Dragon's Way Instructor Training

Becoming a Dragon's Way® instructor takes passion and the willingness to develop ones own energy foundation followed by in-depth study of the 5 Element Theory. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),the ancient master's discovered that the human body is a microcosm of the Universe. When they applied the laws of nature to the body, they discovered the communicative process of cooperation and relationship in and among the organ systems. This form of internal cooperation leads to a state balance and harmony which yields health and well-being. The body knows what it needs to be well but we have lost the ability access this information. Our over stressed bodies need to return to a state of balance in order for this information to pass through us on a recognizable level. Excess weight is a by product of the body being off balance. Through the Dragon's Way training, you will learn how to rebalance the body through Wu Ming Qigong Practice, eat foods that your body requires, let go of stress, all in and effort to rebuild your energy foundation.
