Experts agree... “If you want to be healthy and live to 100, do Qigong.” - Dr. Mehmet Oz

Qigong, Tai Chi, Stretching and Intergral Energetics

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong), the practice of energy cultivation, and Tai Chi (pronounced tie-chee), the practice of balance and harmony, are ancient Chinese exercises that promote optimal health, vitality and longevity.  The exercises greatly reduce stress of all kinds and gives the practitioner a sense of peace and happiness.

"When you cultivate balance and harmony within yourself, or in the world -- that is Tai Chi.  When you work and play with the essence and energy of life, nature and the universe for healing, clarity and inner peace -- that is Qigong."  Roger Jahnke

The 4 components to Qigong, Tai Chi  and Integral Energetics are:
Mindful Movements, Breathwork, Meditation, and Self-Applied Massage

Mindful movements, synchronized with the breath, gently exercise and stretch the body.
Deep breathing and meditation relaxes and centers the body, mind and spirit.
Self-applied massage of hands, feet, neck, ears and scalp stimulate acupressure points to improve organ function , the immune system and energy flow.

Qigong classes concentrate on optimal health, longevity, vitality and healing the body and emotional mind.  The exercises reduce stress and improve the practitioners' overall health and sense of well-being. Exercises can be done seated, standing or lying down, thus, they are an excellent practice for those who are recovering from surgery illness or injury as well as those who want to maintain and improve their health.

Tai Chi Easy™ classes combine movements with meditation, bringing  balance, harmony and  alignment to the body and mind.  The Tai Chi Easy™5 movement form and the 9 Movement Integral Form are carefully developed methods and approaches to Tai Chi that makes it easy, beneficial and fun -- right away.  Students  learn  beautiful  movement practices designed to emphasize the cultivation of inner strength, improve balance,  calm the mind and restore the body to its natural state of health.

Qigong/Tai Chi classes are a relaxed combination of the best of Qigong and the Tai Chi Easy™ 5 movement form

Stretch for Joy:  Total body stretch class will increase flexibility, lengthen muscles and create space in the joints. The class begins with a gentle warm up and then moves into easy stretches, a fusion of Qigong, simple Yoga and Stretches for the whole body.  The class will conclude with a relaxation meditation. This class is designed for older bodies but all are welcome. We will do some standing and seated exercises and  stretches on the floor.  Wear loose clothing and bring mats and a blanket.

Intergral Energetics  focuses on tapping into our own energy and directing our energy to heal others.
