Reserve A SpotMove
Most every day, our group gathers with the morning sun to move. We circle each joint on its own, then together as a coordinated whole. Each movement is gradual and progressive, both clearing and nourishing. There is no better way to start the day than with simple stretches and slow, steady breaths. Set the tone for your workweek with this morning mindfulness flow.
Massage
Each of our movements is complimented with a gentle massage. Polishing is used to warm the region and sooth the muscles, then percussive patting is used to disperse tension from the tissues and promote the flow of blood and lymph. Acupoints are held and pressed along tendo-meridian lines that link the limbs. For every moment of movement there are two moments for massage.
Meditate
For some, meditation is a scary thought. Many can be intimidated by the threat of being left all alone with nothing but their thoughts. From our view, meditation takes on a celebratory role. Consider that gentle movement and massage can generate an enjoyable result for oneself. Meditation is simply taking time to enjoy this benefit. In that light, meditation can become quite a pleasurable pursuit.

“As a financial analyst, I was exhausted and depleted.” Says Eileen, “I first discovered Qigong by chance when I saw an ad for a “Chinese Yoga” class at a local gym. Within three months of training, my neck and hand numbness vanished, my sleep quality noticeably improved and I was able to avoid surgery.”
“After experiencing my transformation, I decided to take a trip to Wudang, China for a Daoist pilgrimage tour. I went because I was seeking the root of health and wellness teachings. On that trip, I became a lineage-inheriting disciple, and vowed to bring the tradition forward to future generations."
“Sunrise Flow” Qigong Sessions are held at 7:30am every Monday through Saturday in the main courtyard of the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland. Groups gather rain or shine and train for at least one hour.
