What is Yuan Qigong?

“I am so surprised how these practices are extraordinarily simple and yet so powerful. In just one day I already feel more clear energy in my body. I have a sense of a big RESET and a more authentic, grounded presence." - Brady S., Los ALtos, CA
“I loved learning Ren Xue Levels I & II at your retreat home! Your Qi Studio has such a great vibe bringing peace, calmness, joy and relaxation the minute I stepped in. You both have a beautiful style of teaching that brings such harmony and connection to the group. You made learning the movements so simple, and I am excited to continue my daily practice. Thank you!” - Donna A., Nevada City, CA
"I feel deeply relaxed and also alert at the same time. I am very clear and rested, eager to learn more. Thank you for creating the space and field for us.” - Laurie B., Nevada City, CA
