A monthly two hour class devoted to mindfulness and relaxation through qigong and restorative yoga.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is an ancient Chinese intention-based practice that uses gentle movement and the breath to balance our energy flow. It assists in increasing our circulation, releasing tension in the body, building strength, and calming the mind. Qigong is one of the 5 pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the foundation of all martial arts, and has spiritual aspects allowing us to connect with the harmony of the natural world.
Restorative Yoga is a relaxation practice for conscious deep rest. Throughout the practice, props are used to support the physical body in positions of ease, helping to facilitate a positive relaxation response, where you can feel supported and nourished.
Both practices are accessible for everyone, and combining them together provides you with the opportunity to recharge and reset - physically, mentally and emotionally.
