PrintQi Gong for Healing Introduces Swimming Dragon
Patricia Pagano, a practitioner of Classical Chinese Medicine at Qi Gong for Healing, in Warren, will teach classes in the Swimming Dragon form, refined and popularized by Dr. Tzu Kuo Shih. Classes are held from 12 to 1 p.m., Mondays and Fridays, and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesdays. The one-hour session will cover the basic form in four weeks and costs $50, with new courses starting January 2, 4 or 6.
Classical Chinese medicine (CCM) refers to branches of healing that pre-date traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Known collectively as “clinical qi gong,” the time-honored methods of CCM use both still and moving meditations to improve individual health and have provided benefits for millions of people, according to Pagano. “Swimming Dragon, for example, is known for promoting weight loss with or without dieting, while benefiting the skin, spine and internal organs,” she advises.
“Although these practices are available through books and DVDs, learning with a teacher provides a three-dimensional model plus feedback and corrections that make the student’s movements more comfortable and productive,” Pagano notes.
Location: 67 Mountain Blvd., Warren. For more information, call Patty at 908-392-1313 or Fran and Brian at 908-647-1563, or visit QiGongforHealing.com.
