Blue Dragon

About This Class

Blue Dragon is a complete, approachable Qigong practice led by Terry Kvasnik that opens with body-wide percussive tapping — moving joint by joint from shoulders down through elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles — to awaken and free the body's energy pathways. The sequence then moves through a series of slow, water-like flowing movements designed to massage the internal organs, mobilize the spine with gentle curling and chest-opening, and rotate the waist in both directions. A central meditative thread weaves through the entire class: students are guided to bring awareness to the three Dantien energy centers (lower belly, heart, and third eye), holding each with six breaths and visualizing a bright ball of white light energy ascending the spine. The practice culminates in the signature "Dragon Dives into the Sea and Flies Up to the Moon" movement — a full-body sweep from a high reach and toe rise down through a forward fold and back up — and closes with a glass-dome sealing visualization to integrate the practice. Throughout, the instructor consistently encourages non-force, listening to the body, and finding ease over effort, making this ideal for stress relief, energetic grounding, and releasing whole-body stiffness.
