Tai Chi Master, Arthur Rosenfeld on Kaua’i, April 17-22

The Martial Art of Tai Chi Chuan These days, almost every fitness buff and their grandmother has heard about Tai Chi, the gentle, slow-moving, stretching exercises that appear more like a graceful dance than the deceptive, highly-skilled martial art that it is.  You may have even heard about the various styles of Tai Chi – [...]

Update: Thailand Qigong Study Trip, March 25 – April 8, 2012

Home to Kaua’i I promised myself this year I would return home at least once every season.  On Kaua’i that means the wet season, the even-wetter season, and the drying-out-from-the-wet season.  You can’t claim the garden isle to be “the wettest spot on earth” without some drenching downpours!   Fortunately, with rain also comes rainbows [...]

2012 Schedule – Chinese Year of the Water Dragon

I look back on 2011 with wonder, joy and gratitude for all the friendships, new and old, that have given me the fuel to continue my work of teaching Qigong.  The nomadic life has been ever-busy and even exhausting at times, but the perfect training ground for teaching about stress management and how to stay [...]

Return to the Garden Isle

After nearly a year of living out of a suitcase, I am finally home on Kaua’i to breathe in the moist island air…to write, read, climb Nounou once more, and, dare I risk it…take a dip in the ocean? Many assume that I swim, living as I do on a small island in the middle of [...]

Toronto Workshop Photos & Holiday Greetings

Toronto Workshop at Xiaolan’s Health Centre Already a week has passed since my Toronto workshops…where does the time go?  It seems I am no sooner in the next city before I must leave again.  Time and place seem to be a constant-changing illusion, but one filled with much grace from the wonderful students and friends [...]

There is a richness of culture and depth of history that can only be fully [...]

Qigong: Ancient Chinese Healing for Modern Times

Five Thousand Years Ago… Five thousand years ago, the wealthy and elite of China practiced a secret self-healing art from behind closed doors called Qigong , pronounced “chee-gung”.
