This Week:
Tuesday ~ 7:00 to 8:20 am ~ Yoga Soup
Thursday ~ 7:00 to 8:20 am ~ Yoga Soup
Early morning practice has been the tradition of all seekers from time immemorial.
Join master teacher Jim Cutsinger to practice and learn a unique form of Qigong (chee-gúng) that adapts ancient Chinese health exercises to state of the art knowledge of applied neuroscience and fitness. Qi, the indescribable, intelligent force that animates the world, is unseen, yet, we can experience this primordial qi as our own vitality and nature.
The Practice
The exercises are flowing, full body movements synchronized with the breath and mindful attention. Each movement is designed for specific aspects of your Being. The exercises are easy to learn and modify for a more gentle or dynamic practice. Repetition develops a high quality of movement, awareness and attunement.
- Learn Self Health Care
- Directly experience and express Qi- a practice for Life!
- Have more energy for your life’s purpose
- Be attuned to inner guidance and your emerging self
- Create balance, strength, grace, confidence, and well being
- Radiate the embodiment of Centered Vitality
With Golden Lion Qigong we find a centered way of life, connected to the wisdom of our deeply authentic nature.

The Teacher
Jim Cutsinger brings a lifetime of discipline, study, practice and teaching human development at the intersection of health, psychology and spirituality. Starting in childhood with religious training and sports, then moving to strength training, musicianship and studies in consciousness in adolescence, at 21 he turned to regular yoga, meditation, running and backpacking. At 31 he began 5 years of solitary spiritual practice in nature at the Mahatma Gandhi Yoga Ashram, which led to Bodywork,Depth Psychology, Shamanism and Deep Emotional work with groups.
At 38, he created the “Conscious Deep Bodywork” method which he taught at the Diamond Light School of Healing and Massage in Marin County for 5 Years. He has shared his teachings through retreats, seminars and trainings and is the creator of Golden Lion Qigong.
Jim has been a professional musician since age 16, and was the founder of Meadowgate Music Productions in Montecito. Jim has worked as a leader with the Council Circle Foundation, the Mankind Project Santa Barbara and apprenticed at the Santa Barbara Management Training Company. In 1994 he began the study and practice of Taoism and Qigong. Since 2005 he maintains the practice, study and teaching of Qigong, Meditation, Core Athletics and Strength Training.

Thanks to Ann James, Kevin Twohy, Wayne Marshall and Simon D’Arcy for encouraging and contributing to this page, this work, and most importantly, for contributing to My Life!
Lot’s of Love, Jim
Lovely page, Jim, and thank you for the compliment.
I encourage anyone who wants a more balanced and joyful life to work with Jim, a master at connecting body and soul. Simple yet challenging >> with positive results.
Jim is a gifted teacher that makes this practice easily accessible to both beginners and more experienced students. After a few sessions, I have been able to practice on my own and am feeling more grounded and present and alive. Check out his class. You’ll be glad you did.
This subtly powerful holistic tradition of healing both taught and embodied by Jim has been a gift to me. A post-surgical complication was increasingly limiting my life in both quality, comfort and mobility when I started Jim’s Qi Gong practice. Because the practice is breath-based, balanced, slow, and self-modulated, my body responded and I gently began to heal organically. For people who are healing from physical or psychic wounds, I recommend Jim’s offering unequivocally.
Jim’s knowledge of whole mind and body training will be a help to anyone seeking that perfect fitness routine. I can’t recommend my brother strongly enough. As a testament to his fitness level he and I powered through a hike up to the top of Cold Springs trail in Santa Barbara. This hike is 8 miles with 2700 feet in elevation change. He practically ran up it.
Qi Gong will help you achieve good physical conditioning while slowing the cascade of thoughts in your mind down to a manageable level. I recommend it!
The Golden Lion looks like he is ready to soar!
Jimbo,
Way to soar…see you one of these Tuesday mornings!
Straight ahead…
