ABOUT
"The name 'Spring Thunder' came to me after waking up to a loud clap of Thunder and Lightning early in the morning as spring was approaching. Spring is the season of growth, wind, the rising sun, new beginnings, youth, and the Green Dragon in eastern thought. Thunder represents Spiritual Awakening in many traditions. It is said that at the time of true awakening that Thunder and Lightning will be heard. Taiji means 'supreme ultimate', the philosophy utilized in many Eastern arts and is based on the oneness of Yin and Yang polarities." -Scott B.

COMING SOON:
I-Ching Qigong, also known as Bagua Qigong.
I-Ching Qigong is a 4000+ year old method of medical Qigong capable of building energy and opening all the channels of the body. Often used by Taoists in monasteries, this was a health and spiritual system that was often done while walking in different patterns (most notably circle walking), and holding your arms and hands in different postures. This method is based on the I-Ching, classically known as the Book of Changes. Today, it is often considered an Internal Martial Art like Tai Chi due to changes made by the modern day founder, Dong Hai Chuan who combined Shaolin techniques with this medical Qigong. In this class, we will focus on the health and spiritual techniques embeded within the art which are the foundational practices for those who want to learn martial aspects in the future. *This unique form of I-Ching Qigong (baguazhang) also has many clinically applied Qigong methods that are contained within it for those who want to perform Reiki like techniques and acupressure to heal others.
