Yang Rou (Soft Body) Xingyiquan

Xingiquan is the most ancient Chinese internal martial arts, combining movement with the intention to gently “clean” all the joints of the body. This class is similar to qigong, it is a gentle practice that balances the energetic system while being easy to learn and practice.

The Soft Body method taught here has been passed down from renowned Xingyi Master Li Guichang to his son Li Runxi. Movements are easy to learn but rich in endless depth and subtle refinement. It’s a simple but powerful practice merging meditative awareness of one’s own body, breathwork, using the movements of the wu xing (Five Phases) and the Twelve Animals.

The many benefits of practicing Xingiquan include improved strength and balance, enhanced calm and focus, better physical alignment, increased energy and circulation, and the development of an advanced self defense style.

Cost: Sliding Scale $10-20 per class
