YANG STYLE TAI CHI, OR TAIJI CHIN NA AND TAIJI WRESTLING

Exploring the Martial Roots of Taijiquan In-Depth

YMAA Boston, Boston, MA - February 6-7, 2010, 9:00am - 5:00pm

Taijiquan (or Tai Chi Chuan) has martial origins but is highly promoted for its health benefits. Every movement of the sequence has a meaning, a proper alignment of the body, a pattern of breathing and an intention of the mind. That is why learning and understanding the intention of each movement is so important. Dr. Yang will teach the Yang Long Form, Taiji Chin Na, and Taiji Wrestling applications with the help of YMAA Boston Instructors.

QIGONG LEVEL 1

Qigong Theory and Qigong for Spine and Chest

YMAA Boston, Boston, MA - February 20-21, 2010, 9:00am - 5:00pm

Qigong is the ancient art of using the mind to naturally develop the body's Qi (energy) for improved health and longevity. How does practicing Qigong help maintain health and increase longevity? How does Qigong relate to the "cultivation of internal energy" in your body? These and many other questions will be discussed comprehensively in this seminar. Although designed to help a beginner understand the basic concepts of Qigong from scratch, this seminar can also be beneficial to experienced Qigong practitioners because they can draw on and learn from Dr. Yang's personal experiences and practice. The concepts learned from this seminar can be used as a strong foundation for a deeper understanding of the training. Also, exercises for feeling Qi, and "softening and relaxing" the chest and spine will be practiced.

Da Mo's Secret of Youth

Muscle/Tendon Changing and Marrow/Brain Washing Qigong was passed down to Shaolin priests by Bodhidharma around 530 AD. Muscle/Tendon Changing is a "Yang" type of training that helps to develop and condition the physical body's strength, enhancing the body's immune system. Marrow/Brain Washing Qigong targets maintaining healthy bone marrow for longevity and nourishing the brain such that the third-eye can be re-opened (spiritual enlightenment).
