While doing T’ai Chi, have you ever wondered about the relationship between breathing and energy? Have you wondered how to maintain that calm state of meditation more consistently?

Healthy breathing is essential for our overall well-being; however, improving our ingrained breathing habits can be challenging, as they reflect our current state of body, mind, and spirit. This program focuses on guiding you toward natural lower belly diaphragmatic breathing. Instead of relying on short-term conscious breathing techniques, we aim to facilitate a natural change in our breathing style, reflecting your everyday life. Our enjoyable and accessible program aims to help you maintain healthy breathing and incorporate positive habits into your daily routine.

This is an extended workshop which goes into detail about how breathing contributes to brain health related to aging. There will be hands-on practice on the renowned Seokmum-Hoheup program. Please bring your yoga mat.

If you already attended the previous presentation with Grand Master Cheon-Pyung, this is a perfect continuation program with Dr. Paul Min. This is also a perfect workshop for new participants.

Dr. Paul Min, Ph.D., serves as an associate professor of radiology and a neuroscientist at Mayo Clinic, where he specializes in dementia research. Beyond his academic pursuits, Dr. Min has practiced Seokmum-Hoheup breathing for 20 years and currently offers instruction to local participants. He is deeply invested in understanding the impact of breathing on brain health, particularly in relation to oxygen and energy delivery as well as waste removal from the brain. Note: This is not a program affiliated with the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Min is personally volunteering to promote a healthy lifestyle through breathing practice to the public.
