We are so excited to be able to practice together this wonderful healing and gentle movement therapy. Qigong, energy cultivation, is a simple practice. Embryology is an act of re-membering, of listening to the echo of our formation and growth. Principles underlying our embryological development can enrich our qigong practice and embodiment. We will begin and end each class with opening and closing sequences.
The main topic of each class will focus on one or two forms to provide containment and embodiment of embryological principles. These principles apply to any form with some more in expression and others more in the shadow. Either way, experience is borne, and body-mind / mind-body aspects of practice can come forth.
No embryology or qigong experience is needed. The principles and movements of embryology can serve as a basis for future study. These principles are universal and underlie many practices of energy and cultivation.
These classes are appropriate for:
- The novice with no experience of qigong or embryology
- The experienced practitioner who wants to deepen and expand their practice
- Those interested in applying embryological principles with practical experience
These highly experiential classes will benefit beginners and experienced folks alike. We incorporate embryological moments and transitions based on the embodiment principles of Body-Mind Centering®. Participants will learn theory and receive guidance for simple and safe movement forms.
To participate, you will need:
- A well-lit area so that you appear clearly on the screen
- A quiet area large enough where you can stand and freely swing your arms
- Simple comfortable clothing allowing unrestricted movement
- A chair or stool for sitting with your thighs parallel to the floor

No! You have lifetime access to all three courses so you can work on the material at your own pace, and revisit anything you like.
Why are you offering these courses as a bundle?
We have organized Bob Lehnberg's Embryology Qigong courses into bundles of complementary material. By offering courses together we can reduce the cost for students while retaining the quality of the full courses. We have kept the Basic Principles as a standalone course.
