabolism and vitality.

Emphasizing slow movement from the center in a relaxed and integrated way. Based on profound Taoist principles of balance and harmony, Taiji unifies the mind and body, increasing energy and improving health and balance.
