Qigong stimulates the flow and balance of energy in your body, increasing your sense of well being and decreasing your level of stress, tension, and fatigue.  In China, Walking Qigong is used extensively as a complementary treatment for cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, respiratory problems, immune dysfunction and other illnesses.

New students are encouraged to arrive at the gazebo at Green Spring Gardens Park in Annandale, VA fifteen minutes before class for a short period of instruction with Paul Rischard, one of the few teachers in America trained and granted authority to teach this form.  Class lasts a little less than an hour.  There is never a charge.  If it is raining enough that you need to use your windshield wipers on more than “intermittent,”  the class is canceled.

Dawn Weisbord

March 16th, 2010 by Dawn Weisbord

Dawn’s classes are relaxing and energizing. Finding the practice of qigong to be transformational and evolutionary in her life, she loves to share her joy of practice through teaching. She finds that through the practice of qigong we can be in peaceable community with others and in communion with the One(ness).

Dawn began practicing and studying yoga in her early twenties. This practice peaked her interest in transformation through mindful breath and movement.  She began formal study of acupuncture and qigong 1997 at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute’s (now the TAI SOPHIA Institute).  There, Chan Zhang was Dawn’s first qigong teacher.  She studies extensively with Master Li Jun Feng.  Master Li has certified Dawn to teach Sheng Zhen Qigong and she has been teaching since 2001. She has studied with various other wonderful teachers including Kimberly Rigsbee, Ken Cohen, Francesco Garripoli, Master Wu Zhongxian, and Li Jing.   She is Lifetime Member of the National Qigong Association. Dawn teaches acupuncture and qigong at the WON Institute of Graduate Studies in Glenside, PA. She maintains practice in Narberth, PA where she lives with her husband and two children. She is inspired by and enjoys playing with the movement of qi while snowboarding, gardening, and cooking.
