Qigong ("chee-gung") originated in China thousands of years ago.  It is enjoyed by millions worldwide for health, longevity, and wellbeing.  The gentle flowing movements and deep breathing vitalize the body while bringing peace of mind. We will explore a variety of Qigong routines. Qigong practice may be modified for comfort and current capacity and may be performed seated with benefit.

 

Meditation will be incorporated with Qigong as a complementary practice for short periods. The life-enriching benefits of Meditation have been broadly reported. It is easy to learn and enjoyable to do.

 

This class is suitable for beginning and experienced students alike.
