Free The Fascia

Free The Fascia

In this section, we explore dynamic exercises that are designed to ‘free your fascia” and release tension, build strength, and awaken energy pathways. With a focus on hydration, mindful breathing, and fascia release, every class invites you to connect deeply with your body and discover greater ease and mobility. Whether practicing these exercises on their own or as an introduction to a larger energy practice, you’re creating space for transformation and leaving each practice feeling stronger and more energized.

Introduction

Welcome to “Free Your Fascia,” where we’ll explore how to unlock the hidden power of your body’s largest organ—your fascia. By hydrating, stretching, and freeing this connective tissue, you’ll open up energy pathways, release tension, and restore vitality.

A Few Tips

Before we dive into the exercises, here are a few key tips to get the most out of your fascia training. These are things to be aware of that can have a huge impact on the benefits of your fascia training, including hydration, breathwork, check-ins, 3 Ps, gentle preparation, technique awareness and sequence awareness.

Punch, Chop & Grab

This is a dynamic fascia freeing technique designed to awaken the energy pathways in your arms, wrists, and upper body. Through slow, deliberate movements, we’ll stretch, strengthen, and hydrate the fascia while building grip integrity and power. Really dive in and feel the transformation in every movement.

Press Into Heaven

Also known as “Separating Heaven and Earth,” this is where you’ll learn to stretch and open the fascia from the heel of your hand to the heel of your foot, unlocking tight areas and improving your range of motion. Take your time, breathe deeply, and let your body guide you as we release tension and create space for energy to flow.

Embrace the World

In this session, you’ll learn a technique to open up your chest, lengthen your spine, and release tension through corkscrew movements that activate fascia from fingertip to fingertip. This practice not only enhances flexibility and posture but also encourages energy flow through your entire body. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more open, and deeply connected to your breath and movement.

Climbing the Sacred Mountain

In this session, you’ll learn how to free the fascia and revitalize your spine through gentle, accessible techniques that improve strength, flexibility, and energy flow. By activating dormant areas and recalibrating your nervous system, you’ll release tension, enhance mobility, and feel deeply alive. Whether easing back pain or building resilience, this practice meets you where you are.

Flying Tiger / Tiger Claw Press

Get ready for a fun and dynamic practice with “Flying Tiger and Tiger Claw Press.” This exercise combines strength, flexibility, and fascia freeing to energize your arms, shoulders, and spine while building grip strength. Tap into your inner tiger to really feel the power in every movement!

Crouching Tiger & Dragon Looks Behind

This session focuses on spinal mobility, fascia release, and energetic flow. Its broken into phases: perfecting the stance, incorporating dynamic arm positions, and integrating twisting and stretching movements. With clear biomechanics, we emphasized mindful progression, protecting joints, and finding strength through breath. By the end, the session harmonizes movement, breath, and posture, leaving everyone with a sense of greater flexibility, openness, and vibrant energy.

Turn to Face the Moon

This session focuses on a beautifully flowing fascia release exercise designed to open the spine, ribcage, and hips. We explore three levels of progression, incorporating breath, visualization, and gentle rotations to engage the fascia along the torso and limbs. Emphasis is placed on maintaining alignment, using “skin breathing” to draw energy into the body, and moving with effortless action (Wu Wei). By the end you’ll feel more spacious, grounded, and connected to your body’s natural rhythm.

Bow & Arrow

Today’s session introduces a powerful fascia stretch that combines strength, flexibility, and focus. We break down the technique, emphasizing alignment, breath, and dynamic tension to open the chest, arms, and legs while building stability in a horse stance. The movement incorporates warrior-like energy, guiding participants to engage deeply and visualize their target with precision. By the end, you’ll feel stronger, more open, and energized, with a clear sense of balance and focus.

Qigong Warrior Pose

In this session, we explore a dynamic posture designed to build strength, balance, and flexibility. We carefully break down the components—from the corkscrew stance to the coordinated arm movements—while emphasizing alignment, breath, and mindfulness. This practice is perfect for those recovering from tightness or old injuries, as it gently opens the shoulders, spine, and hips. The focus is on moving with intention, treating the practice as a meditative flow, and always prioritizing ease over strain.

Warrior’s Lunge & Fold

In this session, we dive into a powerful series for opening the hips, spine, and legs while activating the body’s fascia. We focus on creating long lines of energy from fingertips to heels, stretching the hip flexors, and lengthening the spine. The practice blends forward stances, dynamic reaching, and mindful folding, inviting participants to explore strength, mobility, and balance at their own pace. By the end, we’re centered and energized, with a fully awakened connection between breath, body, and mind.

Prepare The Temple

Prepare The Temple

Preparing the temple—your body, mind, and soul—is like tuning an instrument before a performance; it ensures everything is aligned and ready to play in harmony. By grounding yourself in presence and intention at the start of your practice, you create the foundation for energy to flow freely and deeply. These simple techniques amplify the benefits of Qigong, opening the door to clarity, vitality, and connection.

Introduction & The Wuji Position

In this session, we continue to honor the body as the home of life force energy. Through foundational practices like Wuji stance, we balance yin and yang, ground ourselves, and connect with the natural flow of energy. By checking posture, breathing deeply, and setting an intention, you’ll create a powerful starting point for transformation and greater awareness.

The Art Of The Bow

In this session, we’re exploring the art of the bow—a simple, humble gesture that invites you to leave the ego at the door and step into your practice with an open, beginner’s mind. Whether you’re in your living room, a garden, or on the beach, this ritual transforms any space into your dojo, your place of growth and transformation.

