!NEW CLASS! BEGINS FRIDAY, APRIL 10th

With support from Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon

For those dealing with Parkinson’s Disease, Qigong is particularly supportive.  Studies show that this moving meditation helps improve balance, stability, and gait issues, helping to reduce the risk of falls. The gentle movements are coordinated with breath and intention to help loosen muscles, combat rigidity, and develop more flexibility.  Increase circulation and mental clarity, while developing relaxation techniques. Movements can be performed while seated or standing. Please share this if you know of someone who is dealing with this central nervous system disorder. Here is a link to a paper from the National Library of Medicine, showing the beneficial effects of Qigong.

1:00 to 2:00 p.m.

CLASS PROTOCOL: Classes start promptly, so allow time for parking, settling in, etc.  Respect your healing time by being ready before the start of class.  If you are running late, simply enter discreetly. 

It is preferable to practice on a relatively empty and un-caffeinated belly so that the natural energy is more available. 

Wear comfortable layers and arrive unscented, phones silenced.  You are welcome to wear socks or bare feet.  Chairs are provided at all studios. 

Because each of us is unique, each will respond differently to this energy practice.  Bring your beginner’s mind and know that we benefit more from practice with a group.

Private tutoring sessions are also available – whether you are new to the practice and wish to get more familiar prior to joining a class, or whether you simply wish to receive more direct feedback from your own existing practice.  I am here to help.  Rate is $90 for a 75 minute session.
