Brea Fisher is the founder of Quan Yin Gongfu, a practice tradition of ceremonial Qigong, Taiji, and Gongfu. Under the guidance of Quan Yin, Goddess of compassion, and held by the Eagle Claw lineage, we cultivate presence, kindness, and discipline. Brea has dedicated her life to sharing the Chinese internal martial arts—powerful practices that cultivate sensitivity to the subtle as a method for deepening intimacy with Life. The practices of the Quan Yin Gongfu temple bring practitioners together with the intention to dissolve emphasis on competition, hierarchy, and gender bias with which the martial and internal arts field is saturated. Most but not all of Brea’s offerings are for women, those who identify as female or feminine, or who are non-binary female bodied.
As an artist, Brea’s work unites the visual arts and written word with the Chinese internal martial arts. Her daily dedication to these disciplines began in 2007, and she has devoted her life to the practice since then. Brea carries the lineage of Eagle Claw Turning Style (Ying Zhao Fan Zi Men), teaching Gongfu and Taiji forms handed down to her by Master Sing Chui. And as a student of and conduit for the energy of Quan Yin, the Qigong forms Brea teaches serve as transmission from Her. Residing on lands of Tewa, Ute, and Pueblo peoples in New Mexico, USA, Brea teaches online and in person, offering 1:1 mentorship, on-going courses, workshops, intensive study immersions, and retreats.
