About this event

Description

Qigong is an ancient Chinese art derived from the Taoist philosophy, that utilizes meditation, repetitive movements, and breath to work with our internal energy or qi. The Chinese word “qi” refers to the life-force energy that animates all living things. The key to maintaining robust levels of this energy source is to work towards balancing all of the energies of our being: body, mind, and spirit. The word “gong” means to “work,” so pursuing a practice of Qigong literally means to work towards building strong, vital life-force energy. Because of its holistic nature, qigong is a wonderful exercise practice to improve physical balance and, therefore, the performance of daily activities. In this class we will be learning a set of simple qigong movements as well as focusing on other balance exercises and practices. Participants should wear loose fitting clothing and sturdy footwear.
