Two Days - July 16 & 17, with Si Gung Chin
In China, the Hua Shan Pai style of Chi Gung is recognized as one of the best for promoting life rejuvenation and longevity. The Chi Gung of Hua Shan (the name of the mountain where a temple was built and it's original practitioner resided) was taught only to selected Taoist disciples and kept closely guarded. This art has survived the centuries but with few current practitioners.
Si Gung Chin is one of those very rare practitioners with a direct lineage to this ancient treasure.
