Qigong Mastery ~ Swimming Dragon

Recently I attended a group practice at Rochester's Valley Manor Apartment with Carmen Ramos where we did "Swimming Dragon Qigong" which is a uniquely fluid movement form.  Mr. Ramos teaches for residents of Valley Manor, the Jewish Home, St. Ann's Home and the Unitarian Church.  His background is in tai chi and qigong having taught at Greece CSD's Continuing Education Program.  

Qigong is an ancient Chinese health care system that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. The word Qigong (Chi Kung) is made up of two Chinese words. Qi is pronounced chee and is usually translated to mean the life force or vital-energy that flows through all things in the universe.
