(White through Green Belts)

This is a monthly class, being held regularly on the last Saturday of the month.  Various forms of Japanese and Chinese energy cultivation exercises, and Asian medicine theory and techniques will be taught.

The energy cultivation exercises will be selected forms of Japanese Ki-waza, and/or Chinese Qigong or Neigong which will complement the lessons offered in Asian medicine.  They build both the health and treatment abilities of the practitioners.  Ki-Waza are basic and advanced Japanese energy cultivation exercises for health, martial power and mindfulness.  Qigong are Chinese energy collection and balancing exercises. Neigong are Advanced Chinese "Internal Cultivation" exercises for the health of the Qi--vital/functional energy, Shen--heart/mind/spirit, and Jing--vital longevity energy.

The Asian medicine taught will generally be shiatsu bodywork therapy theory and technique, including anma (massage) and tsubo ryoho (acu-point therapy using acupressure).  Topics may also include microsystems therapies, dietary and other lifestyle wellness theory, and Chinese herbal medicine information for laymen.
