This lesson will cover basics of the Chinese martial and energy art called qigong — a practice that has existed for thousands of years.
About this Event

Qigong is an ancient energy cultivation practice that literally translates into “energy work”. In Qigong, we utilize the power of our breath, postures, movement, and meditation to clear, align, circulate, and strengthen our Qi. Qi means vital life-force energy. There are so many health benefits of practicing Qigong. Not just on a physical level, but also emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. According to the Taoist philosophy, all dis-ease originates from blocked or stagnant energy flow. Therefore, it is believed that every condition can be improved with better energy flow, thus the practice of Qigong. The question then becomes, "Why not practice Qigong?"

Here are 10 proven benefits of regularly practicing Qigong:

  • Relieves Chronic Muscle Pain
  • Relieves Anxiety & Depression
  • Improves Cognitive Function
  • Lowers Blood Pressure
  • Improves Sleep
  • Boosts Energy Levels
  • Increases Bone Density
  • Boosts Immune System
  • Relieves Mental & Emotional Stress
  • Relieves Arthritis Pain

In this class participants will learn how to tune into their internal life-force, clear stagnant energy from the body’s organs and meridians, as well as strengthen and harmonize their Qi through various Qigong exercises. All levels are welcome.
