About this course:

Qigong boosts and improves the various bodily functions by cultivating the body's natural energy flow and capacity with simple standing and seated postures, body movements and harmonized breath. The simple movements were developed over the last 5000 years to follow the natural flow of the earth's energy and improve the circulation of internal Qi (Chi) from the body and external Qi from nature. In this course, we practice various Broad Prescription Qigong (BPQ) sets of movements. While sitting and standing and using the body movements and harmonized breath-work, we increase our body’s natural energy flow and fill the energy centers in our body with vital life force, or Qi. Students must sign a waiver before participation.
