Autumn is a great time to start Qigong classes( pronounced chee-gung). As the temperature starts to drop and we lose our precious daylight, we need to take steps to keep the body strong and the attitude positive. By adjusting to the season's change, we can more easily avoid the illnesses and depression that often are experienced during Winter time. In this class, you will be introduced to a series of beginner's forms which will prepare you for the movements covered in the Wild Goose Qigong system. As a beginner, you will start with Balancing Gong and Healthy Living Gongs I,II, and III. Each form covers a different area, Balancing Gong is good for posture, balance, coordination, and flexibility. Healthy Living Gong I focuses on relaxation, II develops fitness and, III cultivates power and physical strength. Upon completing these forms, the student will have a deeper understanding of the rudimentary elements of Qigong, their relationship to the body, and will be introduced to Dayan Gong/ Wild Goose Qigong. The Wild Goose Qigong system was created over 1800 years ago during the Jin dynasty by Taoist monks living in the Kunlun Mountains in China. The exercises in this Chinese health system use fluttering, slapping, patting, stretching, jumping and acupressure or massage to stimulate the channels and meridians, and in turn enable us to dispel old or stagnant Qi and to welcome in fresh Qi. With greater circulation and increased vitality, we are able to decrease the frequency of illness as well as the time needed to heal injuries. When you visit the class, you will likely see people at different levels, some beginners, intermediates, and advanced students, as the class is ongoing and all are welcome.

    Review of Derek Fowler, January 23, 2009

    Through beginning classes in Qigong with Derek Fowler, I have learned ways to be aware of the energy that flows around me and through my body. I have increased my strength in a subtle way, and become more limber. No matter how tired I am at the end of a busy day, an hour of Qigong in class with Derek renews my energy, my feeling of well being, and I am calm, smiling and at peace. I practice as much as I can during my week, and come away from the weekly classes with a new depth in understanding my energy and my body.

    Review of Derek Fowler, November 07, 2008

    I would highly recommend Derek Fowler's Qigong classes to anyone interested in increasing his/her energy, flexibility, and overall health. I have practiced qigong with Derek for a number of years and have been impressed with his dedication to the study of qigong and related disciplines.

    One of the things that distinguishes Derek from other instructors is his deep understanding of the energetic basis of the Wild Goose qigong forms. Almost anyone can learn or even teach surface movements, but Derek's detailed, yet intuitive instruction--based on many years study of Chinese five element theory--enhances his students' ability to progress at a steady rate.

    In Derek's classes, the focus is on developing a solid foundation from which to build future and more complex skill. He's great at breaking movements down into step-by-step segments, is patient and has a unique and fun sense-of humor. The classes are structured, yet informal and relaxing, with a sense of camraderie.
