Qi Cultivation Exercises
Before each class, we warm up with a series of movements to stretch the body and activate the Qi energy. The movements focus on core sections of the body but also work with specific body parts including the arms, legs, shoulders, lower back, hips, neck, wrists and even the fingers. The movements activate the Qi and clear up any blockages or energy imbalance.
In our Golden Gate Park class we also practice Walking Chi Kung and Tai Chi Kung.

Walking chi kung is a simple, yet powerful, practice that combines a normal walking stride with specific breathing sequences in order to stimulate select internal organs in the body.
Two Kup - One Fu - strengthens the kidneys and promotes overall health and vitality. Strong kidneys are essential to increases our energy.
Three Kup - Three Fu - resets the entire meridian system. When you are exhausted, feeling ill or just depleted from too much travel, this sequence is essential to help you reinvigorate the entire body.
Four Kup - One Fu - strengthens the lungs and respiratory system. Students suffering from asthma, allergies and other respiratory conditions can significantly improve their symptoms in a few weeks of practice.
Four Kup - Three Fu - is the ultimate walk. It takes several months of practice but produces deep cleansing, improved energy and heightened clarity of attention.
