When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.

How can we become still? By moving with the stream.
And how can we become strong?
By entering the flow.
 ~  Tao Te Ching ~

Yoga of Energy Flow is a unique, transformative practice that integrates strength and flexibility, energy cultivation, and open awareness.

Drawing from the powerful breathwork of Kundalini Yoga, the quiet strength of slow-flow yoga, the moving meditation of Qigong, and the wisdom of the Chinese meridian system, we’ll explore simple yet powerful practices to increase and balance the flow of pranic energy through body, mind, and spirit.

Through pranayama, vinyasa, asana, and chanting meditation, tension melts away, and mind-body blocks begin to dissolve. As we open and awaken, the heart begins to sing—we “flow,” and the life force of Prana flows through us, connecting us with heaven and earth, sun and moon, and the rhythms of nature.

When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.

Join this unique workshop blending the strength and flexibility of yoga with the flowing grace of Qigong. Through breathwork, movement, and meditation, you'll cultivate a unified practice rooted in awareness and vitality.

Two great traditions, one transformative practice. 
Yoga and Qigong are sacred paths up the same mountain, leading to the radiant summit of higher consciousness. Practiced together, they create a powerful alchemy, balancing yin and yang, heaven and earth, sun and moon, strength and surrender.

Wu Wei, Effortless Action
You'll also explore the Taoist principle of wu wei, "effortless action," infusing every movement with fluidity and ease, on the mat and in daily life, while cultivating deep energetic awareness.

You will learn:
• Breathing techniques to enhance and direct life force (prana/qi)
• Golden Lotus, Swimming Dragon, and other Qigong forms to open the meridians
• Meditative Vinyasa sequences grounded in mindful awareness
• Meridian tapping to awaken the 14 channels, six energy gates, and three energy centers
• Concentration practices to support mental clarity and inner stillness

Enjoy graceful, gentle movements in both forms, and embrace the powerful effects of qigong and yoga as you detoxify your body and build strength, flexibility, and peace of mind.

When the body flows like running water, it is always renewed, always fresh. This is true freedom.

Cultivate Strength, Flexibility, and Peace of Mind—Through the Integration of Yoga and Qigong

Yoga and Qigong are two powerful traditions that climb the same mountain of self-awareness, ultimately offering the practitioner a glimpse of the same luminous “one moon” of higher consciousness. In this 2-day, 15-hour immersion, explore how to integrate the dynamic strength and flexibility of yoga with the meditative fluidity of qigong. Drawing on the Taoist principle of wu wei (“effortless action”), you’ll learn how to balance yin and yang, heaven and earth, sun and moon, and masculine and feminine energies. Open to all levels, this immersion offers students tools to enhance physical vitality, balance energy, and cultivate inner stillness. For yoga teachers, Daniel will share practical resources to help you weave these complementary practices into your classes and expand your teaching repertoire.

What You’ll Learn:
• Pranayama and qigong breathing techniques to enhance life energy
• Golden Lotus, Swimming Dragon, and other qigong practices to open and balance the meridians
• How to bring meditative fluidity into yoga flow sequences
• Meridian tapping to activate the 14 meridians, six energy gates, and three dan tians (energy centers)
• Techniques for grounding, centering, and improving mental clarity
• Principles for creating balanced, energetically intelligent sequences that combine yoga and qigong

This training is designed for students of all levels, yoga teachers, and healing arts practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of energy-based movement. Handouts and resources will be provided, and participants will receive a certificate of completion for 15 training hours, which may be applied toward continuing education through Yoga Alliance.

After the journey through the solstice and the holidays, this is the perfect moment to pause, breathe deeply, and realign with what truly matters. We stand on the threshold of a new year. Day by day, the light is returning, growing and brightening, reminding us of renewal and possibility.

In this two-hour New Year’s Day workshop, we’ll release the shadows of 2026 and open to the light and promise of 2027 through Yoga of Energy Flow, a transformative practice that integrates strength and flexibility, energy cultivation, and open awareness.

As tension melts away and old blocks dissolve, the heart begins to sing. We flow, and the life force of prana flows through us, connecting us with heaven and earth, sun and moon, and the rhythms of nature.

Hours spent on computers, phones, and other screens can leave our eyes tired and strained. In this live online Teachers Studio, holistic optometrist Dr. Marc Grossman and yoga and qigong teacher Daniel Orlansky bring together Eastern and Western approaches to eye care.

Drawing on yoga, qigong, breathwork, Chinese medicine, and the Bates Method, you learn simple, time-tested practices to refresh tired eyes, encourage relaxation, and support lifelong visual health. Learn to use your eyes naturally, let relaxation soothe both mind and eyesight, and restore a healthy balance of inner and outer clarity. Together, we explore integrative approaches that complement medical care for myopia, presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eyes, and more.

Through guided practice, discover breathing techniques to support oxygen and circulation; gentle yoga stretches to release tension in the neck and shoulders; and Chinese eye massage using acupressure points around the eyes and face. You also practice exercises for convergence and accommodation, helping your eyes work together and shift focus more naturally from near to far.
