What is Qigong?
Qigong, pronounced “Chee gong” is a combination of two words: “qi” meaning life force energy and “gong” which translates to cultivation or work. Together, the words describe an ancient Chinese practice that harnesses the power of breath, movement, and intention to create health and balance within the body, mind, and spirit.
Qigong practice incorporates slow, gentle movements to warm up tendons, ligaments, and muscles; mobilize the joints; and promote the circulation of body fluids including blood and lymph.
Beginners first learn how to coordinate physical movements with breath through the repeated practice of exercises. They then work on turning those exercises into moving meditation, or finding the change in energy within the postures, movements, breathing patterns, and transitions.
Qigong optimizes the flow of energy in the body to help mitigate any number of conditions including anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, inflammation, arthritis, chronic pain, and disease.
Classes are offered from 10-11am on Wednesdays at
