On November 2nd, we will be focusing on the form Immune Boosting Qigong as taught by Master Liu He. This is an ideal form as we move into the colder seasons to strengthen our immunity and to drive out pathogens. We will also be learning simple self massage techniques to bring our defensive Qi to the surface.
No experience required and beginners encouraged. Modifications for chair Qigong for all movement practices can be taught on request.
No special clothing required but they should be easy to move in.
