Qi Gong Class
Qi Gong is a very old and gentle 'moving meditation’. Qi is loosely translated as ‘energy’ and Gong as ‘work’, so Qi Gong is thus working with your energy. Qi Gong is beneficial in balancing the individual by calming the mind and strengthening the body to restore vitality and invigorate energy. Qi Gong is a low impact practice that can be adapted to all ages and fitness levels. One wears comfortable clothes to allow for easy movement. In class, basic Eastern principles and techniques are taught including breathing exercises, meditation, simple stances and walking movements leading to full forms of Qi Gong. You will learn to direct and move the energy in your body to heal injury, dispel disease, to help restore health and vitality.
The particular form that will be taught in this class is from the JinJing Gong Lineage where the forms translated name means ‘Harmonize Yin and Yang, Rising and Sinking, Opening and Closing Work’. It is beneficial in calming the mind, balancing the brain, stimulating lymph while opening the channels in the body to balance the system.
