Spherical Exercises

Spherical qigong exercises help improve flexibility, strength, and balance. They promote joint mobility, circulation, and the release of tension in the muscles and connective tissues. Regular practice can enhance posture, coordination, and body awareness. By moving energy in circular patterns, practitioners stimulate the channels and encourage the smooth flow of qi. This can result in increased vitality, improved organ function, and a sense of inner balance.

5 Elements Qigong

5 Phases Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice that focuses on cultivating and balancing the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—within the body. Each phase in 5 Phases Qigong is associated with specific organs, meridians (energy pathways), emotions, and qualities. By engaging in specific movements, breathwork, visualizations, and meditations associated with each element, practitioners seek to cultivate and balance the corresponding energies within themselves.

Our adults' gongfu class offers an invigorating and enriching experience for individuals of all skill levels. Participants will immerse themselves in traditional Chinese martial arts, focusing on developing strength, flexibility, and mental discipline. The class begins with a series of warm-up exercises to prepare the body, followed by detailed instruction in various gongfu techniques, including striking, kicking, and defensive maneuvers. Emphasis is placed on precise movements, proper form, and the integration of breath control.

Under the guidance of experienced instructors, Emily Morrison and Felicia Ballos, each session not only enhances physical fitness but also fosters a deep sense of inner peace and confidence.
