Whether it is that you would like to learn relaxation techniques, increase your balance and concentration, or to promote a sense of harmony of well being, you will find that the high quality of education and professional care at the Peaceful Dragon School can support your personal goals.
The Peaceful Dragon School has year-round programs for adults and accompanied younger family members. Day and evening classes, practice sessions, private sessions and intensives, in addition to our collaborative relationship with the Ann Arbor Rec and Ed and the University of Michigan’s MHealthy, allows local students and visitors from out of town fit classes into their schedule.
The main objective at the Peaceful Dragon School is to create a safe, open minded, respectful, peaceful, and conscious attitude and atmosphere in which to study these complementary health promoting art-forms.
The director of the Peaceful Dragon School, Wasentha Young, is a Master and scholar in the art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Chi Kung, has received formal instruction in Taoist and Buddhist meditation, achieved certification in Acupressure, has a Wellness Counselor in Mind/Body Consciousness certificate, and holds a Masters degree in Transpersonal Studies from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.
With over 40 years of experience in her field, she has been requested to lecture and educate on the benefits of Tai Chi, Chi Kung Energy Work, and Meditation as it relates to the human emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. She develops stress reduction programs for corporations, health institutions, religious organizations, and has designed and participated in research projects that focus on applications of her Chi-Do™ - Harmony of Energy design.
Aligning beautifully with your primary care physician’s guidance, the Peaceful Dragon School can become a part of your health team and assist you in meeting the self-care practice goals you have outlined. A brief consultation about your goals with Master Wasentha Young can help you make the right choice between tai chi, energy work, muscle tension release self-acupressure, meditation techniques classes, mini workshops, or retreats.
The instructors at the Peaceful Dragon School are professionally trained and certified by Master Young. We teach using many learning methods; for example: visual, lecture, demonstration, hands-on, supervised practices, and most importantly we include humor. Class sizes are limited and range from 4 to 20 students. This allows for more individualized attention and inspired learning. We also provide instructional videos, books, and other learning materials, as well as a Facebook presence to enhance your learning experience at the Peaceful Dragon School.
