氣功 Qi Gong

Essence of Yi Shui Kong Practice

Can elegant Asian beauty, youthful vigor, physical strength and health, mental powers of concentration and imagination, and a calming state of mind all be achieved through the ancient Chinese practice of Qi Gong? Seven thousand years of Chinese history has seen development of many things. Qi Gong resulted from this test of time because of its extraordinary benefits. With heritage from a secretive branch of the Qi Gong tradition practiced by the Chinese Royal Family, Yi Shui Kong is brought from Beijing to America by Teacher Lin Yang.

Yi Shui Kong is a wonderful style of Qi Gong. It's like a Zen Dance -- a moving meditation that is enjoyable to learn and nourishing to practice. It has the historical and spiritual depth, and the stretching, flexibility and breathing of practices like yoga, coupled with a dynamic movement-based tradition that includes martial art roots and develops inner strength for elegant grace and beauty. Because of this greater richness, Qi Gong is poised to surpass yoga in popularity over the coming decades. Already, one sees Qi Gong group practice throughout public parks in China by estimated tens of millions of people.

Qi Gong Yi Shui Kong seeks to develop and balance Qi, pronounced “chi” and meaning “life energy”. Instruction in proper breathing and posture complements almost-magical movement routines that simultaneously stretch and strengthen the physical body while tuning balance and mental focus. Yi Shui Kong is especially notable for the elegant style of martial arts incorporated, and adaptation to a modern world while remaining true to its traditional foundation.
