Qigong & Meditation Classes

"Suzannah is a knowledgeable and patient teacher. I've taken two series of classes from her, the Eight Brocades and Daoist Five Organ Qigong. Qigong is now a beautiful part of my meditation practice. It helps me to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice the movements of the body and how the mind follows."

Fall 2019 Class Series Offering: Begins Monday, October 28th!

9 Phases Transformational Qigong 

Class offered 6 Monday nights in-person in Noe Valley 7:00-8:30pm and online 5-6pm. 
9 Phases Transformational Qigong is a fluid and yin-in-nature movement meditation practice that is powerful for cultivating mind-body-spirit connection. Benefits include increasing physical mobility and energy, opening heart space and allowing of emotional movement (de-stressing) and tuning in and connecting more deeply with yourself. If you have tried and enjoyed qigong or are interested in personal growth and inner transformation, this class will take you on a journey of discovering and expanding your energy, heart and spiritual connection. The practice and theory is based off of The Healing Promise of Qi book and practice by Roger Janhke and the International Institute of Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC).
 
In this class, you will learn step-by-step this easy to follow form. This form has become a grounding and foundational practice for many students and this is a rare experience to have clear and personal instruction to practice and master the 9 movements. Qigong practice is accompanied by brief aligning meditations and lectures on inner alchemy and Daoist practices to  the transformation process.

The 9 phases form takes you on a journey of connecting to the physical body, opening and purifying the heart-mind and further awakening spiritual connection and intuition. Students have found this form to be "deep, inspiring, and beautiful."

This class is great for new and experienced practitioners alike. If you are new to qigong, this practice is a powerful way to reboot your energetic system and to connect the body-mind-spirit for greater health, vitality, relaxation, and focus.
