Seasonal Medical Chi Kong

  • Classes are ongoing weekly

  • Classes can be joined anytime

  • Guided by Avraham Hirsch

Chinese medicine recognizes five seasons throughout the year, rather than the traditional four – autumn, winter, spring, summer and late summer. Each season is closely linked to specific areas of the human anatomy. In Chi Kong there are exercises that are more uniquely suited to each of the seasons, which focus on preventing specific seasonal illnesses and maintaining general health.

These series of exercises are specifically designed to strengthen the immune system, rejuvenate and prevent seasonal illnesses. Each season has its own series of exercises. The seasons comprise of Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer and Late Summer. During each of the seasons, emphasis is placed more on improving flow of energy and functionality in one area, but without neglecting the other areas as well.

For example:

Autumn

- Lungs and Large Intestine

Winter

- Kidneys and Bladder

Spring

- Liver and Gall Bladder

Summer

- Heart, Pericardium and Small Intestine

Late Summer

- Spleen and Stomach

 

Please see the class schedule for more details.

Ba Duan Jin - Eight Pieces of Brocade series

 

Said to have been brought to China from India in the 5th century A.D., The 8 Pieces of Brocade Chi Kong exercises were the basis for Chinese Medical Chi Kong over a thousand years and was integral to the development of the Yi Jin Jing, or "Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic." That also means that it was essential in the creation of arts like Tai Chi Chuan.

 

This practice is essential to ensure health and longevity. Made up of a series of stretching routines with accompanied breathing, the 8 Pieces of Brocade is one of the oldest and most widely practiced exercises in the world. The exercises can be done either sitting or in a standing position.

 

Please note that this form is generally taught around the late summer season, during September time.
