Qi gong (“chee gong”) is an age-old health cultivation practice from China that incorporates postures and movements, breathing, and visualization, intended to bring about a deep feeling of vitality and vibrancy. More than just exercise, Qi gong is a philosophy of life that cultivates healing, wellness and wisdom.  

As we enter the Fall, it is important to support our immunity, so this introductory class will focus on doing just that. Immune Boosting Qi Gong isdesigned to strengthen bones, increase flexibility, mobilize joints and heal the seven emotions. In addition, we will practice self-massage, foundational qi gong postures and short meditations. We will discuss how to practice and why, as well as delve into the fundamental philosophies of Chinese medicine and—through discussions on the movements themselves, diet, and lifestyle—learn how to live more in harmony with the changing seasons.

Please bring a comfortable cushion or chair, with a blanket &/or mat for lying down meditation, and if you like to take notes, a notepad and pen. As always, wear loose comfortable clothing, and bring layers for warmth.

This will be an ongoing Thursday evening class, Starting September 26th- December 19th.
