I was introduced to qigong in 1986 by Jay Dunbar and continued studies with him in 1996. I
also studied Integral Yoga becoming teacher certified in 1997, and Body-Mind
Centering becoming practitioner certified in 1990 and teacher certified in 2002. In 1998, I returned to qigong with continuous study and practice since. I took
workshops with Bruce (Kumar) Frantzis in CA for several years and studied with
Paul Pitchford and Suzanne Shaw (CA) while adding to my understanding through
private work with Martin Roth and Bob Tajima in CA. I learned the Cheng Man Ching tai chi form from Elaine Waters and Wolfe Lowenthal (in CA and MA
respectively). Then in MA, I studied tai chi and qigong with Sifu Lijun, Eric
Peters and Dan Kleiman. In 2006, I certified as teacher of Qigong Healing Level
1.
My teaching career began in 1990 in Massage Schools with
over 10 years experience in this arena then teaching in programs of Body-Mind
Centering since 2004. I've been teaching qigong since
2000 in CA, MA, Ottawa, and IL. Now in Durham, where I have taught workshops
annually, I offer 'mini-series" and weekend
workshops.
In 2007, Mary Bigos and I co-founded the Kinesthetic Learning Center, an organization devoted to the process of embodiment and sponsor of Body-Mind Centering programs and courses.
