8 Treasures Qigong with Dr. Kat (Hybrid ~ PDX + Online)
About this Event
Join certified Qigong teacher Dr. Kat Brady, LAc. for an hour of Qigong in which we will dive deep into Qigong forms and unlock their magic. We will practice and learn the theory behind forms from the rich lineage of the Liu family as taught by the Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School.
Through late October, we will be focusing on the traditional form 8 Treasures Qigong. This form was originally developed around 1300AD to help monks who were sitting in meditation all day move, stretch, and strengthen their bodies. Each of the 8 treasures accomplishes this while all supporting the functions of our organs.
No experience required and beginners encouraged. Modifications for chair Qigong will be given for all movement practices. It is encouraged but not required to attend all classes.
No special clothing required but they should be easy to move in.
Classes are available to take in person at Glimmer Wellness Center in SE Portland, or live online on Zoom.
Exchange: $15-$25 per class or $120 for the full 8-week series
