Intro to QiGong

Are you interested in learning more about the practice of QiGong? QiGong is a traditional Chinese practice that concentrates on opening the energy pathways (meridians) in the body for optimal flow. Exercises combine breath work, movement, and meditation to help facilitate balance and wellbeing throughout a person’s entire system.
In this session, participants will be introduced to the basics of QiGong: Focusing the mind, feeling and guiding breath, reducing tension and stress, and remaining present in the body and the moment. Two simple QiGongs (both standing and seated) will be offered. This class is perfect for the beginner and no equipment is needed. Please wear comfortable clothes and plan on being either barefoot, in grippy socks or a separate pair of shoes other than street shoes.
