Meets SEPTEMBER 2, 9, 16, 23, 30; OCTOBER 7
The fundamental principle of qigong (pronounced CHEE-gung) is that everything in the universe is a form of energy, including every cell in our bodies. “Qi” means “energy” and “gong” means “to work with”— so, the mind-body practice of qigong translates to “working with the body’s energy.” Through the use of simple movements, breathing and meditation, you can experience improved health and wellness. Qigong sustains and improves the health of the immune system, nervous system and internal organs. Stress reduction occurs through the combination of breathing, movement and internal focus.
