Movement Arts

Kung Fu & Chi Kung

The style of Kung fu I teach is 5 animal 5 element. Kung fu is taught together with Chi Kung, which is the soul of Kung fu. Kung fu and Chi Kung, in the way I teach it and in the way I was taught, is a spiritual path to enlightenment/higher consciousness.

Chi Kung (or as some call it, Qi Gong), is an Art of Energy Movement and Cultivation. Movement and breath are vital aspects focused on in this Art, as well as the philosophies and health principles which are a part of this training.

In these arts, self-reflection and study is key, as in any true spiritual path.

Yoga

The styles of Yoga I work with mostly are Hatha and Kundalini. It was Hatha yoga (in a classical traditional style) that I first learned as a movement Art.

I was taught that Hatha Yoga is also a path to enlightenment/higher consciousness. This is how it was taught to me: traditional Yoga does not 'separate any lines'... all 'lines' to higher consciousness were taught together. That which a seeker seeks when embarking on this path as a spiritual path has no divisions - it is 'mind' which divides things. There are no dividing lines on a 'true spiritual path'... it simply is a whole complete system and therefore taught that way. In this way, Hatha Yoga is not just about asana… if it were, it would be no more than a great workout!

Something some people do not know is that Kung fu has roots in Yoga - it is a style and path that evolved from Yoga. There are movements and philosophies in certain styles of Kung fu which are similar to some things in certain traditions of Yoga, and many things which look nothing like Yoga at all. Another thing some people do not know is that in some traditions of Yoga, what was taught included martial arts, weaponry and wrestling - in some traditional places, this was part of the Yoga training!
