Beginning Qigong

Virtual Course

Day and Time TBD

Tuition TBD

Qigong is an entire wing of Traditional Chinese Medicine and can be applied to many issues that effect you. When someone says they practice Qigong, in general, they mean that they are practicing an art meant to create greater health and wellbeing in the practitioner. This cultivation of energy can be done for martial and self-defense purposes as well as for the healing of disease and trauma.

In this course, we’ll discuss and practice the basic principles of Qigong as they apply to developing and maintaining health and well-being. Ideal for both beginners and experienced practitioners alike, we’re going to cultivate our relationship with our energy, mind, and body. In each class, we will utilize stationary and moving meditative movements and techniques to develop our sense of central equilibrium, strengthen our joints, muscles, ligaments, and energetic flow.

What you can expect in class

During each class, we’ll spend time warming up and loosening our bodies, followed by standing meditation to gain deeper self awareness and to develop the internal structure and strength needed for health and wellbeing.

We’ll then shift into working with a short 8 posture Tai Chi movement set and a small 7 movement set of Qigong, exploring the fundamental principles and methods of qi circulation and cultivation as they manifest in the postures.

Students will also receive energetic assistance during each class. This means that I work with your energy field to balance, protect and amplify your energies. This helps you flow with a higher level of energy (Qi) and also helps make this subtle field less subtle so that you can integrate the techniques and methods more effortlessly into your everyday life. It’s two hours of bonus energy work each week!
