Live Classes at the Firehouse Arts & Events Center
Bellingham, Washington
Join us Wednesday mornings in Fairhaven for ongoing instruction in Wild Goose (Dayan) Qigong — a traditional system of movement, breath, and internal cultivation that supports balance, vitality, and calm awareness.
Rooted in classical Chinese “nourishing life” practices, classes emphasize relaxed movement, posture, breathing, and whole-body coordination in a welcoming and grounded environment for modern practitioners.
In a culture of constant stimulation and stress, these practices offer a practical way to restore steadiness, attention, and connection with the body.
New Student Enrollment
Open for new students four times each year, on the first Wednesdays of January, April, July, and October.

Students come to class for many reasons — improving mobility and balance, supporting recovery from stress and burnout, deepening meditation practice, or reconnecting with a quieter and more grounded way of moving through daily life.
Class Progression
Each class consists of training warmups, followed by instruction and practice in one or more Wild Goose forms, and ends with a meditation. The long-term curriculum will be a varied sequence of short and long forms, with a particular focus on the foundational form called The First 64. Some of these forms are fairly short and can be learned at a basic level in only a few weeks. Other forms are long and complex and take several months to learn the movements. Mastery of some of these forms takes years of practice, as there are many subtle details to incorporate. Wild Goose Qigong is a lifelong practice for health and longevity that is both fun to practice and immensely rewarding.
New Students Welcomed Four Times a Year
New students are welcome to join on the first class of each quarter of the year: the first Wednesdays of January, April, July or October. Qigong experience is useful, but not required. New students learn the current form being taught, some meditation, and begin learning the First 64 form. Ongoing students deepen their form and meditation skills.
