Peaceable Dragon

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.

In March 2002, Pamela took her first qigong workshop, in Annapolis, Maryland. At the time, she had a vague idea of what qigong was, and she had no idea how to pronounce it correctly. The workshop was led by Master Li Junfeng, the founder of Sheng Zhen qigong. At the end of that weekend, Pamela says, the main thing she remembers is thinking, “Having a practice like this is a nice way to live.”

Pamela began studying with Master Li as often as she could. She took a couple of weekend workshops each year, and she began taking yearly 10-day teacher training workshops with him in 2003. She’s also studied Sheng Zhen qigong forms for the liver, kidney and heart during three separate 5-day workshops in Santa Fe.

In Baltimore, where she lives, Pamela has been organizing Master Li’s weekend qigong workshops since 2006.

Along the way, she has taken qigong and t’ai chi from other wonderful and talented masters, but Sheng Zhen is the system that has her heart.

Pamela began teaching Sheng Zhen qigong classes in 2004. She teaches primarily in Baltimore and has one weekly class in Annapolis. She’s always interested in expanding her teaching practice.

Pamela is also a freelance health writer. Her focus is on health writing and medical marketing.
