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.

Over Winter Quarter we will build the practices of Yin/Yang Walking, Yin/Yang Palms, Lotus series, San Jiao and Crane Opens Wings.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing and give yourself at least a 3+ foot radius of space to move.
