Qigong folks - remember those eye exercises we did? Here's some more information.

Although often overlooked, the reflexes required to maintain proper eye alignment during head movements while walking or running involve highly intricate processes. These processes depend on sophisticated interactions among the eyes, cerebellum, brainstem, frontal lobe, vestibular system, and cervic...

Big question: how would you all feel about moving the Saturday morning class to another date in the week? Zachary is eyeballing Thursday or Friday and could swing Thursday morning or afternoon, Friday afternoon or early evening. It's also remotely possible that a Sunday morning before Rebecca's shift could be a thing.

Work life balance is a thing, and the Fire Rabbit family has decided it needs 1 day a week off where no one works.

Alternatively, a Zoom based session could be easily had almost anytime. Let us know your thoughts; it will be discussed in class.

What do we cover in Qigong class?

* Acupressure for common areas or points of the body that produce therapeutic results or prime us for a good Qigong practice

* Warmups and archetypical movements and patterns that assist us in learning about ourselves or Qigong movements

* How to breathe and how breathing can influences other systems and feelings in the body

* Qigong forms - we're primarily learning Shibashi Qigong, which is a extremely powerful set of movements designed to help us relax, regain strength, and develop sensitivity to inside and outside our bodies.

* Compare and contrast various Qigong movements to Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua postures - mostly for fun, but also to enable multiple paradigms of viewing movements from

* Tai Chi fundamentals - standing, weight shifting, turning, circling, walking, and circle walking.

* How to fart silently in class so no one can hear. (Congrats if you made it this far).

Have a nice day! There's more, but I thought I'd give a nice overview of the material for those who are unaware.

Qigong and Acupuncture this Saturday

When building out Fire Rabbit Acupuncture with Rebecca, I thought back about my experience of learning about Chinese medicine and Chinese internal arts. Long before I went to acupuncture school, I went to weekly Qigong classes at my classmate's community acupuncture clinic.

I was so energetically deficient, I couldn't even get out of my pajamas half the time and showed up haggard and depressed. By the end of the class, I felt like a new person almost every single time. I fell in love with Qigong and internal Chinese martial arts before acupuncture. But, later, as my knowledge grew, I saw how powerful of an intervention community-based healing could be with acupuncture in the mix.

Our not-so-hidden agenda is to show people that they can take an active part in their healing in various ways that suit them. For some, physical movement will be the heaviest hitter, and for others, deeply held relaxation and acupuncture work in a safe space will be the most beneficial. We also know that there will be many who cross over and use both resources.

It's our joy to share these lineage-based traditions with you. We've spent a long time curating the experience to strip it of most of the unhelpful stuff and make it accessible and enjoyable to incorporate into your lives.
