TAI CHI: WU STYLE SHORT FORM – BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE
THURSDAYS 6-7:30 pm, starting April 16
Tai Chi is practiced by millions across the world everyday for health, balance, stress relief, power, longevity, and fun. Its smooth, flowing movements gently exercise every part of the body inside and out, while also powerfully enhancing and balancing the flow of qi/energy. This is a perfect opportunity to learn the movements of the Wu Style Short Form from the beginning.

Both beginning and intermediate students are welcome. Taught by Senior Instructor Craig Barnes
DRAGON & TIGER QIGONG – INTERMEDIATE
WEDNESDAYS 6-7pm, starting April 15
Dragon & Tiger Qigong is a light and enjoyable set that is known for helping students gain a felt sense of the field of energy just outside of their skin. For those who have already learned the form, you’ll explore developing a greater felt sense of energy, deepening the smooth continuity of your movements, and enhancing the satisfaction and enjoyment of your practice to the point you look forward to it each day. Class Instructor – Paul Pallante
GODS PLAYING IN THE CLOUDS QIGONG – INTERMEDIATE
SATURDAYS 10-11am, starting April 18
Gods Qigong is a crown jewel of Daoist energy practices. It is a container that integrates all of the Energy Arts neigong (internal skills) into a coherent whole. Gods Qigong was a daily practice of Master Bruce Frantzis’ core teacher, Daoist Sage Liu Hung Chieh. Students will build on the movements learned last session and deepen their understanding of the internal mechanics that power the practice. Taught by Senior Instructor Craig Barnes
Master Classes with Bruce Frantzis
As a globally recognized internal arts master, Bruce’s classes are a unique experience that is different than what you’ll find in a standard curriculum. These classes can be inspirational and eye opening to a beginner, while also advancing experienced student’s skill level.
It’s generally advised to first experience the context and structure of beginner and intermediate style classes with the school instructors before attending classes with Bruce. It will help students to appreciate the nature of spontaneous Daoist teaching. All are welcome, but if you have any questions about whether these classes are a good fit for you, just ask!
SPIRALING ENERGY BODY POSTURES & PREPARATORY PRACTICES
Master Class w/ Bruce Frantzis
TUESDAYS 6:30-7:30pm, starting April 21
Spiraling Energy Body Qigong is the next progression of Energy Gates Qigong. It works with the rising currents of qi in the body, and is associated with the fire element. Spiraling Energy Body has the potential to dramatically increase your energy level. Bruce will be teaching the preparatory practices of learning Spiraling Energy Body, and will be teaching a set of hands raised postures to support the rising current of energy. This is one of the best possible preparations for this summer’s Spiraling Energy Body intensive if you plan to attend.
PULLING SILK & TWISTING NEIGONG IN TAI CHI Master Class w/ Bruce Frantzis
SATURDAYS, 11am – 12pm, starting April 18
Bruce will be leading students into a greater understanding of “pulling silk” from the Yang and Wu styles of tai chi, and shining a light on refining twisting neigong (internal skill) within the form. These subtle skills are at the root of a developed practice and can meaningfully upgrade your understanding, skill, and results from tai chi practice.
DAOIST MEDITATION: WORKING WITH THE INTERNAL ORGANS
Master Class w/ Bruce Frantzis
SATURDAYS, 12-12:30pm, starting April 18
Daoist meditation is unique in the way that it employs the body as a gateway to deep conscious awareness. The internal organs not only power the constitutional health of your physical body, they deeply influence emotional well being, mental states, and subtle energetic clarity. Bruce will be opening the potential of directed internal organ work using the techniques of Daoist meditation.
