Qigong/Taiji
Qigong is excellent for the beginner, and can assist with postural and alignment corrections, flexibility, balance, and mobility, as well as contributing a noticeable rise in energy levels. The class moves toward practicing Taiji, popularly known as Tai Chi, which is widely recognized for its magnificent health benefits and low impact exercise. The gradual transitions of stances in the form create internal strength, and through mindful movement the student learns breath control and meditation techniques that allow them to clear their thoughts. You may stand or sit in a chair for this program.
