Aerie Waters

5-Element Qigong Instructor

Discover awesome Qigong movements that open each of the meridians & 5 elements with Aerie Waters, Qigong Instructor. Aerie studied Qigong with Master Frank Chan, with both Malik and Joyanna Cotter, and with Kurt Miyajima. She also studied Tai Chi with Master William Chang and Ron Perfetti.

“I have been studying and practicing Qigong for 38 years. At age 73, my vital health is the most apparent benefit of the ways in which moving energy through the American systems on a regular basis has gifted me. In addition to health and vitality, I value the cultivation of a relationship with the Sea of Energy and the Chi, which surrounds us, and responds to our breath to direct our focus and attention. To me, this translates into a relationship with the interconnected web of all life, manifesting in all forms. This practice of Qigong never grows old, rather, it continues to deepen and enrich my life. May it enrich yours, as well.”
