Course Description
This 10-part course offers a progressive exploration of Zhang Zhuang or Standing Qi Gong. Each session builds on the last—refining alignment, releasing unnecessary tension, and developing a clearer internal connection throughout the body.
You’ll learn how to build a strong, well-integrated structure, uniting posture, breath, and awareness into a single practice. As the body opens and the nervous system settles, strength and stillness develop side by side.
Who is this course for?
Ultimately this course is for anyone, but especially for those:
- Adults who feel stressed, tense, stiff or physically depleted
- People recovering from illness, injury, or long-term fatigue
- Beginners who want a simple, effective starting point

- Therapists and practitioners looking to understand the body more directly