Preparation Principles

In this session, we’ll explore how to ground yourself, align your energy, and truly tune into your body’s needs. During this session, you’ll connect with the natural flow of life—balancing yin and yang, finding your center, and cultivating the kind of awareness that prepares the temple with the mindset to thrive – in body, mind, and spirit.

The Three Ps

In this session, we explore the ‘Three Ps’—priming, processing, and perception. You’ll discover how each phase works to recalibrate your body and energy, like installing fresh software into your system. Through simple yet profound movements, you’ll tune into the signals your body sends, helping you feel when it’s time to shift and move forward naturally.

The 4 Big Gongs

In this session, we’re diving into the “4 Big Gongs,” powerful techniques designed to open up your body, boost energy flow, and revitalize your immune system. Through movements like bouncing, tapping, swinging, and squeezing, we’ll work to release tension, stimulate circulation, and wake up the fascia. These will help you feel lighter, more aligned, and energized as you prepare the body for deeper transformation.

The Master Sequence

The Master Sequence

This session unpacks the Master Sequence of the Satori Qi Activation System, guiding you through its seven stages to unlock greater energy, healing, and transformation. You’ll discover how the four domains of Qigong—Mobility, Medical, Mystical, and Manifestation—seamlessly integrate into a flowing practice that aligns your body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re looking to free your fascia, circulate your Qi, deepen your meditation, or access higher states of awareness, this training gives you a clear, structured framework to elevate your practice and experience profound well-being.

The Master Sequence

The Fundamentals

The Fundamentals

Welcome to the Fundamentals! This series of training videos will give you everything you need to build a strong, joyful Qigong practice. The Fundamentals is all about establishing your foundation, guiding you through the essential postures, movements, breathwork and principles that make Qigong so effective and enjoyable. Each video builds on the last, helping you step-by-step understand and eventually master Qigong with clarity and confidence. This is where it all begins! 

Introduction

Our goal is to deliver the Gold Standard when it comes to Qigong education. This module aims to provide top-quality, comprehensive training in the fundamentals of Qigong. While the curriculum is extensive, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed—you’ll only need basic skills to start. We include extra content because:

  1. These fundamentals are the foundation for later training
  2. You’ll regularly revisit these concepts as you advance
  3. You have unlimited time to gradually master these skills

The Fundamentals is broken up into two sections – The Practice and The Principles.

The Practice covers the foundational postures, stances, footwork, balancing, stepping, transitions, attributes, breathwork, mindset and the energy ecosystem. Think of this as the external training and the biomechanics of practice.

The Principles cover additional energy art essentials and philosophical concepts that help you grasp the intricacies of this ancient art as well as practice correctly and safely. Think of this as the internal training and the energetics of practice.

Ok, let’s jump in with Sensei Tristan as he guides you step-by-step through the Fundamentals of Qigong bringing clarity and connection with each session!

Energy Ecosytem

This session is all about exploring the Energy Ecosystem, learning all about your energy channels, centers, gates and much much more. Take notes, soak it in, and remember, this training is here for you to revisit anytime as you deepen your Qigong journey.

Stances & Shimmies

In this session, we’re diving into important postural principles to help keep your spine long and aligned, plus protect your knees, hips and ankles. Get ready to build a solid foundation with these key stances and shimmies that bring fluidity and strength to your Qigong practice.

8 Stances: Shimmies (count shimmies in the 8), Wuji, Natural, Pigeon, Soft Horse, Deep Horse, Forward & Cat.

Main Standing Posture

In this session, we’re grounding into the power of the main standing posture—a recalibrating posture that your body will soon crave. This standing posture quickly becomes a position of comfort and balance, aligning your energy beautifully. Embrace the calm, and let’s continue to deepen!

Footwork & Balancing

In this fundamentals session, we’re focusing on footwork and balance—starting with our foundational ready position, Wuji. You’ll learn how to “balance before you balance,” creating a steady base with soft knees and grounded hips. This gentle approach to alignment prepares you to move with ease, setting the stage for fluid, balanced movements in every step. Let’s get grounded and ready to flow!

Transitions & Attributes

In this session, we dive into the essentials of harmonizing movement, breath, and focus to cultivate flow, presence, and precision in your practice. Through techniques like Tai Chi arms and microcosmic orbit movements, we explore how rising and rooting, symmetry, and smoothness elevate your energy flow. You’ll learn to synchronize breath with movement, fostering a sense of grace, ease, and grounding.

Qigong Breathing

In this session, we’re diving into the heart of one of the most powerful aspects of Qigong—breathwork. Breath is not just a physical act; it’s a bridge to life force energy, a gateway to deeper awareness, and a tool to unlock vitality and harmony within. Together, we’ll explore both the mechanics and energetics of breath, activating your diaphragm, expanding your lung capacity, and tapping into the subtle, life-enhancing energy that flows through and around you.

Sacred Sounds

In this session, we’ll explore the profound connection between sound, vibration, and the energetic flow within your body. Together, we’ll uncover how natural sounds—like the sacred yawn or the rhythm of your breath—can harmonize your system, release tension, and awaken your vitality.

More training is coming your way soon. We’re going to release this training in chunks so as not to overwhelm anyone. Enjoy taking your time to master the basics, so you have a solid foundation to build upon. When you go slow in the beginning, you will learn much faster later!
