Course Details

Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigongi is one of the most direct and accessible healing systems to emanate from China, where it is known for its ability to help prevent and heal cancer, as well as to mitigate the effects of chemotherapy and radiation.  It is a superior low-impact health maintenance exercise grounded in spirituality. 

Based on Acupuncture
This 1500-year-old self-healing medical qigong is based on the principles of acupuncture.

Seven Gentle Movements
Dragon and Tiger is composed of seven simple movements—one set only takes about 15 minutes. Movements are soft, circular and fluid, enhancing your overall ability to move gracefully. Practice relaxes and softens all the body’s muscles and improves blood circulation. Invigorating, yet calming, Dragon and Tiger will help you release stress and pain.

Develop the Agility and Flexibility of a Flying Dragon and the Relaxed Power of a Walking Tiger
Movements improve physical balance, coordination and flexibility and stretch the legs, waist and upper body. Practice will increase your range of movement—especially in the upper body. This relaxing yet invigorating set is a perfect complement to those who do tai chi; yoga and dance practitioners will also find this a wonderful prana (chi) moving practice to complement yoga postures and dance routines.

Dragon and Tiger Qigong is one of the most beneficial qigong sets ever developed. It can be practiced by virtually anyone regardless of age or current state of health. Many students find it a fun set to practice and actually begin to FEEL their chi when they do.
–Bruce Frantzis


Dragon and Tiger is especially renowned for simultaneously accomplishing three major changes in the body that are necessary for healing:

  • Releases stagnant chi that cannot move freely. Stagnant chi can be located anywhere there is a physical, emotional or psychic blockage of energy.
  • Increases the speed, strength and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood and other fluids. This balances the body's energy.
  • Quickly raises the energy levels of the body to boost your natural healing capacities.

Bruce will provide in-depth instructions to help you learn to feel and work with the chi of the acupuncture meridian lines, and to project chi from your hands. More experience practitioners will learn how Dragon and Tiger has been applied for centuries in China to energetically heal oneself and others by clearing blockages in the etheric field (aura).

For those in the medical and healing professions, this course is an excellent introduction to medical qigong. The practice is also particularly beneficial for body workers, acupuncturists and healthcare professionals to avoid burnout.

Event Structure

The daily class schedule will consist of six hours of direct instruction from Bruce and his senior instructors. For those attemping certification there will be significant personal and group "homework" outside of  regular class times.

Prerequisites: All are welcome. Participants will be offered one of three attendance tracks.

Track 1--Attend without testing for certification.

Track 2--Attempt to certifiy as a Level 1 instructor. Although it is ideal to have prior knowledge of Dragon and Tiger Qigongi, a beginner who has some talent in other movement or energetic work can reach Level 1 Instructor certification by the end of the training. To do so will require a rigorus training routine in and outside of class.

Track 3--Enrollment into the Level 2 training certification track is limited, regardless of past experience, and will be offered at the discretion of the instructor. If you want to be considered for the Level 2 training you must send a request by email to: eaweb@energyarts.com, before Apr 17, 2012.
