Qi Gong Classes

What is Qi Gong?
Qi Gong, is a gentle, internal style of martial arts, which focuses upon the cultivation of the life energy called Qi. Developed in China over a span of four thousand years, Qi Gong teaches you to control the flow and distribution of Qi (Life Energy) to improve the health and harmony of your mind, body and spirit.  The ultimate goal of Qi Gong is to create an inner harmony and balance in which illnesses and disease cannot manifest.

Beginning Qi Gong
In this class you learn the internal alchemy of the energetic system within the body through the practice of the Heavenly Circuit and the Jin Jing Gong forms of Qi Gong. We begin by learning to control and direct the flow of the Heavenly Circuit, which is the internal energetic pathway within each individual.  The circuit allows the practitioner to understand the internal mapping of the body, and the effect that negative thoughts and emotions have on the body.  The circuit is integrated into the practice of Jin Jing Gong form along with basic qi gong walking movements and breathing techniques. No previous experience is necessary.
