QIGONG: Medicine for Our Times
Portland, Oregon In-Person Qigong Classes with Online Options
Qigong/Chi Kung serves as self-empowering preventive medicine. These gentle moving forms help to create a stronger flow of energy and move stagnation in the body. One of the world’s oldest and most complete systems of healing, Qigong cultivates our vital life force. As the basis for all the martial arts, it is quite possibly the most powerful form of ‘exercise’ on Earth.
As we develop awareness of unconsciously held tension and learn to release it, we have more energy available to us. As we move in relaxation – or flow – life is more effortless, and we become more effective in the world.
Practicing slowly, over and over, the body unlearns inefficient tension of years and discovers a more natural, easy strength ~ thereby conserving and building energy for health and longevity. At its essence, Qigong is also mind training, much needed with our ever-present distractions. We become calmer and have more clarity.
Complimentary to Western Medicine, we can lower our reliance on general healthcare, pharmacology, and surgery with this important option for a self care practice.
I invite you to embark on this healing journey.
MISSION STATEMENT: To empower you with skills and inspiration to take a more active role in your personal health and well-being.
Meet Rose Allen
My life changed direction in 2005, when I was first introduced to the healing practice of Qigong. Enamored with this ancient art of self-cultivation, I was inspired to become a Certified Instructor. Various classes in meditation, internal alchemy, gong fu, and yoga served to expand, support, and round out my energy practice. My curiosity and fascination with this healing art has created an exploration down an endless path of discovery as I continue the ever-deepening of my own practice.

Student Praise
Thank you for sharing your teaching journey! You are giving me a much broader and deeper window into the practice than the other online teachers who inspired me toward Qigong in the first place. ~ Jennifer Delich
Like a favorite Haiku that deepens each time you visit. The beauty of life unfolding, to make it possible to have contact with a true teacher. Grateful for Rose’s awareness and dedication to Qigong and the brilliance of sharing these online times has been life enriching in all ways. Rose gently and powerfully leads, speaks, teaches and embodies the practice while honoring the lineage. My time with Rose as my Qigong teacher has been grounding and spiritually uplifting. Grateful ~ Janet Marie
My deep gratitude for your teaching is so huge, thank you just doesn’t seem like a big enough phrase. The healing you are providing in my life through these classes is life changing and you are a truly gifted teacher. My practice is growing by leaps and bounds. Because you have already put in the time to deeply developed your own dedicated practice for so many years, here in this moment you stand ready to bring to us on a silver platter something that is just the healing we need now. Being able to access your classes on line is just such a huge, huge, gift. ~ Virginia Maxam
Rose is an inspirational and grounded teacher. Attending her classes at 58 years of age opened a door that has had a hugely positive impact on my life. Now turning 60, Qi Gong is my go-to daily practice that has improved my mental and physical health in many ways. I’d give Rose a 6-star review if it were possible! ~ Rob Story
I learned a lot about my body, my mind and their connection. I stretched and created openings in my body that had been locked for many years. The physical experience was freeing. And of course the whole experience of sharing the practice with people around our country and even the world during this time. The classes allow us to have structure, connection and a shared sense of purpose during these bleak times. This class has been a bright spot in my life and has helped me carry on. You have been generous with your time and knowledge. ~ Anonymous
