What Is Chinese Yoga?
Where Qi Gong Meets the Mat
Chinese Yoga blends traditional practices from the Pa Kua knowledge — harmonizing body, mind, and spirit. It pairs Qi Gong, the 4,000-year-old art of "life energy cultivation," with yogic movement to build lean, flexible muscle, protect against injury, and melt stress.
Where standard yoga holds static poses, Chinese yoga keeps you moving — gentle sequences and breath work that oxygenate the blood and speed muscle recovery. It's the perfect balance to the school's external martial arts practice.
- ✓Breathing techniques that travel with you

About the Practice
Chinese Yoga Classes in Burbank
Chinese yoga is where Qi Gong meets the mat — a practice that blends mindful movement, breath work, and stretching to cultivate flexibility and inner calm. It draws on the same energy principles found throughout our Burbank programs.
The emphasis is on gentle, deliberate movement and breath rather than extreme poses, making it accessible to a wide range of bodies and ages.
Rather than chasing difficult shapes, the practice focuses on alignment, breath, and the flow of energy, so every session leaves you feeling looser and more centered.
It's a quietly powerful way to reconnect with your body and slow down in the middle of a hectic week.
Regular practice improves flexibility, mobility, and posture while easing tension held in the body. The breath-focused approach calms the nervous system, supporting better stress management and sleep.
It pairs beautifully with Tai Chi and our other classes, rounding out a balanced, sustainable wellness routine.
Because it's low-impact, Chinese yoga is gentle on the joints and well suited to anyone easing back into movement or recovering from a long, sedentary stretch.
Over time, students often report steadier energy, less stiffness, and a calmer, more focused mind.
Chinese yoga welcomes beginners and experienced students alike, and you don't need to be flexible to start — flexibility is something the practice builds over time.
It's an excellent choice for anyone seeking a lower-impact path to strength, calm, and mobility.
Desk workers, seniors, athletes looking to recover, and complete beginners all find something valuable here.
Come in comfortable clothing, move at your own pace, and let the practice meet you exactly where you are today.
