Yinergi is a new holistic life tool aimed at fighting the negative effects of modern society on our mind, body and soul. It combines meditation, soft movement and ancient martial arts principles into a practice of self-awareness, stress reduction, postural alignment and energetic connections.

Yinergi is a form of qigong... a powerful system of healing and energy medicine with its roots in ancient China. It is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy (qi). It is said that qigong practice leads to better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind.

According to recent research, qigong was found to lower levels of cortisol, the damaging stress hormone, while simultaneously increasing immune system activity. In another study, qigong had fewer side effects than medical intervention in detoxifiying heroin addicts, and addicts who practiced qigong and received adjustments from a master had less anxiety and a faster reduction in withdrawal symptoms. Qigong was also found to regulate stress hormones, reduce after-meal blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, and to be effective at reducing pain and anxiety in patients with late-stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)-a condition of cause-unknown pain in the limbs.

The term "Yinergi" is based on two essential components: "yin" - meaning soft, yeilding or empty, and "energy" - referencing the universal active principle of living things --- embodying the belief that the soft approach to life possesses the secrets to reaching our ultimate potential.

Although Yinergi is new, it stems from a 200 year-old Eastern art. Adam Williss developed Yinergi from his training in the traditional Chinese martial art of Wing Chun. "For the most part, people practice Wing Chun for its self-defense benefits," said Williss. "However, it offers uniquely important health and wellness benefits that most people neither realize nor get to experience. That's why I created Yinergi. It is specifically practiced in a slow-moving, soft manner in order to help people gain the many natural health benefits of martial arts beyond self-defense and fighting."

"The best thing about Yinergi," continued Williss, "is that it can be practiced by anyone - including people well over 70 and those that are out-of-shape. Everyone can benefit from this soft holistic exercise. "

Yinergi unifies the traditional internal principles of body alignment with a philosophy that embodies the inherent connection between ourselves and the environment around us. It encompasses a vision of oneness in which each person is seen as part of a whole and directs a return to our natural and more innate sense of living.

It also involves the coordination of specific postures and motions that bring a stronger connection between the mind and body. It also focuses on developing and balancing Chi (Qi), the inherent energy of the Chinese acupuncture system. Soft partner drills that bridge the Chi meridians of individuals harmonize and cultivate a greater awareness of the receiving and delivering flow of energy.

Physically, Yinergi adjusts muscles and ligaments to their ideal length and tension. Organs assume their ideal pressure and temperature. The nervous system relaxes and people begin to accrue reserves of energy, all leading to a more relaxed and healthier mind and body.
