Re-Learn How to Eat, Sleep & Breathe with Alex Tan

Posted: August 9th, 2012 | Author: LumDimSum | Filed under: Health & Fitness, Upcoming Events | Tags: Alex Tan, Eat Sleep Breathe Workshop, Eight Golden Treasures, Qi Gong, The Hutong, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) | 2 Comments »

TCM Guru Alex Tan leads ‘Eat Sleep Breathe’ Workshop 

“The Ordinary Doctor treats disease, but the Superior Doctor helps the people to discover The Right Way of Living.”

When I first signed up for Alex Tan’s 5 week “Eat Sleep Breathe” workshop at The Hutong in March 2012, I did not expect the magnificent and powerful impact it has had on both my life and the way I now think about healthy choices and living habits.

My original intentions for signing myself up half a year ago was inspired by a general effort to be more active (with a completed goal of running two half marathons) and a focus more on my personal overall state of health and well-being.

Celebrate Americanism with Red, White, Blue & BBQ’s

It’s the Fourth of July which marks America’s Independence Day, a day to commemorate the day we declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. I love that Americans celebrate the history, government and traditions of the United States with outdoor BBQ’s, picnics, fireworks and water guns.  

Bloody brilliant.

I suppose any excuse to surround yourself with good friends and good BBQ is a good enough excuse for the entire American population. Makes perfect sense!

Join The Hutong on “the ride of a lifetime” biking through Yunnan

After a very active, long weekend in the Genghis Khan MTB Adventure & Grassland Marathon in Inner Mongolia where I ran the half marathon fundraising for Team Operation Smile and embarked on mountain biking adventures through the grasslands, I have been inspired to continue on this path of spending more time outdoors and exploring other picturesque regions of China that reminds me that there is so much more beyond this little bubble of Beijing.

Only three days away was all I needed to feel rejuvenated (must have been the overload of fresh, clean air).

In case you don’t follow me already on Instagram @lumdimsum, here are a few snapshot highlights of my weekend in Inner Mongolia:

Learn “The Basics” of Chinese Cooking at The Hutong

The Basics: Chinese Cooking Class at The Hutong

I’ve always been pretty useless in the kitchen, but even more so in China. I can barely even go grocery shopping without my head hurting. Because it’s difficult for me to read a lot of Chinese characters, I have no idea what anything is and I end up wandering the aisles feeling overwhelmed and leaving lost, frustrated and worst of all, empty-handed.

Because of my love for good food, I’ve always been curious about cooking and I always thought that if I had the time, I would like very much to learn a few tricks, or at least enough to make a decent meal for myself once in awhile.

A culture exchange center that’s a wonderful platform to “share culture and knowledge”, The Hutong is always hosting interesting community events, organic food fairs, and I’m a huge advocate of their educational health classes with TCM guru Alex Tan. But in all the years I’ve been a friend and supporter of The Hutong in all respects, I had never been to one of their cooking classes.

Learn Qi Gong & Healthier Living Habits with Alex Tan

Alex Tan leading Qi Gong in ‘Eat Sleep Breathe’ Workshop 

When I first signed up for Alex Tan’s 5 week “Eat Sleep Breathe” workshop at The Hutong, I did not expect the impact it has had on my life.

My original intentions for signing myself up a month and a half ago was inspired by a general effort to be more active this year and take on healthier living habits. So when Mark from the Hutong first told me that Alex’s workshop would “change my life”, I have to admit, I was skeptical.  But over the course of the past five weeks, I have totally changed my daily habits around for the better and it’s all thanks to Alex Tan.

In bed by 11PM, up at 6:30 every morning and enough time to practice the Eight Golden Treasures Qi Gong exercises and make a hot breakfast every morning before heading off to work, I am so impressed that I’ve been able to stick with this new regime. I’ve never been a morning person, I used to save most of my work for post-midnight when I found myself most productive, but going to bed earlier and doing what I need to get done first thing in the morning is just as productive and I feel more rested with this schedule than if I slept the same amount of hours pushed back.
