Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is an ancient Chinese mind-body-spirit practice that blends movement, breath, and intention to promote optimum health and wellness. It’s also been referred to as "energy yoga." There are thousands of styles of qigong – tai chi is the most well-known. We’ll practice various styles.

Tapping into the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, qigong flows are crafted for seasonal healing. During winter, we embrace the water element, focusing on kidney and urinary bladder health to enhance vitality, circulation, and brain function. These practices strengthen the lower back, knees, and bones, improve hearing, cultivate confidence and inner wisdom, and release fear and insecurity.

To support your wellness journey, we’ll end our flow with self-guided acupressure. Acupressure involves applying pressure to key points on the body to relieve tension, pain, and stress, while promoting circulation and balanced energy flow (similar to acupuncture but without needles).
