Reduce Stress, Live Well with Chinese Yoga

Enhance your health and gain more freedom and power in dealing with life while having more enjoyment in all aspects of your life!

"60-70% of all illnesses are lifestyle related. So it makes sense to treat lifestyle issues or do lifestyle interventions, and then use medicine for the problems that are left" (Dr. J Evens, M.D.)

Chinese yoga is a combination of yoga, acupressure, qigong and meditation based on the 5,000-year-old eastern traditions of health care. These exercises help the mind and body relax with gentle pulling and stretching motions that stimulate the meridian system of the body and facilitate the free flow of energy throughout the body. These ancient traditions believe that the blockage of qi (energy) can result in disease formation thereby weakening the immune system, causing pain and dis-ease.

People young or old, sick of healthy can perform these exercises easily because they are simple and they can be individualized to each person's particular health condition.
