Qi Gong

Ancient Alchemy Medicine for our modern times.

Qi Gong (pronounced chi gong), is an energy cultivation practice from China that strengthens the mind, body, and immune system with the added benefit of it being a strong spiritual practice.

All things, including matter and thoughts, manifest from Qi according to traditional Chinese medicine.

In this tradition, it is understood that everything is seeking balance, thus Qi Gong is a functional discipline that honors and operates from and for the flow of the cycles of life.

There is no preference other than balance. Meaning, even too much joy is seen as an imbalance that can upset our system, causing a ripple effect throughout our body, mind and spirit. This can be a foreign concept to the modern and western world where having and attaining more is the goal instead of balance and wholeness.

Through mindful and gentle, yet powerful physical exercises that connect us to our breath and vital life force, a reverence for nature, the cosmos and inclusive to all of humanity, these ancient and modern practices are an accessible and generous way to bring sacredness and balance to our lives.

“I have found grace and power in doing Qi Gong daily. I am usually terrible at committing to doing anything daily.  But it takes so little effort to learn this series that resistance was quickly overcome by the memory of knowing how good and tall and open the practice makes me feel.

The ease in learning is because of the way Rie delivers: she gives simple, precise instructions, allowing for aches and pains, in a teaching space that is spacious, soft and open. Each step is taught in the amount of time I would spend hating myself for browsing instagram first thing in the morning. So it’s easy to choose self-love!”

-May Yeung, Hong Kong/Los Angeles, Qi Gong 8 Treasures Series Participant
