Description

We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

Qigong, sometimes called the grandmother of tai chi, is the basic exercise system within Chinese medicine. It focuses on opening the places in your body where your circulating energy is blocked, allowing your life force, known as “qi”, to flow freely. As a slow-moving, peaceful, meditative form of exercise, qigong can be practiced by people of all ages and abilities. We will use a mix of videos from the Great Courses to lead our routines. The movements in this course are slow and simple, and always carefully modeled and explained. The practice of qigong, time-tested over thousands of years, has the potential to improve your physical fitness, free your mind, and energize your life with renewed vitality. This class is offered by the Iowa City Senior Center at no cost, registration required. Facilitator: Emily Edrington
