I am not a Teacher, I am an Awaken-er. - Robert Frost
The Chi Chung that I practice nourishes the body, mind, and Spirit by becoming a living conduit and uniting the Heaven and Earth elements through the spinal cord system. It is my interest to offer in every class a system that when practiced for a few minutes every day, greatly deepens the awareness of breath, promotes the flow of oxygen movement through our bodies, creating a more energized and grounded person.
In my classes students use visualizations that bring awareness to the elements of earth, air, water, wood and fire. Tapping into natures elements stimulate one’s own energy flow, or “vital life force” to re-balance. As the energy generated flows through the body, students will deepen their awareness of their “vital life force”. Chi Chung is a moving meditation. Chi Chung deepens a person’s sense of inner peace and actively cultivates a healthy body.
Ayla began her training in the Martial Arts 14 years ago. She loved feeling her body grow physically and emotionally stronger, while deepening her understanding of “vital life force”, how to cultivate it and then use its’ trans-formative power with intention. She began with Tai Chi and incorporates it into her Chi Chung finding simple yet powerful restorative movements which make up the foundation of Chi Chung. Since having relocated to Richmond, VA. she has been teaching it in various locations around Richmond for the past 8 years. Along with her skills as a Chi Chung practitoner, Ayla is a lineage carrier and practitioner of Andean Shamanism, certified Body Worker and Massage therapist, a Reiki Master and has created and teaches an apprenticeship called “the Living Mesa”, which deepens one’s relationship to the natural world while re-discovering your place within it.
