Dragon Style

About This Class

Led by Terry Kvasnik, this Dragon Style Qigong session opens with a thorough warm-up of the body's major joints — neck, shoulders, waist, knees, and ankles — followed by meridian tapping along the neck, chest, hips, and legs to release stagnant energy. The class then moves into two signature movement sequences: Dragon Teacups, a multi-directional arm and balance exercise that traces compass points while incorporating squats and lateral leans; and the Swimming Dragon, a flowing, full-body undulation that synchronises arm stretches with hip pushes and spinal rotation, building both spinal flexibility and leg strength. Throughout, Terry grounds students in foundational Qigong principles — the Grand Ultimate Stance, awareness of the three Dantian energy centres, and a calm, relaxed body-mind — and closes the practice with a grounding visualisation and hands-to-Dantian breath work to seal accumulated energy. The instructor consistently encourages students to move within their own comfortable range and to listen carefully to their bodies, making the class accessible despite its vigorous framing.
