Classes

The study of Channeling Energy and Self-Empowerment through Tai Chi and Qigong (Chee-gong) will be explored, introducing students to eastern theory of cultivating energy (or "Chi") and what constitutes a daily practice. Each session will be divided into two parts with the first half in Tai Chi followed by a second half devoted to Qigong static sitting, standing, or moving meditative practices.

Sessions will include definitions and theory of Energy Cultivation followed by guided practice. A major feature of these self-help systems will be the potential benefits for facilitating stress reduction, personal health, well being and life long learning.

This six session course is an introduction to the basic theory and internal work necessary for an effective daily practice of Tai Chi and Qigong. Each session includes guided practices for learning to apply the underlying principles and gentle flowing movements of Tai Chi.

Qigong warm-up exercises will be applied to stretch tendons, help open energy centers and joints and to regulate the body’s energy. The second hour will be devoted to guided meditation. As practitioners learn to clear blockages in their life-force energy, they will begin to tap into their natural powers of healing and disease prevention.
