My friend, Ann, and I had our first session with Tommy’s Qi Gong DVD.  At the end, when Tommy says, “How do you feel? Wonderful?”  Ann exclaimed, “No!  I feel Tired!”  I had to laugh – I agreed.  How could something so seemingly simple and easy give you such a great workout?  After just three sessions, though, we were feeling more “wonderful” than tired – and that surprised us, too – how quickly we had started feeling the benefits.

I was thrilled when I advanced enough to do the session along with Tommy on the DVD in the “Ritual.” section.  The quietness of it, and being able to flow with the movements is so peaceful, it just makes my day.

I don’t know the movements well enough to do them completely on my own yet, and although I very much enjoyed my trip out of state to visit family for the holidays, when I got back I realized that I was glad to be home and to get back to doing Qi Gong with Tommy’s DVD.  I’d really missed it.

With the opening of Studio Seven in Lake Havasu City there is now a suitable facility to hold classed.  Thank You! to Marlo Waters for her efforts in establishing this space that will accommodate a variety of Classes and Events.

Julia and I will be teaching a Qi Gong 18 Style for Health & Longevity 4 day series at 8:15 AM on February 8, 9, 10 & 11.  Classes will be one hour. You will be given step by step instructions and then perform the ritual along with us. Cost of the series is $50.00. To register email us at: info@qigong18style.com

In life, one thing leads to another. Our Chiropractor mentioned that they would be doing the local Health Fair and invited us to join them to display our DVD of Qi Gong 18 Style for Health & Longevity. That was a fun day and we met a lot of great people, even encountered some of our former students. One of the attendees was the Director of Prestige Assisted Living Center. She asked if we could come and do a presentation for the residents. Of course we agreed and the date was set.

The initial introduction to Qi Gong was well attended, and there was interest from the residents to learn more.  Classes were scheduled.

What a joy it is to work with people in their 70‘s, 80‘s and even 90‘s who are willing to learn something new, stretch themselves both mentally and physically and participate. After the first class, which was also well attended, the students were excited and decided among themselves to use the DVD to practice several times per week until the next class.

That was two weeks ago. Today we went back for the second class. We were greeted by an enthusiastic group ready for another lesson. All were amazed at how difficult it was to breath, especially inhaling and expanding the belly. They each played “full out” and all felt they had improved themselves in some way with this 20 minute ritual.
