QiGong PracticeWhat is QiGong? “Qi” means energy, and “gong” means “to work with.” QiGong is simply working with your body’s own energy, and is one of the best ways to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. When your energy becomes blocked, you can become physically or emotionally sick; when the energy blockages are removed, your body’s energy flows with ease and you get better faster – it is that simple. We will be coming together to discus how QiGong can help with your personal health. The exercises are non-strenuous and can be done by anyone. QiGong is considered a moving meditation, all the while learning to communicate with our own bodies. Come to participate, while learning about an amazing community.Terry Bjorke, Spring Forest QiGong274F T/Th Nov 5-Dec 5 No Class Nov 28 $25 7-7:30 pm HS, Room 1685
