This class will have a daytime emphasis.  

Qi Gong (pronounced CHEE-gung) is an ancient Chinese form of gentle exercise composed of movements that are repeated a number of times and can be performed by just about anyone. The movements are very much like light stretching and light calisthenics. It utilizes gentle flowing low-impact movements and can even be done seated. Qigong combines movement, breathing and meditation to improve health, fitness and well-being by moving universal energy through the body.  To kick off the winter series she will do a special seated Full Body Tapping routine to disperse energetic stagnation, release physical tension, and promote deep rest and rejuvenation. This will be followed by a 15 healing sounds practice with a physical, emotional and spiritual sound for each of the five traditional Chinese medicine organ function systems. No previous Qi Gong experience required. Just bring your willingness to have FUN!  

Class motto: “Look 1 inch taller, feel five years younger!”
