The Eight Animals—Introduction to Bagua, The Art of Change
Six weeks, Starts May 1
Take your first steps in the great art of Bagua Zhang, the Art of Change. Bagua’s movements are based, primarily, on a circle—not just walking in a circular pattern, but understanding and applying the natural rotation in the body for great benefits to health and self-defense. Ted Mancuso, director of the Academy and class instructor, is world-renowned for his books and DVDs on Bagua Zhang.
All Chinese wisdom traditions, including medicine, divination, astrology, and feng shui, are systems of pattern identification that guide us in adapting gracefully to change. A world in flux is assumed; it is the one constant feature of life. Astrology is best viewed as a tool to discern where we are in the shifting cycles of time so we can adjust our expectations accordingly and therefore, from the Chinese point of view, cultivate longevity by not wasting our qi trying to swim against the current.
