Soaring Crane Qigong
All newcomers to Qigong must take a Level One series or workshop, or the Remedy Routines series. Those who have learned Level One at Two Dog or elsewhere are welcome to join a practice session. The form can be practiced at all levels of physical ability and can be done sitting or lying down as needed. If you have questions, contact Martha. See Qigong Schedule & Fees for current dates, offerings and payment information.
NOTE: Focused mind-work is a requirement of Soaring Crane Qigong: other forms are better suited for those unable to sustain consistent mental focus, either because of medications or psychological circumstance. Soaring Crane Qigong should not be practiced by pregnant women. Please contact the studio if you have questions.
Level I
Beginners to Soaring Crane Qigong start with this Level One series. Instruction includes two short Remedy Routines and the Five Routines, a comprehensive movement-based meditation form. Together, these forms provide the foundation for practice and the restoration of balance and health. Choose from weekly classes on weekdays or weeknights, or a 12-hour weekend workshop offered three times each year. Students have the opportunity to purchase practice materials to support their home practice. Repeat students are welcome at a 50% discount. All abilities welcome.
Remedy Routines
A six-week series focusing on the eight Remedy Routines of Level One. Remedy Routines are easy to learn, can be practiced in a short amount of time and address physical and emotional issues such as high blood pressure, habitual overthinking, headaches and anger. Appropriate for those new to qigong as an entree to the form, as well as for those already practicing the Five Routines. Generally offered in winter. All abilities welcome.
Level I Qigong Practice Session
An opportunity for Level One practitioners to refine form, review theory and support home practice. The Practice Session includes a Remedy Routine, the Five Routines, coaching and discussion generated from pertinent topics or student questions. Practice sessions are ongoing unless otherwise noted and are open to those who have taken Level One at Two Dog or elsewhere.
Qigong has become my meditative oasis in the midst of each busy
day, every full week. This intentional way of moving energy lends clarity, health and joy to my life.
I truly appreciate the haven of Two Dog Yoga studio, for the shared practice, warm
community and generously-held leadership it provides.
