What is YiShuiKong?
The breathing practice once reserved for China’s imperial court.
Nurturing You: Nurturing Our Planet.
YiShuiKong is a unique mind-body practice that combines ancient Chinese imperial breathing techniques with movements from Yin Family Baguazhang, a traditional martial art once practiced in the royal court.
Think of it as a graceful blend of Tai Chi’s flowing movements and yoga’s mindful stretching, enhanced with martial arts precision and qigong energy work. Each movement is designed to be both fluid like water and powerfully grounded, creating a moving meditation that synchronizes your breath, body, and mind.
The goal is simple yet profound: restore balance between mind and body while awakening your natural inner strength and vitality.

I want time to
reconnect with myself.
Chased by information and busyness, day after day. Begin with the breath, and return to your own center.
I want to go deeper and
grow my own axis.
Through the Seven Stars, train body, breath, and heart, and cultivate your own self.
I want to learn this path
deeply and pass it on.
Learn YiShuiKong and BaGuaZhang, and hand their value on to the next person.
