Qigong

qigong

Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”), is the root of Tai Chi and Acupuncture and referred to some as Chinese Yoga.

In this 60-minute class, you will experience:

• Taoist Yoga featuring deep meridian stretching to open your energetic channels

• a short meditation to connect with our breath and our intention

• Supreme Science Qigong, Level 1 Healing Form: Empty Force, Spiraling & Pressing on Qi, Cloud Hands, Earth Hands, Around the World, and Push Hands

These practices are designed to help you feel external energy while increasing circulation throughout your body, have greater focus, and build strength, all the while relaxing your body and mind. The Qi-Energy is so tangible in this Qigong system that experts of Yoga, Meditation, and even practitioners of other styles of Qigong are amazed by how strong it is. The focus is on building a qi-energy (also known as prana) reservoir in your core and being more aware of balance, breath and alignment, which will ultimately cross over into your Yoga practice and other activities as well. During this class, we go through the movements slowly, with the intention of having correct posture and form to maximize the circulation of energy throughout the body. Beginners follow along easily in this powerful and enjoyable practice. Although we sometimes hold a posture longer to make corrections, we primarily flow from one movement to another, attaining a deep meditational state to promote relaxation while strengthening the muscles and improving circulation, flexibility, and an overall sense of well-being.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome.
