Bagua Classes

what is bagua?

Bagua Circle Walking, also known as Bagua Zhang, is a unique form of energy medicine that is closely related to traditional Chinese medicine and Qigong. The practice involves walking in a circle while performing a series of movements that are designed to cultivate and balance the body’s energy, or Qi. 

Similar to Tai Chi, Bagua produces many of the same benefits for health, healing, and longevity, including improving cardiovascular health, enhancing flexibility and balance, and reducing stress and anxiety. Bagua will also activate all the energy pathways and points.

The basic Bagua forms tend to be easier to learn relative to Tai Chi because there is far less choreography to memorize, yielding a faster way to energy experiences.
