Description
This course teaches you the Zhan Zhuang Qigong system which is a set of standing Qigong static postures.
This is an advanced level course which will give you a practice and information on the movements of energy in your body and the energetic pathways (meridians). The Spiritual concepts for these exercises is also explained.
Zhan Zhuang Qigong works on developing the sensation of "opposing forces," as well it gives the practitioner an understanding and an experience of one's central equilibrium.
This set of exercises will also help you to have a sensitivity to specific areas of tension in the body and gives you a practice and guide on how to relieve these tensions.
Zhan Zhuang has a strong connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine and this practice is a way of removing blockages in Qi flow in the body's meridian system.
Any habitual tensions or tissue shortening (or lengthening) is normalised by the practice, and the body regains it's natural ability to function optimally. It is thought that a normalised body will be less prone to muscular-skeletal medical conditions and dysfunctions and it is also believed that Zhan Zhuang, when practiced for developing relaxation, will lead to a beneficial calming effect of the heart and mind.
Zhan Zhuang offers a fast and effective means to recharge your energy, reduce stress, gain superior mental clarity, and give you the ability to stay focused.
During this course you will:
- Learn to feel a deep sense of relaxation (learning to relax means learning how to eliminate unnecessary tension)
- Enrich your imagination
- Increase your mental focus
- Grow a deeper awareness of your body
- Experience body sensations and reactions
- Develop body mind co-ordination
- Learn how to elevate unwanted tension and stress in the boby
- Learn how to get a quiet peaceful mind
- Learn how to find harmony in the stillness
- Learn how to direct and grow your energy and strength
- learn how to grow your perseverance, discipline and stamina.
Who this course is for:
- For people who have practiced Qigong before and lack energy, stamina, and vitality, and would like to learn a more exacting, demanding and energising Qigong system.

PETER CAUGHEY
“My mission as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Teacher is to help people uncover the essence of who they truly are, to live with abundant freedom and to have an experience that they are connected to something bigger than themselves.”
Peter Caughey
Founder and Senior Teacher at
Forest Rock Taiji & Qigong School
Hi I’m Peter Caughey, a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist & Master Qigong Practitioner.
I love helping people break free from their stories that I believe make them unhappy, discontent and unwell. I’ve helped people from all around the World to break free from these stories and I’ve discovered that most of us have similar patterns and beliefs that are limiting us from living our full potential as a human being. During my combined 25 years of teaching Taiji (Tai chi) and Qigong and treating people in my Acupuncture Clinic, I have learnt about how to create a higher quality of health for people and how to break their limiting belief stories.
I have dedicated my life to helping people to have a higher level of health and I encourage them to see the World in a different way. A way that inspires them to enquirer into the possibilities of how they can have a more fulfilling and happier life with a flow on effect that benefits and helps others.
I didn’t start out this way as my background prior to healing was 16 years with the New Zealand Amy and 7 of those in the (SAS), New Zealand Special Forces. I loved the mental and physical discipline in the SAS. I became a weapons and explosives instructor, and an advanced medic. I also learned Hand to Hand combat and ended up teaching many different ways to incapacitate an opponent. Now I do exactly the opposite. I was a two packets of camel cigarettes a day man and could down a bottle of scotch in a sitting. I’m not saying this to impress you, I just want to share where I started, as I didn’t come from a background with an awareness around health or any spiritual wisdom about life.
I became interested in Chinese Medicine at the age of 28 when I went to get my first acupuncture treatment for a long term neck injury from playing rugby. After the first treatment I felt incredible and I was amazed at how a few small needles could make me feel so good.
