Rooted in the traditions of Chinese internal arts, Qin Quan offers a path to vitality, balance, and inner strength that complements the mindfulness and presence cultivated through Zen practice. Like Qi Gong and Tai Chi, Qin Quan harmonizes body and breath, but its dynamic and flowing movements uniquely reflect the dragon’s grace and power, inspiring us to explore our own innate potential.
Developed by Grandmaster Qin, this system focuses on aligning the body’s natural force and opening pathways of Qi to foster resilience and balance in daily life. Through this five-week series, we will integrate the wisdom of Qin Quan with Zen’s contemplative approach, engaging in two transformative routines:
- Miraculous Dragon Fully Revealing, cultivating flexibility, alignment, and energy flow.
- Dragon Tiger Powerful Walking, a grounding practice to strengthen and center the body.
By embracing softness and strength, these practices help us align with the dragon’s qualities—vigor, power, and grace—while embodying the mindfulness and awareness central to Zen.
Join noted instructor Liping Zhu for this unique opportunity to weave the teachings of Qin Quan into your Zen practice. Whether you are experienced in internal arts or new to this path, this workshop offers a profound way to connect with your body, mind, and spirit through movement and presence.
