WHAT:
無極氣功 (Wuji Primordial Qìgōng) with Dr. Kathy Yep
5-Week Session

Wuji Primordial Qìgōng was taught to me by the late Dr. Bingkun Hu. The form I learned traces its roots to Zhang Sanfeng and has been passed down through a lineage spanning more than 800 years. As with many traditional practices, there are variations depending on the teacher and lineage.

In this course, I will share a Daoist form consisting of standing and turning movements, circles and spirals, and two primary sections that cultivate connection with Earth and Heaven. The complete set takes approximately 10–15 minutes to practice and may be adapted for standing, seated, or lying-down participation.

Thank you for today’s online practice with Bonnie, Katherine, Henny, Jasmine, and Juliet. People brought in themes of spaciousness and lusciousness in order to release stress, tension, and anxiety; being with such as connecting with grief, fea; listening to rhythm and pulses and connecting with the emptiness of the universe (the dao); translating this connection or dialogue to life such as relationships, workplaces and more. Much gratitude for practicing together and co-teaching/c-learning.
