Qigong is the self-empowering practice of cultivating one’s vital life force. Facilitated by simple movements, breath, and intention, this preventive medicine helps to eliminate blockages caused by disease, injury, and trauma.  It allows one’s Qi/Chi – or energy – to flow more smoothly as all body systems become more aligned, strengthened, and grounded. The more abundant your energy level, the easier it is to stay healthy and balanced. 

Over the course of your practice, you will gain a greater awareness of unconsciously-held tension.  The body discovers a more natural, easy strength. 
This is how we both conserve and build energy for health and longevity.
 
Private tutoring sessions are also available.

A practice video is available for those of you who wish to continue developing your home practice.  If you are new to Qigong, it is an introduction to experiment with learning on your own.  The hour-long video includes:

  •  An intentional start to your healing practice
  •  Gentle warm up exercises to open up the body to the flow of chi/qi
  •  Standing Meditation (just over 10 minutes)
  •  A sample of moving forms
  •  Verbal instruction and detail

The cost is $45 for the download.  Contact me if you are interested.

 

Student Praise

I want to express my appreciation for this practice and your generosity in offering it. It is such a blessing in my life to awaken the curiosity in my body and spirit. Your teaching is so gentle and clear. ~ Anonymous

As I have practiced these last weeks I have begun to feel the experience of groundedness, being strong in the yin and expression coming from there. I am seeing myself also have a more clear voice and boundaries in my relationship with my partner, and it feels so healthy. ~ Ingrid

It has been such a pleasure to practice qigong with you. Thank you for your generous offerings of classes. I am enjoying being in the river of these forms again… my body and mind and soul all enjoying. I appreciate your teaching style, and your own obvious personal practice which informs it. Thank you for your immersion and your dedication. ~ Susan M.

I’m so grateful to all my fabulous teachers, yourself included, who are sharing their skills with the world right now. Personally, I’m very grateful for the reminder to chillax, which qigong sends through my system. Thank you so much for your generosity and knowledge sharing!! You truly are a master of your craft! ~ Jennifer Delich

Thank you forever and always for you and your gifts, both of teaching and of the power of your presence and humility. Your class has been such a gift. I really can’t imagine what 2020 would have been like without you and your class to anchor and purpose me: you helped lay a foundation of resilience, good health, and growth during this time, thank you. ~ Margaret
