This course is divided into three sections: Crane/Bear, Monkey, and Deer/Tiger. Drop-ins and mid-course registrations are welcome.

The aim is to enhance the flow of qi (life energy), harmonize the five phases of change (fire, water, earth, wood, and metal), strengthen the internal organs, nerves, muscles, and bones, prevent and cure diseases, improve the health and vitality of body, mind, and spirit, and prolong life.
