The Five Elements Health Form – 6 Week Online Course
Qigong (“Chee Kung”) is an ancient form of energy exercise which combines breathing, specific movement patterns, and focused intention in a powerful practice that helps you transform stress, center yourself, and improve your health and internal energy. This course introduces you to the Five Elements (Wu Xing Jing) Qigong form.
The Five Element Framework is ancient and deeply woven into the fabric of Chinese and Eastern cultures. Five Element theory is the foundation of Chinese disciplines such as feng shui, the martial arts, and the I Ching (The Book of Changes); and it provides a comprehensive template that organizes all natural phenomena into five master groups or patterns or phases in nature: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
From a health enhancement and medical perspective, the Five Elements Framework provides a master blueprint that diagrams how nature interacts with the body and how the different dimensions of our being impact each other, as well as a diagnostic framework to recognize where imbalances in the body, mind, emotions, and spirit lie. The Five Elements include the five Yin organs (and their corresponding Yang organs) and address the interconnected relationships between them. Each exercise in the Wu Xing is targeted to a specific organ system and helps to support, regulate and balance that organ.
In this course, we will go deep into the movement AND the breathing and energetics of each exercise. We will also discuss the characteristics of each element so you can more fully integrate your Qigong exercises into a powerful health practice. Dr. Karen bypasses all the “woo woo” stuff and focuses on the foundational elements of a successful practice, so you can reap the benefits from your first day of learning.

Simple Qigong Exercises for Health and Vitality: The Eight Pieces of Brocade – 9-Week Online Course
Qigong (“Chee Kung”) is an ancient form of energy exercise which combines breathing, specific movement patterns, and focused intention in a powerful practice that helps you transform stress, center yourself, and improve your health and internal energy. This course introduces you to the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) Qigong form.
The Eight Pieces of Brocade is a well-known and highly regarded Qi Gong form. Legend has it that Chinese General Yueh Fei developed these exercises in the 12th century to help condition and strengthen his troops. As we discuss in Video 1, this may not be the full story, and exercises within the form are actually a lot older. This form provides a wonderful health practice that stretches and strengthens us physically, uses our movement to induce qi flow, and targets important meridians to support health.
In this course, we will go deep into the movement AND the breathing and energetics of each exercise. We will also discuss how to integrate the individual exercises and overall form into a powerful health regimen. Dr. Karen bypasses all the “woo woo” stuff and focuses on the foundational elements of a successful practice, so you can reap the benefits from your first day of learning.

Qigong and Breathwork for Martial Arts – 7-Week Online Course
For centuries, Qigong and specific forms of Breathwork were traditionally taught in tandem with martial arts instruction. In modern times, unfortunately, the two have been disconnected. However, specific breathing and Qigong exercises provide a wonderful complement to your martial arts training and help reinforce the traditional approach that has been lost in many martial arts schools and styles.
Qigong exercises work energetically to help regulate and unblock the internal energy meridians and stretch and strengthen the physical structure, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascial structures. This can help enhance your martial arts practice today AND extend your ability to train and stay healthy as you get older.
Applied breathwork supports the development of breath control, the ability to breathe “behind the shield”, and improves your ability to apply kime or focus at the micro-second of contact when striking or kicking.
This course provides you with a wonderful introduction to these ancient and vital practices. Dr. Karen bypasses all the “woo woo” stuff and focuses on the foundational elements of a successful practice, so you can reap the benefits from your first day of learning.
