Qigong

Qigong is a wonderful way to enhance health. 

I offer individual and group lessons in Qigong. 

I often introduce Qigong to my Health Coaching clients. It can gently wake up the circulation in the body and prepare someone who had not been exercising regularly so they can move into exercise after a few weeks. Many enjoy the practice and its benefits so much that they continue to practice as well as add exercise to their program of good health.

"Qigong  can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice 

that improves one's  mental and physical health 

by integrating posture, movement, breathing  technique,

 self-massage, sound, and focused intent. There are likely  thousands of qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms, and lineages,  each with practical applications and different theories about Qi (subtle  breath or vital energy) and Gong (skill cultivated through steady  practice)". - National Qigong Association

"Qi means "breath" or "air" and is considered the "vital-life-force"  or "life-force energy."  Qigong practitioners believe that this  vital-life-force penetrates and permeates everything in the universe. It  corresponds to the Greek "pneuma," the Sanskrit "prana," or the Western  medical conception of "bioelectricity."

Gong means "work" or "effort" and is the commitment an individual  puts into any practice or skill that requires time, patience, and  repetition to perfect.

Through study, the individual aims to develop the ability to  manipulate Qi in order to promote self-healing, prevent disease, and  increase longevity." - University of Minnesota
