Really glad I found Morning Crane. This was honestly one of those places I didn't even realize I…read morehad been looking for until I experienced it. It's in a cute upstairs space in downtown Willow Glen, and the second you walk in it just feels peaceful. It has a calming atmosphere that makes you slow down for a minute. I went in for an evaluation because I've been dealing with some pretty intense foot and ankle pain. Christine spent time asking questions and really trying to understand what my body has been through instead of jumping straight into treatment. I appreciated that she looked at everything as a whole rather than just focusing on where it hurt. She scanned my body and also performed fire cupping where it made sense. I left feeling so much better than when I walked in. I also know this probably isn't a one-visit fix, and I actually appreciated that there weren't any unrealistic promises--just a plan to help my body continue healing. If you're looking for a more holistic approach to caring for your body, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I'll absolutely be back.

I was late for my 10am appointment at Morning Crane this morning and had to rush to get there,…read morewhich is not how you want to start off a relaxing massage. It was my first time seeing Christine, and she was kind about me being tardy. We did an intake session and then she used the short time we had left (due to me being late) for a massage. Christine first focused on my shoulders and neck where I hold pain. She incorporated stretches into the deep tissue massage. I had a heat lamp on my feet to warm them and relaxing music played overhead. I relaxed in no time. Next she massaged my face and jawline, reminding me occasionally to breathe deeply. It felt wonderful. I had a mild migraine when we started and it was gone when we were done. Christine is very personable and well educated in holistic healing practices. I'm looking forward to returning and also plan to look into her qigong classes.

It's going to sound pretty radical to say that my life has changed since I started coming here, but…read moreit has. My relationships are better, my work is better, my body is better, my skin is better, and I feel stronger and more balanced. I daresay I'm even happier. ;-) I'm a Feng Shui Consultant, so I know all about "zen". However, living in a beautiful Feng Shui environment PLUS doing Medical/Exercise Qi Gong & Acupuncture on your body, is like living in a state of perfect balance. Qi Gong is very much like doing Feng Shui on your body. They both are based on the I-Ching, The Five Elements, and many similar precepts. I've been going to Zen for Medical Qi Gong since October, 2011. She is deeply wise beyond her years. I've seen Kaile twice for Acupuncture, and she's wonderful and very caring. I've also seen Yoevita twice for acupuncture, and she has a "hands on" approach (which I like) and she does a bit of shiatsu where necessary. Yoevita also saw me on a rather emergency basis when I had a migraine, which I *totally* appreciated. I've done the Group Qi Gong Exercise in Los Gatos, which is led by Craig and Zen, so I can also vouch for the fact that Craig is very good at what he does. You really can't go wrong with this clinic. It also has very nice Feng Shui. ;-)

Nothing fancy, but run with love. Ron Lew (http://www.tigereyeclaw.com/) runs this center and…read moreteaches various forms of martial arts, namely Tai Chi. I met him through classes taught at Google, and am trying to get more healthy movement in my life, and his school is in San Jose, next door to my hood. I'm taking Tai Chi, technically, and he teaches the Chinese and Tibetan forms. I'm learning the Chinese since he teaches it at Google so I should stay consistent. My preference is Qi Gong, which I feel is more meditative and simpler in terms of movement (I like simple), but both are gentle enough forms and I am open to learning. One room has a firmer rubber mat, the second room has a "waterbed" format where the mat is stuffed with some soft material and walking on it forces your feet and body to constantly renegotiate equilibrium. Definitely a work out! Ron is a very Western-style teacher. He's said he's third generation Chinese and doesn't speak Chinese fluently, so, he's approaching things from a Western mind set I guess and can "translate." Examples - when he tries to describe the weight distribution of your feet he will often resort to % descriptions, and I think he knows a Western/American mind understands that logic better than other descriptions. He explains why he's asking you to do things, and why you are performing certain forms in a certain way. He is jokey, friendly, open, and conversational. He will test you gently by walking away and leaving you to figure out forms he's taught you, or ask you to do the forms with your eyes closed. He wants you to enjoy the forms versus to become overly fixated on perfection/military precision. That being said, he will correct you on incorrect form and movement. Am definitely enjoying myself and have referred a friend to his class already. I'm hoping it continues to work out and that we stick to it and enjoy it for the long term!

That is not true. My teacher was in Tibet. So therefore he could never have met my teacher. Second the Tibetan he teaches he does not have full authority and lacks the understanding of the teaching. Also he call a Lopon is a high title given to tantric masters. He did not go through the rites or transmission. It is disrespectful. Third to not name me but to try to make me go away by calling me a disciple. Rather I was given full rights as a holder and master. Full master. If you choose to learn fine just know there are Tibetan that are offended but choose to let it go. This all I have to say except he is not willing to talk directly about it. It is fully out of integrity. Just letting everybody know. In 1981, Sifu Lew met Master Peng-si Yu and his wife, Min Ouyang from Shanghai. He also met Master Hu from Tibet. For over 20 years, Sifu Lew was heavily into the external Kung-fu. He furthered his studies in the internal arts: the "calming the Mind and Healing art" through Qi Gong, long hours of Standing Meditation, Breath work and Tibetan Energy understanding. He founded Ti Aki in the honor of my teacher. This would have my teacher turning in his Grave. Just so you know.
