Qi Gong:
More Than Just Exercise
Qi Gong is a beautiful vehicle that brings you into the present moment—body and mind.
It allows you to have experiences of yourself as an energetic being. It takes you deep into your heart to meet your true self. It gets you into the state of flow—where you feel your oneness with everything.
Imagine feeling a newfound sense of connection—with yourself, with others, with nature, and with something bigger than yourself.
Qi Gong can ignite a spark within you, helping you see the world through a fresh pair of eyes, filled with wonder and clarity.
Through the practice, your life takes on new meaning—with a renewed vision for your path forward.
As an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi Gong goes beyond physical movement. In the training, we delve into the TCM functions of each exercise, exploring how it influences the flow of energy (Qi) in your body, and how it impacts the balance of your organs and inner functions.
Come and learn Qi Gong with us. It’s a doorway to a healthier, vibrant, and fulfilling life.
'You will get to look into the world with very different eyes. You will get to bring more happiness into your life. You will experience more joy by doing what you love in life. Live with passion and live your new life in your brand new world.'
- Peter Caughey

Since very early in her practice, she felt the self-healing qualities of Qi Gong, which ultimately led her to study various practices—from the classical sets of Qi Gong, to medical Qi Gong, and to the newest addition, Taiji.
She believes that Qi Gong is a simple path to feeling healthier, happier, and more vibrant.
