Standing Qigong Intensive

After energy is stirred and circulated, a resting period is necessary for the energy to penetrate the muscular-skeletal system, the organs, the meridians, and the dantiens. Standing qigong provides the most effective forms that allow energy to rest and be absorbed deep inside the body.

In this program you will: Receive intensive instruction in the 8 postures of Yiquan Zhangzhuang. Learn how to use standing forms of Xiantianwujimen to incubate internal energy after stirring and tumbling energy in the lower, middle, and upper dantiens. Learn how to use the 12 Wudangshan Standing Qigong Forms to create internal space and move energy through it.
