Movements and internal practices from Medical Qigong to deepen your practice, improve energy flow, and amplify your body's natural healing response.
Recorded 5.19.26.
Join Qigong Master Homer Nottingham for a HealthSpan Workshop exploring Dragon & Tiger Medical Qigong — a practice designed to improve circulation, reduce tension, stimulate energy pathways, and support the body’s natural healing response. Used within Medical Qigong traditions and taught as a deeper level of internal practice, Dragon & Tiger combines flowing movement, breath, acupressure, visualization, and meditation into a complete whole-body experience.
This workshop goes beyond simply learning movements. Homer introduces the deeper principles that help transform practice into measurable results. Rather than focusing only on form, participants learn the three essential skills that support long-term progress: entering a relaxed Qigong state of mind, sensing energy flow, and using meditation to integrate and strengthen the practice.
Throughout the session, Homer explores how movement, fascia, breathing, circulation, and the nervous system work together, while guiding participants through the Dragon & Tiger sequence and the internal concepts that bring the practice to life.
