– Asian proverb

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.

•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
