This Class uses a somatic approach that incorporates neigong principles into the dancing body. Neigong means "internal skills" and encompasses gigong and other cnditioning exercises from the Chinese Internal Marital Arts systems such as Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Zingyiaquan. Neigong practice strengthens and nourishes the various systems of the body. Using breath work based on qigong and yoga, this class aims to integrate the thinking body and the intuitive body as it moves through space in an exploration of impulse, reaction, breath and spirit.
