This is just a reminder that there are 3 workshops happening this weekend in Pine Grove, CA. We know this is typically a busy weekend for people, but if you have some free time to spend on yourself before Sunday we think you will enjoy these workshops. It might be fun for you to finish the month of March with a life changing experience.
Lower and Upper Back Health Qigong
Workshop:
Many people are all too familiar
with back problems, either because they know someone who has experienced them,
or they have personal experience. In this workshop Shifu Plitt will be
teaching ancient Chinese Qigong exercises that help promote a strong, healthy,
flexible back.
This will be a shorter workshop
because we do not want to fatigue anyone's back. Because this is a
shorter workshop there will not be a booklet handout at the beginning.
All attendees are encouraged to bring notebooks and cameras to help remember
each exercise after the workshop is over.

· Location: KSW Karate
20200 Hwy. 88, Pine Grove, CA

8 Pieces of Brocade Qigong:
The 8 Pieces of Brocade Qigong set
(Ba Duan Jin) is one of the oldest known forms of Qigong practiced in China
today. It is believed to have been developed by General Yue Fei as a
means of keeping his soldiers healthy and battle ready. General Yur Fei
is believed to have studied Chinese medicine and the "Five Animal
Exercises Qigong" set and therefore based the "8 Pieces of
Brocade" on this knowledge. Because of it's many health benefits it
has become one of the most famous Qigong sets around the world and is practiced
by millions of people.
Please be sure to bring a thermos
with hot water and really warm clothes for afterwards (maybe even a blanket).
After practicing this Qigong set it's important to rest and drink plenty of
warm water. There will be an hour or so after the workshop where the
participants are welcome to rest for a while before leaving. Qigong has
different effects on different people. Some people feel very invigorated
afterwards and others want to take a nap. This set especially can make you
really tired when you are first learning it because the different exercises
tend to knock loose toxins that are stored in the kidneys and other body
tissues. I would rather have you all rest at the dojo for a bit than to try to
drive home when you're really tired. I hope you're all ready for a really
relaxing and refreshing experience!

Be Your Own Boss Workshop:
This workshop is very different from
any other workshop we have put on so far. Rather than focusing on
exercises to promote health we will be encouraging people to employ themselves
rather than waiting for a call from the unemployment office. This
workshop comes from a desire to empower those in our community to become the
leaders in this economy rather than the victims. We will also be
discussing wiser ways to spend money and time.
This workshop will be split into two
parts.
- The first will offer tips for people who have thought about starting their own business, but don't know where to start, better ways to manage time and better ways to manage, and think about, money.
- The second part will be specifically about what Shifu Plitt does, how he got started and how his business works.

entrepreneurial adventure.
