“Giving medicine after the illness has arisen, trying to put things in order after chaos has erupted, this is like digging a well after you're thirsty, or casting weapons after the fight has begun. Isn't it too late?”
- Huang Di Neijing
Traditional physical culture practices are one of the best ways to maintain your health proactively, which prevents illness from arising in the first place. This is what makes them a vital part of Chinese medicine.
Physical Culture
Qi Gong and internal martial arts are based on the principles of relaxed, intentional movements that are coordinated with the breath. When done properly, this results in coordinated, controlled movements that bring about mental calm and awareness. Open to everyone– learning these practices leads to better overall health through improved coordination, embodiment and mental clarity.
Manual Therapy
Tuina is an ancient form of Chinese bodywork that is used to improve energy flow and encourage healing, and is used to treat a wide variety of ailments. Similar to acupuncture, Tuina works to move energy along the body’s three-dimensional system of channels & vessels. Classes are for everyone from lay people to professional massage therapists and acupuncturists.
“I stepped into Stefan’s Qigong class on a whim and a desire to learn full body energy work. He is incredibly skilled and his approach in teaching a newbie like myself was patient, kind, and centered around getting comfortable with the flow of movements. His classes left me with a calmer mind and the lovely energy boost I was seeking."
