Unlock a healthier you with this comprehensive course led by renowned Qigong expert Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. This 3 hour 28-minute program delves into the powerful practice of Four Seasons Qigong (Si Ji Gong), a traditional medical Qigong system designed to regulate your body's energy throughout the year and enhance immunity.

What is Qigong?

Qigong, often described as "energy work" or "moving meditation," is an ancient practice focused on cultivating and balancing Qi (vital energy). This course utilizes simple, yet effective, exercises to boost your Wei Qi (guardian energy) and stimulate the belt vessel, an important energy meridian around the waist.

The Theory Behind Four Seasons Qigong

Four Seasons Qigong addresses the body's natural adaptability to seasonal changes. It's based on the understanding that illness often arises from a weakened immune response during transitions between seasons. Learn how to harmonize your body's Qi with the changing seasons to proactively maintain your health. This practice specifically targets the five internal Yin organs – heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen – aligning them with the corresponding seasons.
