Qigong

What is Qigong?

Movement and breath are the foundations of life. Our Qigong classes draw from Daoist teachings to cultivate strength, balance, and inner stillness. Classes are accessible to all levels and offer a space to reconnect to the natural rhythms within yourself and the world around you.

Your qigong instructor is an ordained Daoist Priest of the Quanzhen Longmen Lineage. Quanzhen is the Complete Reality school of Daoism and Longmen is the Dragon Gate sect. Priest Shane Fike (Bào Pǔ Tián) is a certified Qigong Teacher by the American Dragon Gate Lineage, Taoist & Qigong Training Center.

Step into a space of deep presence and renewal. Our Qigong classes offer a gentle yet powerful practice, weaving together mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're seeking to build strength, relieve stress, or cultivate inner stillness, these classes are designed to meet you where you are.

Each session focuses on simple, flowing movements and intentional breathing patterns to awaken your energy (Qi), improve circulation, and nurture resilience from within. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to slow down, listen to your body, and reconnect with your natural vitality.

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, grounded, and more connected to the life within you.
