Energy Martial Arts is similar to Tai-Chi in that it brings practitioners an inner awareness of ones body, mind, and energy through slow and meditative movements. This martial art form is also a very dynamic and holistic martial art in that it utilizes oriental healing techniques to experience ones huge potential for physical and mental power and clarity.

Energy Yoga slightly different from traditional Indian forms of yoga, involves deep stretching in both static and active postures and is geared towards releasing tension and stress from the entire body, energy system, and brain. Similar to chi-kung, Energy Yoga also utilizes breath work and meditation towards these holistic health goals.

The Phoenix Project     is a unique national initiative to empower young people and community through holistic self-development, leadership training and volunteer service. In 2005, a group of college students came up with the idea that became the foundation of the Phoenix Project: use the energy and sense of purpose gained through training in Yoga and Martial arts to empower youth and catalyze them to action for their own health and happiness, and to benefit the community.

Every day during the project, phoenix project members engage in a rigorous process of transformational education. This process occurs both through their service to the community, their dynamic interactions with each other, and their powerful training in forms of yoga, martial arts, dance, and meditation. As these young leaders begin to realize their potential, leaving transformed parks, community centers, and lives in their wake, they come to learn what it means to be a Phoenix.

The vision of the Phoenix Project is to be a model for anyone - from college students to CEOs alike - of how to maximize the potential of our bodies and minds to find the energy to create the world we seek.

So far, 128 Phoenixi graduated from 7 terms of the Phoenix Project. The Phoenix Project is 12 days long and prepares participants to apply the skills and energy they gain through the program to continue as young leaders to make a difference in their own communities upon their return.

Testimonials from Community Group Leaders:

Phoenix Project participation with City Year Chicago has had a positive impact on the morale and energy of our youth service corps. At City Year we say, "Multiply the power of everything", and the Phoenix Project invovement in our weekly physical training has enhanced the power and inspiration of this critical component of our organizational culture. --- Dan Yoder, Program Director, City Year Chicago.

On behalf of ABCD and the youth exploration program we want to express our deep gratitude to the Phoenix project for its support of our program. Thanks to your effort over forty students were able to benefit from your breathing and stretching exercises. Your demonstration was a great opportunity for the young people in the inner city to be exposed to new concept of mind and body training. The Phoenix group was very knowledgably and energetic. The groups loved working with the youths and were willing to answer all of their questions. It was a great experience to both our participants and staff; it will have a lasting and memorable effect on our youth. The program was both timely and realistic. It presented an expansion of our outreach and service to the community. --- Gary Prout, Action For Boston Community Development, Youth Exploration Program.
