What Bama does

The work

Bama Kim teaches Qigong, therapeutic exercise, breathwork, and meditation rooted in traditional Korean energy practices. Her published approach is body-based: rather than talking about energy, she guides people to experience and shift it directly through body, breath, movement, and awareness. She serves as Regional Director for Body & Brain Centers in Northern New York and as a Senior Trainer for national and regional workshops, retreats, and corporate wellness programs, and is the main trainer for SUN Institute (New Jersey School of Integrative Health) Yoga Therapy and Hwalgong acupressure certification courses. On Instagram she posts as @that.urban.monk, described on her own page as 'Therapeutic Exercise & Qigong Expert'.
