QIGONG PRACTICE
Qigong practices use movement, breath and intention to improve mental and physical well being. Qigong movements promote balance, flexibility, strength, inner calm and resilient vitality. There are many Qigong forms - with movements similar to Tai Chi in flow and balance. Most forms are suitable for beginners, as well as experienced students looking to deepen their practice.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON

4:30 - 5:30 PM
Tuesday Afternoon Qigong practice sets are chosen to support vitality, calm, balance and strength. We "practice resilience" through the rhythmic, natural expansion outward and softening inward of breath and body. Practice sets change seasonally.
During our Summer Tuesday Afternoon series we will use the Yin/Yang Pole. The Yin/Yang Pole is a length of wooden dowling 1 to 1.5" in diameter and approximately 6' long. For indoor practice a 4' length of 1 to 1.5" diameter works well.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and give yourself about a 3+ foot radius of space around you.
