Traditional Wisdom

Qigong is an ancient Chinese art, combining breathing and moving exercises to improve physical health and calm the mind.

A Teacher You Can Trust

For the past 25 years, Paul Bloom has studied classical qigong with Chinese master Kwan Sai-hung and also been a practitioner of Buddhism. His in depth examination of Chinese philosophy at Harvard and Columbia Universities enriches and augments the traditional wisdom he’s gained during a quarter century of study.

Paul has actively included the Buddhist principles of the rare and precious nature of being a human being and the significant role of love and compassion in realizing one’s full potential.

Mr. Bloom has conducted qigong workshops at the Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY and taught at Buddhist retreats nationwide.  He presently teaches weekly classes in Woodstock, Kingston, Rhinebeck, Saugerties and Red Hook, NY.  Paul’s focus is to present these ancient, time-honored healing and spiritual practices in a systematic, step-by-step fashion accessible to the modern Western person.

Spiritually Grounded

Paul has spent a quarter century studying qigong with the Chinese Taoist Kwan Sai-hung and is also a studient of Buddhism.  Mr. Kwan is part of the Taoist Northern Complete Reality School.  As a Taoist he practiced physical, mental and spiritual exercises to create a complete and balanced life in relation to the Tao or Way, the greater reality and flow of life in the universe. One is a microcosm of the greater macrocosm that is the universe.  The Complete Reality School believed in using the totality of experience to improve humanity and used Confucianism and Buddhism as well as Taoism.

In this spirit, Paul has actively included in his teaching the Buddhist principles of the rare and precious nature of being a human and the significant role of love and compassion in realizing one’s potential as a human being.
