I began my practice of Qigong in the Summer of 1983- I didn’t actually realize it was Qigong because I was studying a martial art , Shorin Ryu Shorinkan Karate, which is not often understood as a vehicle for Qigong practice! From 1983 until 2007 I earned certification as a Master Personal Trainer and owned Forest River Lifestyle Center. In 2007 I began Qigong study in earnest. I currently hold a Master Instructor certification in both Tai Chi and Qigong. I feel the practice is of great benefit in the balancing of emotional extremes and their subtle effects on both physical and mental well being. I think my classes are simple, interesting, and most importantly, fun.
