River Flow Holistic

Words can only begin to express the gratitude my mind body and soul have for Ja Song Won & Ju. This practice and those souls have been an absolute lifeline for me in my healing journey. This practice and their love, teaching, mentorship and commitment to me is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced— I am beyond grateful and blessed to have discovered River Flow Holistic. I started 6 months ago when I was in a depressed and at a low vibrational frequency. Day by day this practice has strengthened and healed my habits, my body, my mind, and my commitment towards being my highest self. Thank you, Ja Song Won & Ju, for being an integral part of this past year not knocking me completely down, and for always being their to help me get back on my feet and encouraging me to take the action necessary so that what was meant to break me only makes me stronger, wiser, and an all around more beautiful, and humble, being. To anyone still reading this who’s interested in energy work, spiritual exercises, healing from depression, somatic healing, or just qi gong/tai chi in general, START HERE. 🙏🏽💚✨

I joined River Flow Holistic at the end of last year, with classes being in person until March and then online/video classes since then. While I loved having classes in person, the Zoom classes have been excellent and I’ve been getting as much out of them as the in-person classes. We’ve got attendees from different parts of the country, and it’s much easier for me to join evening classes. Since I started, my balance, grounding, and strength have improved, both physically and mentally/emotionally. Last year I had severe back pain, with a bulging disk, and it was a very strong wake-up call that I had to treat and balance my body better. I had previously looked into Tai Chi, but hadn’t found anything locally that fit – there were some with bad reviews, some that only did it once a week, and many that assumed you were retired and could take classes in the middle of the work day – even some that said you had to be over 50 to join. When I found River Flow Holistic last year, I recognized that they specialized in these methods for all kinds of people and I was excited to have the introductory session. It was obvious from the start that Juyoung and River want you to become healthy and thrive in every way. I was introduced to qigong, energy training – tai chi is a subset of this, and we do both in class. The first focus for me was the feet, making sure I had a strong foundation to be able to do the movements and poses/stances (forms) in a way that would strengthen me and reduce my risk of injury. We get individual guidance regularly, and in class the teachers are looking to check how we’re doing and providing gentle direction if we’re not doing things in the most beneficial way. When my back was bad they would say "if you have a bad back, don’t do this / do this gently / modify this way" – in the classes I also hear advice for if you have shoulder pain, neck pain, knee pain, etc. – they know the issues of the class members and make sure that everybody is doing what’s best for their own body condition. We’re also advised on daily exercises to overcome individual issues and having an everyday focus on movement. It's such a pleasure to learn from true teachers and experts. With Juyoung, expect smiling, laughing, fun, and encouragement to love your body and treat it well, as well as amazing personal advice and attention. I don’t interact with River as much, but I recognize that he has wisdom and masteries that are beyond my current level and I look forward to learning more from him. I leave every class feeling better, having connected with friendly people and relaxed while energizing. I move differently now, finding myself flow smoothly while doing everyday things like yardwork and cooking. I look forward to continuing my journey and growing my energy.

Master Ja and Master Ju are truly gifted healers and I recommend anyone looking to improve their health sign up for a session. I am fascinated by their ability to see the smallest detail in your movements and know what that means about your body - I've never seen anything like it before. They are also able to see your energy. You will definitely be blessed to have them focus their attention on you and share their personalized recommendations. I have issues with my immune system and suffer from random aches and pains. A while back I went to a physical therapist for arm pain and it took them months to determine I had nerve pain from a compressed disc in my neck that was radiating down my arm. Master Ju noticed in one online sessions what it took the PT months to notice and she offered solutions that he probably wasnt even aware of. Even more interesting is that I wasnt even having much pain in my arm anymore but she noticed my posture and told me to do the things the PT recommended and more. This is just one of the many times I have been amazed by their ability to really SEE you. I cannot recommend them enough - especially if you have mysterious and chronic health problems.

River Flow Holistic Changed My Life! I’ve been dealing with an S-curve scoliosis for as long as I can remember, which causes constant pain, numbness, and tingling throughout my body. I’ve also been immunocompromised, so finding relief has always been an uphill battle. After years of seeing doctors, physical therapists, and chiropractors around NJ and NYC, none of them were able to address the real issues of muscle weakness, tightness, and nerve pain. Most focused on reducing the curvature of my spine or just prescribing painkillers, which didn’t help me heal in a meaningful way. That all changed when I discovered River Flow Holistic. The instructors taught me how to listen to my body and build strength through practices like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga, and relaxation techniques. They took a truly holistic approach, helping me learn not just exercises, but also how to walk properly, eat better, and take care of my health in ways that I had never considered before. This was crucial for me, especially because my scoliosis had caused my hips to become uneven, creating even more problems with my lower body. At first, the pain made it hard to stick with the practice, but over time I started to notice real progress. I became more comfortable holding my body in the exercises, and slowly, I felt stronger and more alive. The numbness I had lived with for years began to ease, and I could feel parts of my body I had forgotten about coming back to life. River Flow Holistic gave me a foundation for health that I had been missing for years. I’m still on my journey, but I can confidently say that this practice has made a world of difference. If you’re looking for a place that truly understands the mind-body connection and offers real solutions for chronic pain and health issues, I highly recommend River Flow Holistic. It has been a life-changing experience for me!

I am a Senior Citizen who could not do yoga because of joint pain. I found River Flow Holistic and decided to take Tai Chi classes because I was concerned about developing balance and a strong core as I age. Their program has exceeded all of my expectations and succeeded in developing the overall health I was looking for! Oh, they also do weekly one on one check-in sessions, so beneficial! Their class is online, and Masters Ja and Ju diligently observe my form to make sure I am doing the postures correctly. Master Ju (my instructor) breaks down every pose into steps, helping make the poses easier for me to learn. As a result of taking River Flow classes, I have felt an increase in my energy, my balance and core strength have greatly improved, and I have no joint pain. I also love the Qigong element that is incorporated into the lessons. In every class, Master Ju encourages me to pay attention to my mind-body-spirit connection, so I can live more in the present. I have become much more intentional about how I care for myself. By doing this, I have created a stronger sense of well-being in my life. River Flow Holistic has been spot-on for me; I have greatly benefited from their care and knowledge!

I've been training at River Flow Holistic for around nine months now and can already say that it has changed my life for the better. I am in better shape, I feel more energy and less stress, I'm getting better sleep, and I've hardly been sick since I started training. These Qi Gong and Tai Chi practices will elevate you on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, opening the doors to new realms of possibility. Master Ja and Master Ju also care very much about your personal wellbeing, and tailor their training accordingly. I highly recommend getting in touch with them!

River Flow Holistic is an experience like no other and must be personally experienced to understand how it benefits the wholeness of you--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have a fitness background and consider myself to be physically fit with a strong core so I was quite surprised to find my "internal" core needed work. Owners, Ju and River, are the quintessential teachers, taking you from wherever you are and leading you step by step, at your own pace. They are patient, non-judgmental, and completely committed to each member. They are beautiful people that work with you and encourage you along your journey. After only four months, I already feel stronger inside and out and most importantly, I feel much lighter--with a feeling of positive energy and joy.
