CTM Session 8 (In-Person): Nourish Heart and Spirit While Invigorating Circulation
with Tim Regan

*Important Note: This is the in-person class registration. If you are attending online, you must register for the online class in order to get the Zoom link.

Explore key pillars of Chinese medicine for health and well-being.  Simple, hands-on lessons integrate therapeutic exercise (Daoyin/Qigong), breathing (TuNa), qi circulation (Xingqi), self-massage (Anmo), and fingertip acupressure (Zhiya) to experience the deep structure of the body from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. 

Open your chest and shoulders, relieve arm pain, and help reduce inflammation, anxiety, palpitations, and insomnia. In Chinese medicine, Heart, Mind, and Spirit are aspects of a single system that radiates through the channels to express vibrant health through your face, skin, voice, eyes, and posture.

The CTM 1 certificate includes 50 hours of instruction across 33 weeks, with dozens of specific exercises and treatment strategies within the context of traditional Chinese medicine as well as a personalized approach to the most popular health maintenance routines. In each class, emphasis is placed on perceiving, understanding, and guiding qi for specific therapeutic benefit.
