Swimming in Air Fall Workshop

5-day Tai Chi Workshop with an authentic Daoist Lineage Holder, Master Bruce Kumar Frantzis

Releasing Stagnant Qi and Improving Circulation

Learn how to deeply feel your whole body, get felt benefits, and find out why Tai Chi has been desired by the best for centuries. 

A major physical problem almost all people have is the accumulation of stagnant qi in the body. This can negatively affect mobility, health, and longevity. Tai Chi, and especially the Neigong components that will be taught during this course, move the qi and blood throughout the body - improving circulation and releasing stuck or blocked areas. Get the full details on our website here!

Made popular through the writings of Cheng Man Ching (One of Master Frantzis' teachers), “Swimming in Air” or “Swimming on Land” is a fundamental component of Tai Chi Chuan that is seldom mentioned and rarely taught in a comprehensive manner. Achieving this feeling in movement, however, requires deeper Neigong foundations that arrive at the culmination of your practice. In this first of possibly more seminars, Master Bruce Frantzis and Senior Instructor Craig Barnes will go through the major systems of the body, show how they are accessed in Daoist Neigong, and teach how to integrate them into internal martial arts forms for increased health and performance. The course will go step by step, deeper and deeper into the body: working with muscle, fascia, ligaments, tendons, and eventually the blood. The culmination of this process will be to use these bodily systems to wake up, integrate with, and strengthen the etheric body. This will train a type of movement that becomes Swimming in Air. It also can lead to improved fighting ability and seemingly mysterious Push Hands abilities that rely more on connection, relaxation, and the mind than on brute external muscular force. Swimming in Air is also an important, key step to opening up the system to the possibility of directly using the body as a support for meditation.
