To Register Call: 914.967.6080, extension 1222 The Art of Breathing I - 10 am - 12pm, Saturday, July 24, 1999 The powerful life energy obtained through proper breathing will improve and maintain your health and well-being. These breathing techniques can aid in the management of stress, increase stamina and enhance speech, singing, athletics, meditation, and more. Specific exercises will be demonstrated and questions from the audience will be encouraged. Nancy will work with participants individually and provide personalize applications for each person's requirements. You will learn to understand the mechanisms of breath, learn how to reduce tongue, jaw, neck, back and vocal cord tension through breathing exercises and imagery. Nancy Zi, author of The Art of Breathing, is an internationally known classical singer and voice teacher. She was born in the United States, raised in China, and returned to study in America where she received a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance. Nancy Zi was a noted and much-sought-after voice teacher on the staff of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. After spending more than 30 years as a successful performer, Zi is now retired and devotes her time to teaching and promoting the benefits of "The Art of Breathing" and Chi Kung. $20.00 The Art of Breathing II - 2 p.m. - 5pm, Saturday, July 24, 1999 This class will re-emphasize the importance and application of abdominal deep breathing. A set of 8 Chi Kung exercises will be taught in sequence in coordination with abdominal deep breathing. In Chi Kung practice, chi represents the basic vital energy of mankind and the universe. It is vital to our well-being and for sustaining all human activities. These techniques will bolster and nurture "primal chi," which is the built-in vitality that each person is born with. Imagine that primal chi is like an inner battery; unless we learn to recharge its power through proper breathing, exercises, nutrition, and other healthy activities and self care, this chi will dwindle rapidly, and our physical, mental and emotional health will suffer. As this is a condensed and intensive Chi Kung program, "The Art of Breathing" is a suggested prerequisite. $35.00 Tickets for The Art of Breathing I and The Art of Breathing II can be purchased together for $70.00, including lunch.
