Chinese Wisdoms, Qigong & Tai
Chi Easy
Smooth, progressive, self-enhancement
movements of Qigong, like the flowing
movements of Tai Chi Easy, are designed
to discover, gather, and dissolve
Qi, the vital energy of the universe.
Our goal is to attain calm and reduce
stress as we release the healing elixir
within. This medical tradition comes
to us from a profound Chinese cultural
legacy thousands of years old. Celebrate
the health benefits derived from deep
breathing, good posture, and mental
focus. Deceptively easy, Qigong is
self-empowering. Qi classes conclude
with tea. Beginning and intermediate
students are welcome. Limit: 15 students.
Choose one from the times below. Ten
weeks.
