Qigong: A Time-Proven Practice for Overall Balance and Health (in-person and Zoom)
Instructor: Pennie Pries
Six-week session.
Meets DECEMBER 8, 15, 22, 29; JANUARY 5, 12
Cost: $60 for entire series
The fundamental principle of qigong (pronounced CHEE-gung) is that everything in the universe is a form of energy, including every cell in our body. “Qi” means “life-force energy” and “gong” means “skill, or to work with,” so the integrated mind-body practice of qigong means “to skillfully work with your life-force energy.” This ancient practice uses simple movements, mindful breathing, stretching, energy activation and intention to balance your entire being (mind, body, spirit and emotion). It helps to calm your nervous system, support healing of your internal organs, enhance circulation and build resiliency.
No experience is necessary, and every six-week session has a new focus or theme, balancing basic core principles with new information and movements. All exercises can be done seated or modified to accommodate physical challenges or medical restrictions. The recorded practice is available to be experienced repeatedly, as your weekly schedule allows. This encourages routine movement for emotional calm, better health and increased vitality.
Note: Pennie resides in Rochester, Minnesota, so she typically will lead the first class of each series in person at the FSC and the remainder of classes via Zoom. Participants may continue to meet at the FSC for the entire series.
