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.

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 typically change seasonally.
During our Summer and Fall Tuesday Afternoon series we will use the Yin/Yang Staff. The Yin/Yang Staff is a 4' - 6' length of wooden dowling, 1 to 1.5" in diameter. For indoor practice and/or limited space shorter dowling works well.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and give yourself about a 3+ foot radius of space around you.
