Qi- Gong Intensive

 

Qi means “life energy”, gong means "work" or “activity”. It is an ancient Chinese system that includes movement, breathing, and state of mind used for the purposes of health, spirituality, and martial arts training. Profound benefits of Qigong, such as its influence on our nervous system, digestion, respiratory system, and blood circulation have already been proven scientifically long ago.

 

Zuzanna Jikō Grzywacz began training taijiquan and qigong in 2005 under the guidance of great masters such as Yang Jwing Ming, Howard Choy, Master Sam Chin, and Piotr Ziemba (former head of TaijiQuan and QiGong Federation for Europe and member of Chen Xiao Wang World Taijiquan Association). She served as a teaching assistant of P. Ziemba for 6 years.

In 2010 she went to Japan to study Zen under Master Shodo Harada where she did residential training until 2020. The monastic life experience has become a foundation for all her body and mind work.
