“Taiji can give you the strength of a lumberjack, the pliability of a child, and the peace of mind of a sage.”
– Asian proverb

Qigong classes
Qigong classes are held on Tuesdays, 10am-11am. ​Teacher-guided breathing exercises to optimize “Qi” circulation to regulate your mind and body’s movement and posture – providing a sense of joy and calm. Qigong is an old, developing discipline that combines breathing exercises, movement, self-massage, gong meditation, and healing postures to provide a comprehensive approach to self-healing exercise and meditation.

What’s the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi? Both Tai Chi and Qigong are great forms of health and healing, but:
•Qigong is easy to learn, and it can be practiced at home regularly, while Tai Chi requires memorization of movements in sequence
•There are an infinite number of Qigong styles that suit everyone’s level, while Tai Chi movements can be longer and more challenging
•Qigong exercises can be practiced while sitting, standing, or lying down, while Tai Chi is a continuous and moving meditation
