Have you been seeking a practice that not only improves your physical strength and flexibility, but offers a profound balance of energy and mindfulness too?
Experience the flowing, fluid movements of Liu He Ba Fa, an ancient Chinese internal martial art and holistic practice — which until recently was primarily taught only in closely guarded circles — that fosters physical health and flexibility, mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal growth.
The living are soft and yielding; the dead are rigid and stiff.
— Lao Zi, Tao De Jing
Has the unpredictable nature of the world been throwing you off balance?
Just as water can surge through obstacles or flow around them, Taoist philosophy holds that you too can remain grounded through adversity as you flow with whatever life brings, says Master Helen Liang, world-renowned Tai Chi and Qigong martial artist and Vice President of SYL Wushu Taiji Qigong Institute.
You can cultivate the inner power and balance to respond to tough situations with grace and power with Liu He Ba Fa, a 1,000-year-old Chinese martial art form that’s translated as “Water Style” (六合八法).
Liu He Ba Fa is led by the heart-mind and blends the principles of Qigong, Tai Chi, Xing Yi, and bagua with physical training and spiritual cultivation.
With a regular Liu He Ba Fa practice, says Master Helen, you’ll feel physically stronger, more coordinated, and flexible. You’ll also develop greater self-awareness and a sense of inner harmony, which are essential components of spiritual cultivation.
Liu He Ba Fa’s emphasis on balancing yin and yang, as well as integrating softness with strength, reflects the Taoist principles of harmony with the natural world — and can guide you toward a more balanced and spiritually fulfilling life.
You’re invited to join Master Helen for a special hour-long event as she guides you through a sampling of Liu He Ba Fa movements and breathing practices — to improve your physical balance and stability as you root and ground your body and balance your left and right sides.
The practice will encourage the circulation of Qi through your body’s major meridians so you’ll feel both relaxed and energized.
During the event, Master Helen will also share how the principles of Liu He Ba Fa have played out in her own life during a life-threatening health crisis in her mid-twenties.
Join us to learn how and why Liu He Ba Fa is accessible to everyone. As Master Helen will explain, even small, consistent practice can lead to profound changes, and you won’t need to dedicate hours each day...
Just a little practice regularly will help you build strength, mental clarity, and the emotional balance you’ll need to meet whatever life brings with strength and grace.
