Weekend Workshops...

Five Animal Frolics (Wuqinxi Qigong) with Dr. Jay Dunbar

Five Animal Frolics (Wuqinxi Qigong) with Dr. Jay Dunbar

This set was devised nearly 2,000 years ago by Hua T'o, the father of Chinese medicine. These Qi Gong exercises mimic the movements of the crane, bear, monkey, deer and tiger to strengthen the internal organs and harmonize the 5 elemental energies (fire, water, earth, wood, metal). Dr. Jay is a force of nature himself and an incredibly dynamic teacher and adds a depth of understanding to this ancient set that is unsurpassable. Dr. Jay came to Rochester in 2008 and taught part of this set to us and now is coming back to teach the other parts. No previous experience needed for this workshop!
For more info on Dr. Jay and his school in Chapel Hill, NC: Magic Tortoise Taijiquan School

“The Five Animal Frolics is not only the oldest choreographed exercise system in the world but also the only legacy of China’s greatest physician, Hua T’o.” — Ken Cohen, East West Journal, Feb. 1982

At this workshop we will:

Enhance the flow of qi (life energy)

Harmonize the five phases of change (fire, water, earth, wood, and metal)

Strengthen the internal organs, nerves, muscles, and bones

Improve the health and vitality of body, mind, and spirit

Prolong life

“The spirit of the crane is light, cool, and tranquil. Because the spirit is cool and even, it disperses anxiety and stress. Through tranquility we come to accept the constant gifts of grace and peace, and enter joyfully into life.” –Dr. Jay Dunbar

“The spirit of the bear is mighty, indomitable, energetic. It is brave, without rival. The bear’s tireless power comes from the relaxed and easy use of its strength, from a balance of rest and activity, and from curving, twisting motion.” – Dr. Jay Dunbar

“The spirit of the monkey is adaptable and playful. Absorbing and distributing, it can seem capricious and mischievous. Yet it’s concern is fairness, so it seeks balance. Holding on and letting go, it must discriminate. Self-centered, it centers itself and then reaches out to others.” – Dr. Jay Dunbar

“The spirit of the deer is elegant and erect. It is wide-eyed and alert, sensitive and vigilant: on guard against both external threats and internal turmoil. Vigorous when necessary, it can be quick to act, yet like a living tree, its inner nature is calm, gentle, adaptable, steady and patient. It prefers to live and let live, valuing harmony.” – Dr. Jay Dunbar

“The spirit of the tiger is bright and clear. Its skin reveals the strength of its inner energy. Certain and sharply defined, it easily takes what it desires and rejects what it does not need. Supremely confident, it knows itself.” – Dr. Jay Dunbar
