In this class we continue to develop on the principals of our basic meditation skills. We expand on the foundational techniques of proper breathing and posturing by applying both Buddhist and Taoist principles. We will explore how these techniques relate to our health, fitness, and the Martial Arts.
This first step towards meditation is crucial for building a strong foundation for future Meditation, Chi Kung, Nei Kung, and Martial Arts practices!
