Yoga with Julie

Classes every Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m.

Noticing how well I felt after taking one yoga class, I was hooked. That was almost 15 years ago. Yoga has become one of my passions. I have studied several different styles of yoga with a variety of instructors. I love the philosophy of yoga and have been enjoying teaching for about 6 years. During each session we will work all the major muscle groups but before we start I like to ask input from the class participants. If there is anyone who has a particular stiff area or certain request, we can focus on those as well. This allows for each session to be customized, individual, and different from the last. Once per month I will have a 1 & 1/2 hour class, just for fun. (same price, date posted monthly at The Zen Room)

Qigong with Muhammed

Classes every Saturday at 8 a.m. at the Riverfront Park.

Qigong
(Chi Kung)

The Zen room will start to offer Chi Kung (Qigong) Workshops. Chi kung (Qigong) is a series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy exercises that helps the practitioner increased physical energy, release tension, improved health and gain the ability to heal oneself and others. The word Qigong is made up of two Chinese words. Qi is usually translated to mean the life force that flows through all things in the universe and gong means a skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Together, Qigong means cultivating energy. Qigong is one of the most powerful prescription a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor can use because it works directly on the body's healing energy system. Today in China, more than 100 million people practice is this self-healing energy system daily. In hospitals and clinics across China, Qigong is routinely prescribed to treat arthritis, asthma, bowel problems, diabetes, migraines, hypertension, rheumatism, neuralgia, stress, ulcers, and many other conditions. Qigong has also been used to successfully treat cancer and reduce or even eliminated the debilitating side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. The gentle rhythmic movements of Qigong has been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. Those who maintain a constant practice of Qigong find that it helps one regain a youthful vitality, maintain health even into old age and speeds recovery from illness. Qigong's great appeal is that everyone can benefit, regardless of ability, age, belief system or life circumstances.

About C. Muhammad A. Haqq


I earned black belts in Shotokan Karate and Aikido. I began my study of T'ai Chi Ch'uan (Yang Style) under the direction of Master T.T. Liang in 1978. Master Liang was 76 years old and had been practicing T'ai Chi for over 30 years. I thank him for his time and the wealth of knowledge that he so graciously shared with me.
In 1979, I began my study of Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis www.wahlum.com/wah_lum_history.htm with Master P. Chan in Boston, Massachusetts. I moved to Orlando, Florida in 1980 and became the first inhabitant of the Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple, first dormitory facility in the U.S. devoted to studying of Kung Fu. I enrolled in a special program for the training of professional kung fu instructors and devoted myself to the learning of the practice, principles, and philosophy of Chinese martial arts. For over four and one half years of rigorous training, I practiced Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu, T'ai Chi Ch'uan (Chen and Yang Styles), a variety of Chinese weapons' forms and a array of Chi Kung exercises and meditations. I also taught classes and was the General Manger of the Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple, www.wahlum.com. Since then, I have given numerous demonstrations, lectures, workshops, and seminars around the country. My students' ages range from 4 to 70. T'ai Chi is truly a remarkable art. It is my sincere wish that my classes will help you to be healthy and at peace. Thank you.
