BASIC DETAILS:In-person qigong (i.e., Chinese-style yoga-like exercises) at Rivercrest Park in Tampa on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.
This event is FREE.
If you want to express gratitude for the teachings, please consider signing up for the online classes I offer through RottenWoodQigong.com.
The plan is to meet beneath the biggest oak tree in the park (which is next to the green-roofed, octagon-shaped pavilion/pagoda structure). If there are other people there using that space, we will find another place in the park to practice--just look for me. (I'll be wearing an orange hat with a smiley face on it.)
Please try to arrive a few minutes early to sign the waiver form for this event.
Please note we will be outside. (If the weather looks bad, please check here for info on whether or not it is cancelled.)
Please also note that there are no restrooms at Rivercrest Park.
WHAT IS THIS STUFF ANYWAY?
Qigong is Chinese yoga and meditation. It incorporates ideas of body, mind, health, and cosmos from Daoism, Chinese Buddhism, traditional Chinese medicine, and the internal martial arts.
We will begin with simple warm-up exercises and then do various moving qigong practices to stretch and condition the body.
Beginners welcome.
You do not need a yoga mat or a meditation cushion for this class.
Practices can be modified to accommodate many different abilities and ranges of movement.
WHO IS LEADING THIS STUFF?
This class is led by Steve Geisz, Ph.D. (that's me). I am a graduate of the multi-year qigong-teacher-training program of Ken Cohen, a Certified Full Instructor in the Universal Tao/Healing Tao qigong system of Mantak Chia, and a 500-hour registered yoga teacher (RYT 500).
