Expand Into The Restricted Spaces Within

Embark on a journey into universal alignment and balance, laying the foundation for profound change and transformation.

Foster Lifelong Resilience and Refined Strength with Qi Gong, Nei Gong and Ba Gua

Our internal arts curriculum are meticulously crafted to realign your soft connective tissues, sinews, joints, bones, and organ cavities, delivering an immediate sense of space and relief.

These precise alignments facilitate an unimpeded flow of circulation within your blood vessels and throughout your body, empowering you to operate from a state of heightened centrality, control, and vitality.

Each day, you'll open the channels and pathways in your body, clearing physiological, mental, emotional, and energetic blockages and various forms of stagnation. Opening soothes your central & peripheral nervous system and prevents the build-up of knots, stress, and tension.

It's nourishment for the brain and a tonic for your muscles and tendons, rendering movement—and your very posture—more effortless and enjoyable.

You're left with a heightened sense of confidence and ease, coupled with a deeper connection to and mastery over your body.

Our approach is deeply rooted in the holistic philosophies, principles, and theories of traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, and Daoist health-preservation practices.

These time-honored tools, refined through generations and backed by extensive research, are designed to be accessible and effective for anyone who wields them.

  • “When I started taking class with Root of Movement I was in constant pain from an old ankle injury that kept getting re-injured. It had been treated by acupuncturists as well as Western doctors, but the relief was only temporary. It has now been six months since I started taking class and I rarely think about that injury. I am almost never in pain. Beyond that, Qi Gong and Ba Gua have released tension that I didn’t know was there before. I highly recommend these classes!"

    Javier Picayo, Licensed Acupuncturist, East Village NYC

  • "Jonathan is an exceptional teacher and his classes are a highlight of my week. My relationship to my body has changed immensely since studying Ba Gua with him - I feel stronger, more resilient and have greater awareness of my body’s structural integrity, balance and gravitational dynamics. Practicing Ba Gua and Qigong also compliments my sitting practice. Ba Gua was challenging from the beginning, but it quickly revealed a range of motion and movement that I was not accessing and have since begun to enjoy."

    Daniel Cowen, Filmmaker, Manhattan

  • "I was intrigued to start an internal practice because I heard about the benefits of having a meditative practice, but I knew I needed something physical as well. Little did I know, that even in a year so much could change within my body and my relationship to my holding patterns. After class I feel magical. I finally feel like I understand how to breathe and my breathing is so much deeper. I am so grateful for all I have discovered thus far."

    Kenna Bouvet, Professional Dancer/Nutritionist/Acupuncturist, Queens, NYC

  • "I’m extremely busy at work and my mind is constantly racing. The way Jonathan presents the material allows me to focus on the movements and my breath which I find carries over to the rest of my day. They make it incredibly easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to feel better, more focused and more balanced"
